The cultivation world has been on edge lately.
Rumor has it the new Demon Lord, Xie Wugou, is cruel and ruthless, having killed his father and family, and now plans to launch an all-out attack on the great immortal sects. He's even going to abduct the peerless Immortal Venerable Yun Zhi!
Meanwhile, at a blind fortune-teller's stall in a town of mortals, Xie Ci pockets the copper coins he's scammed from people and sighs. “Who keeps spreading these rumors about me?”
Xie Ci is actually a transmigrator. The System gave him a script: “The Immortal Venerable's Doomed First Love.” If he follows the plan to win over the Immortal Venerable, then dies tragically at the Demon Lord's hands when their love is at its strongest, he can help the other man sever his attachments and ascend to immortality, while returning to his own world.
But there was one problem: he arrived decades too early. Waiting for the story to start was so boring that he couldn't help chopping down the old Demon Lord and taking his place.
Looking at the plot that had gone completely off the rails, the System wailed every day: “You killed the big villain! How is he supposed to undergo his tribulation of love? How is the plot supposed to continue?”
Xie Ci, looking innocent: “How is that my fault? The old guy was too weak. What was I supposed to do?”
To keep the world from collapsing, Xie Ci still put on a secret identity and went to stage a faked encounter.
The Immortal Venerable Yun Zhi, of the greatest sect under heaven, was like a brilliant moon, lofty and untouchable. One day, he brought home a blind, frail mortal and made him his cultivation partner.
Everyone sighed that the Immortal Venerable had been duped by a little con artist. Little did they know, he understood better than anyone that the little liar was full of lies and would hold a grudge over the slightest thing. Yet he was willing to indulge every disguise and scheme.
He thought there would be plenty of time, and that sooner or later the little liar would let down his guard and be honest with him. But he never got the chance. His little cultivation partner was brutally killed by the heinous new Demon Lord.
The usually serene Immortal Venerable Yun Zhi went mad. He charged alone into the Demon Palace, vowing to tear the Demon Lord to pieces.
But the figure on the throne gave a quiet laugh and slowly removed his mask, revealing the face Yun Zhi had longed for day and night. The man smiled brightly and wickedly.
“Husband, what took you so long?”
