When Yun Xiu was left to fend for herself among ordinary folk, she stole and cheated, and lies rolled easily off her tongue. What she never expected was that she was the daughter of the Heavenly Pole Sect's leader.
Every day after returning to the Heavenly Pole Sect, she watched her words and actions carefully, because she knew a great sect like this would never tolerate a fraud staying there.
She resolved to do her best, but she was a good-for-nothing when it came to cultivation. Absurdly, her older brother was a genius.
Everyone in the Heavenly Pole Sect seemed like a stranger to her. The only exception was Yan Xi. Perhaps it was because she had met him earlier than the others. He carried her, unconscious after being beaten, to get medical treatment, then bought her little trinkets. Besides, he didn't seem as formidable as her older brother, nor did he press her about why she had no talent like everyone else.
At the Heavenly Pole Sect, Yan Xi was the only person Yun Xiu could talk to.
What Yun Xiu didn't know was that Yan Xi also only dared to talk much with her at the Heavenly Pole Sect. He was afraid people would discover he was half-demon, and he wasn't good at communicating with others. Yun Xiu was different: she liked talking to him but never pried into his affairs.
From the day they officially became senior and junior sect siblings, they were often together. Yun Xiu had a secret: she had been secretly in love with her senior brother Yan Xi for years. Many people knew, but Yan Xi didn't.
Yan Xi had a secret, too: he liked Yun Xiu, but he was half-demon. Even though everyone knew, he still tried to keep his feelings hidden.
Later, when Yan Xi sacrificed himself in the war between humans and demons, a thousand words crossed his mind. But all he said in Yun Xiu's ear was, "Junior Sister, don't ever get so badly hurt again."
