Jiang Buyi transmigrated into the world of cultivation, entering a dog-eat-dog realm in an ordinary mortal body.
Danger lurked at every turn. In less than a day, she witnessed a horrifying case of fellow disciples slaughtering one another.
Later, she thought she would once again become a stepping stone for someone else's advancement. At the brink of life and death, however, she glimpsed a faint light.
She saw a young man.
His name was Ling Zhao, a solitary cultivator. His plain old clothes were stained with blood, his face was as still and clear as snow, and his nature was gentle.
He dragged her from the claws of a demon beast. Later, he even shared half a stalk of spirit herb with her, saving her life.
With no friends or family to turn to, she could only stay by his side and ask for his protection.
She gritted her teeth and started cultivating from scratch. He patiently taught her to identify spirit herbs, draw talismans, and recognize poisonous miasma and spiritual energy.
Though he was short on spirit stones himself, he used the money he earned hunting beasts to buy her warm winter clothes, always looking out for her.
One day, Jiang Buyi discovered that she had awakened a strange ability: she could see the spiritual radiance around other people.
Ling Zhao smiled faintly. "That's a good thing. From now on, you won't be so easily tricked by scoundrels."
Under his smiling gaze, her heart gave a little flutter.
She thought she had fallen for him.
Later, Ling Zhao set out to find a spirit herb that could cure the root of her illness. As they parted, he gently tucked a blue jade hairpin into her hair and told her to wait for him.
But no one came. Instead, she received terrible news: someone had seen him at Wuxiang Sect.
When she found him at Wuxiang Sect, he was sitting alone on a high platform, imposing and aloof, a stranger to her.
Jiang Buyi pressed through the crowd and looked up at him. At the same time, his gaze fell on her, cold and distant, carrying a crushing pressure.
Jiang Buyi went cold all over.
He wasn't Ling Zhao. The spiritual radiance around Ling Zhao was like moonlight, gentle and pure. It couldn't possibly be this deep red, tinged with blood and brutality.
She had to find Ling Zhao.
But why did this fake Ling Zhao, the current leader of Wuxiang Sect, keep clinging to her and getting in her way?
-
Ling Zhao had lost a stretch of his memories, and a part of his heart felt empty.
That day, in the crowd, he saw her at a glance, and his heart suddenly warmed. Even without remembering, he knew she was the one.
But why did she look at someone else, and think only of someone else?
