    Chen Hao transmigrated to the cultivation world, his spiritual root incomplete. He was assigned to the menial labor quarters of the Myriad Dao Sect, where he was bullied by everyone. Fortunately, the system activated, repairing his spiritual root, and he finally embarked on the path of immortality. One day, Luo Fanshuang, the aloof and ethereal Golden Core cultivator in her twenties from the sect, noticed an unusual fluctuation of spiritual energy and landed at the door of his dilapidated hut. Their eyes met, and both of their hearts skipped a beat. He blurted out, almost unconsciously, "Have we... Met somewhere before?" As soon as the words left his mouth, his back was covered in cold sweat. For a menial laborer to say such a thing to a Golden Core senior sister was tantamount to courting death. But he didn't know that Luo Fanshuang had already silently recited those words in her mind. She wasn't angry; instead, she smoothed things over for him. A few days later, the system sent him to Qingxiu Peak to deliver medicine to Luo Fanshuang to suppress her cold poison. He scrambled into the cave and stumbled upon his senior sister, who was suffering from a cold poison attack, lying on the ground, her eyelashes frosted over. He pulled her into his arms, channeling his primordial spiritual energy bit by bit, forcefully pulling her back from the brink of death. His senior sister opened her eyes, her ears turning red, but she didn't push him away. The next day, the inner sect core token and the library's top-tier token landed in his palm. "Within the sect, anyone who dares to touch you is my enemy." Later, disciples often stopped him to ask, "Fairy Luo is so arrogant, why does she treat you differently?" Chen Hao looked completely innocent: "How would I know? I was just helping my senior sister detoxify in the first place."
