No one can shake her senior brother's sword heart, except for her, whom he spares, letting bygones be bygones… She tries to ambush him in a secret realm but fails, instead falling into a deep cliff because of him, her life hanging by a thread. Ouyang Changxuan: … (feels something is wrong, but has no way to refute it) Li Chaoyin is a beautiful but always single female cultivator, her mind filled with nothing but cultivation advancement. However, the most handsome man in the Misty Sect relentlessly pursued her, insisting on becoming her Daoist partner, shaking her resolve... Hao Yu: ... (Feeling something was amiss, but unable to refute it) Li Chaoyin was a female cultivator who strictly adhered to etiquette, vowing to maintain a normal master-disciple distance with her master. However, her master seemed to be hiding something from her; his gentleness and kindness appeared to be merely a facade... Feng Lang: ... (Smiling without speaking) One day, the Eternal Night Lord of the Demon Realm recognized her as his subordinate. Rumor had it that Mu Yunshan, who imprisoned the most powerful expert of the Lingyun Sect, whispered in her ear like a demonic voice, "You are a demon." Female Lead: With a single sword stroke, she drew the Lingyun Treasure, seduced the most powerful expert, and destroyed Mu Yunshan, who had imprisoned her for decades. She defected from her sect, transformed into a demon, and retrieved her long-sealed memories. Female Lead Setting (Leaning towards a Black-Hearted Lotus): The Great Dao is ruthless; she uses every means to soar to great heights. I alone ascend to the heavens. What of the past?

    This is the author's first fantasy/xianxia novel, and you can check it out if you're interested. (Single female lead, no system, not a wish-fulfillment story, ensemble piece, initially told from the female lead's perspective, slow-paced and requires patience, with a lot of setup. Suggestions are welcome; the author humbly accepts them.) Note: The female lead is the first character to appear; the male lead appears in chapter 25. The characters in the first few chapters are not the male lead. Aside from the main and side plots, there are many interactions between the male and female leads. If this is a concern, please proceed with caution.
