Chen Yin was born with immortal bones. Even without cultivation, her power grew by leaps and bounds, and she reached the Golden Core stage at a young age.
But only as far as the Golden Core stage.
The Heavenly Oracle said her immortal bones were flawed.
With flawed immortal bones, unless something unexpected happened, her cultivation would never advance another inch for the rest of her life.
Still, there was a way.
To break through, she had to find someone whose heart-tip blood could mend her immortal bones.
After searching high and low, she finally found Zhu Changqing.
Chen Yin didn't much like her fiancee.
Their engagement was purely a matter of mutual benefit: the Chen family would provide Zhu Changqing with all the resources she needed to cultivate, while Zhu Changqing would give Chen Yin ten drops of heart-tip blood each month to mend her immortal bones.
She's like a mute. A block of ice.
That was how Chen Yin complained.
As luck would have it, Zhu Changqing walked in just then and heard everything.
Chen Yin felt a little guilty.
But Zhu Changqing showed no expression. Her eyes lowered as usual, she fed her heart-tip blood into Chen Yin's mouth.
Only, when she finished, Zhu Changqing's finger twitched, and a drop of blood landed at the corner of Chen Yin's lips, staining them a vivid red.
Frowning, Chen Yin complained that Zhu Changqing was wasting blood. She took Zhu Changqing's finger and sucked the last drop into her mouth.
Zhu Changqing let her do as she pleased, turbulent emotions hidden behind her lowered gaze.
At the time, Chen Yin couldn't understand what it meant, not until her immortal bones were fully restored, without a single flaw.
Zhu Changqing, too, mastered the sword.
With Zhu Changqing on the verge of ascending, Chen Yin made the excuse that they were incompatible and desperately tried to regain her freedom.
The moment she spoke of breaking off the engagement, Zhu Changqing's cultivation fell, and a red mark appeared between her brows, the sign of a demonic fall.
Chen Yin turned to flee, but the world spun around her. In the next instant, she was pinned to the bed.
"Yinyin, do you really think I'm cold-hearted, passionless, and free of desire?"
"Through all these endless days and nights, I've longed for you."
