A dark-hearted heroine bent on revenge vs. a sharp-tongued, proud puppy of a hero
By all rights, Yu Yang should be dead.
The day the Demon King drove her into the Sea of Despair, she should have been reduced to ashes.
But she had a trick up her sleeve and escaped by faking her death.
After shedding her identity as a demon, she gained the spiritual roots of a cultivator. She chooses to enter Cangshui Sect as a sword cultivator, determined to see what makes this cultivation world different.
A master who minds no worldly affairs, a senior brother set on attaching himself to a rich woman, another senior brother aspiring to become the top star of Tongshan Hall, a senior sister who writes fanfiction about said top star, and a hopeless romantic senior sister who loves chasing the junior brother from the neighboring sect.
Yu Yang: Your cultivation world really does have some interesting characters.
And as for that fellow disciple from the neighboring peak clinging to her robe, please let go of it first.
The hero's perspective:
Shan Yizhou discovers that Yu Yang's body has a fatal allure for him. Whenever he gets close to her, his body grows excited beyond his control. To uncover the secret, he starts looking for opportunities to approach her.
At first: Did you poison me?
Later: I'm going to poison you.
Content warnings: 1. My own take on cultivation fantasy, with plenty of original worldbuilding.
2. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, one-on-one pairing.
3. Neither lead is perfect.
4. Plot-focused, with the heroine's growth as the main storyline.
5. A slow burn. Sorry for using the wrong tags. This story may not be particularly satisfying, and it isn't a power fantasy.
6. Updates are intermittent and slow, with no set schedule.
Theme: Don't give up. Keep working hard.
