[Beloved junior sister who cultivates the Heartless Dao x scheming, gloomy ghost master]
No one in the cultivation world had ascended in a hundred years.
A "conquest System" appeared out of nowhere, claiming that anyone who won over the junior sister of Lingxiao Sect, who cultivated the Heartless Dao, could ascend on the spot.
At first, everyone thought it was a shortcut.
The senior brother kept her company and pretended to care.
But when she was injured, he panicked.
The second senior brother fussed over her and pretended to offer guidance.
But when she went into seclusion, he kept watch in silence, just so he would be the first person she saw when she came out.
The young lord of the demon clan repeatedly showered her with gifts and pretended to court her.
But when she faced a tribulation, he gave up his own life-core to take every bolt of heavenly lightning for her.
At first, they followed the System's orders and tried to conquer her. But little by little, they fell for her in spite of themselves.
No one cared about ascending anymore.
Everyone was thinking: How can I get the junior sister to look at me one more time?

Lyu Qiuqin had known about the "conquest System" all along.
She'd be a fool to turn down something useful that was handed to her for free.
She accepted all their attentions with a smile and used them to improve her cultivation.
She didn't initiate, didn't refuse, and didn't fall for them.
Watching those people fall deeper and deeper, she remained unmoved.
The System broke down. Wake up! You're supposed to conquer her and destroy her Heartless Dao!
Everyone: Shut up!

There was only one person who never played along with the System's script.
In public, he was Lingxiao Sect's aloof and dignified Immortal Venerable, revered by all. Every word and action of his was exemplary.
No one knew what shameful obsession hid beneath that austere, desireless facade.
He never made a scene or crossed the line.
Yet, quietly and imperceptibly, he insinuated himself into Lyu Qiuqin's life.
As if he were everywhere.
