A fake stoic woman and a genuinely reserved, smoldering man.
Falling in love with a sharp-tongued, feigning-innocence disciple is the greatest punishment for a teacher who didn't do a good job teaching her.
Three hundred years ago, a heaven-blessed woman who had never known defeat lost to a great demon. She devoted herself to cultivation and, along the way, raised a clam spirit.
She never expected her cultivation partner to betray her, nearly costing her her life. Even the clam spirit she'd raised from the start had caught the enemy's eye!
Fine, fine!
If he wants it, he can have it! My clam spirit only listens to me.
Han Li is that clam spirit. He was originally supposed to be a spy, but unexpectedly fell in love with his teacher.
And his teacher fell in love with him too.
They're doomed. Neither of them is taking cultivation seriously anymore.
After a hundred years of cultivation, he returns, still a good-for-nothing. Fortunately, he has plenty of equipment; otherwise, he couldn't win a fight.
If you can't beat them, poison them. For the sake of Jian Jingchuan's cultivation manual, the Jian family descendants are truly shameless.
Additional notes:
1. The male and female leads are each other's only sexual partners, but because of the Jian family's selfish motives, they drug the heroine and force her into dual cultivation. Please take note if this bothers you.
2. They secretly love each other. The heroine realizes it first and deliberately acts slow-witted so she won't hurt the hero.
3. The person in the hero's heart is still the heroine. It's just that this has been going on for a thousand years.
Theme: It is precisely because they belong together that love grows over time.
