They said she was once the Sword Sect's Holy Maiden, destined for a life above all others, and that her older sister had stolen it all from her.
She didn't care. She loved her sister. If her sister wanted that life so badly, she could let her have it.
But if her sister didn't love her, she would kill her.
They said Chu Lian had once been her betrothed, but since Chu Lian had already been carrying on secretly with her older sister, he was no longer worthy of her.
She disagreed. Her sister actually cared more about that man than about her. She was jealous of him, and had to snatch him away from her sister.
But once she had him, she was displeased again. How could a man with no sense of propriety expect her sister to love him, when he didn't even love her back?
She would have him thrown into a pig cage.
After she'd done everything she wanted to do, they asked her if, now that everything had gone her way, she could spare a little time to cultivate.
She wasn't having it. None of them had a higher cultivation level than her, so who were they to nag her about cultivating?
She would do whatever she pleased.
Theme: Life is short. You die before you even make it to a hundred, so enjoy yourself while you can.
