Chen Fengling is Qingxuan, an aloof and self-possessed immortal in the celestial realm, whose sword chills the air with frost. He was supposed to descend to the mortal world and undergo a tribulation of love, settling the karmic debt of his past.
But the Heavenly Dao made a slip, and not only did he miss the designated place for his tribulation, he plunged headfirst into the modern world, where there was no spiritual energy at all.
His memories sealed, he lived there for eighteen years, always believing he was just an ordinary modern person.
He had excellent grades and a handsome face, and life went pretty smoothly, apart from always being pursued by guys.
But he never imagined that after rejecting an ardent suitor's confession, he would be dragged into the water and nearly drown. The Heavenly Dao then forcibly bound him to a deadly mission:
[Transmigrate to the cultivation world and stop the chosen one, Tan Yixiao, from falling to darkness, turning demonic, and destroying the Three Realms.]
[If you succeed, you'll be sent back to the modern world and revived, and you'll receive 30 billion in cash as a bonus.]
[If you fail, your soul will be scattered, and you will never be reincarnated.]
Chen Fengling: "??? Seriously, does that sound right to you? Why do I have to pay with my life if I fail?"
As a trendy guy who loves reading novels, Chen Fengling knows full well he's holding a redemption script! But how should he persuade a future big shot not to fall to darkness? A sudden idea strikes him: he'll care for him, protect him, and give him the most attentive affection!
Everyone knows Tan Yixiao is the finest sword cultivator in Jiuzhou, a genius said to have cut through all ties of affection and become cold and heartless, like the moon in the heavens, sitting alone above the world.
Yet this supremely aloof, heartless genius of the emotionless path has somehow become entangled with a young disciple! The boy keeps telling him things like, "Train hard and keep improving," while finding all sorts of excuses to bump into him. Tan Yixiao has no choice but to indulge him. But in their day-to-day companionship, the feelings he had severed stubbornly grow back, entwining themselves into the shape of that silly junior disciple. His fate has been full of hardship, and he has never dared ask for anything, yet more than once he has prayed to the heavens: "May the wind fall into my palm."
Later, Chen Fengling accidentally learns the truth about their past lives. This aloof sword cultivator worshipped by the world, the future demon lord who will destroy it, was once the Demon Emperor, who shook the Three Realms and looked down on all living beings. And Chen Fengling, the young man who now only wants to complete his mission and stay alive, is none other than Qingxuan, the immortal who once fought the Demon Emperor, entangled with him in love and hatred that would never end!
"Ha ha... What a mess, huh? Awkward, isn't it?"
As for what to do now, obviously he has to run! Tan Yixiao has already been reformed by him, so there's no way he'll turn evil just because he can't find him, right?
...Probably?
