At the Immortal Sect’s grand competition, Su Changning risked her life to shield her master, Lu Yuan, from a fatal sword strike. Her Golden Core shattered. As she lay dying, she heard him speaking with the sect leader.
“She looks like her. Keep her around. She’s only a tool for getting through my tribulation of love.”
So their three years as master and disciple, spending every day together, had all been because she was a stand-in for his one true love.
At the sect’s celebration, she shattered her Golden Core in front of everyone and returned both her cultivation and her love. “Venerable Immortal Lu Yuan, look carefully. My name is Su Changning. I’m no one’s shadow.”
She leapt into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, severing all ties with him forever.
Everyone said there was no way she could have survived.
Until that day in an ancient secret realm, when Bai Ye, master of the mysterious power known as the Ruins Market, removed his mask before all the immortals under heaven.
“What is it? A moment ago you called me useless, and now you want to be friends?”
Behind her, the aloof and proud Sword Venerable’s eyes reddened, and his Dao heart shattered.
