A shameless, do-as-she-pleases rogue woman * A self-restrained, proper, stiff man
Before Qiu Yan died, she swore that even as a ghost, she would never let the person who had plotted against her get away with it.
But she didn't die. Just as she was worrying about how to take revenge as a spirit, she suddenly discovered that she had become the sword spirit of her sworn enemy.
Her sworn enemy, Yue Zhenwei, was pure and upright, exceptionally gifted, and revered by the world as the "Immaculate Sword Lord." Countless people admired him.
Only Qiu Yan looked down on him.
For one thing, Yue Zhenwei had once caused her cultivation to plummet. For another, he went out of his way to avoid her, as if she were a smear of mud or dust that would dirty the robes of the Immaculate Sword Lord.
The moment she was bound to her sword master, she saw thick black demonic energy roiling within Yue Zhenwei.
The senior disciple of the Heng Tian Sect, Yue Zhenwei, was actually a half-demon, a being the world would never tolerate!
"Heh," Qiu Yan gloated. "Now that I have his secret, won't my sworn enemy have to obey my every command and do my bidding?"
*
Yue Zhenwei had always thought that the heat surging through his body whenever he got close to Qiu Yan was his demon blood's instinctive rejection of the strong. So he had avoided her ever since.
Until one day, a demon explained, "In our demon realm, that's called wanting a mate."
Yue Zhenwei: "..."
He had intended to keep these feelings buried deep in his heart. As it happened, Qiu Yan had already mistaken his avoidance for dislike, so all he had to do was go along with it...
Until Qiu Yan became his sword spirit.
At first, all he wanted was to be able to keep looking at her. That alone would satisfy him.
He believed in his self-control.
