A shameless, do-as-she-pleases rogue woman × a rigid, self-restrained man
After dying one day, Qiu Yan became the sword spirit of her sworn enemy.
Her nemesis, Yue Zhenwei, was pure and upright, exceptionally gifted, and revered by the world as the “Pure Sword Lord.” Everyone admired him without limit.
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 speck of grime that might soil the robes of the Pure Sword Lord.
The moment she was bound to her sword master, she saw the thick, churning black demonic energy inside Yue Zhenwei
Yue Zhenwei, the senior disciple of the Hengtian Sect, was actually a half-demon, a being the world would never accept!
“Heh,” Qiu Yan gloated. “Now that I have his secret, won’t my nemesis have to do as I say and let me order him around?”

Yue Zhenwei had always believed that the reason his whole body seemed to boil whenever he got near Qiu Yan was that his demon blood instinctively rejected the strong. So he avoided her from then on.
Until one day, a demon explained, “In our world, that’s called wanting a mate.”
Yue Zhenwei: “…”
He had meant to bury his feelings 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.
Later, he blocked Qiu Yan’s way home, his half-demon wings unfurled. Yue Zhenwei’s dark eyes were like an icy prison, locking her firmly in place.
He pulled her into his arms and murmured, “Let me stay.”
“Stay by your side.”
