A haughty, pampered heiress versus a brooding senior disciple with the ways of a mistress
Su Xueyun is the most dazzling young lady of the Yaotai Spirit Palace. The only thing in her life that has ever displeased her is being betrothed to the senior disciple she hates most.
Jun He is the greatest sword cultivator of his generation, a peerless talent. But his face is ruined, he suffers from an old illness, and he comes from a lowly background.
She can't stand the sight of his face.
On their wedding night, she left him behind and ran off with a handsome man.
But she never expected her beloved to be seeking revenge, with her as the daughter of his enemy.
In a single night, the Spirit Palace was destroyed. She fell from the heights and was hunted by demonic cultivators, with nowhere left to turn.
On a bitterly cold, snowy night, she thought she would die in the storm.
Instead, the man she had humiliated countless times appeared, stepping over a mountain of corpses. He took off his cloak and wrapped it around her, then turned to shield her from a rain of blades and swords.
She thought Jun He had only coveted her naturally medicinal constitution.
Only in the final battle, as he lay in a pool of blood, did she see the guilt in his eyes:
"I'm sorry. I can only protect you this far."
·
Su Xueyun was reborn.
Back to the night of their engagement.
In her previous life, Jun He's old illness could only be cured by dual cultivation with her, a woman born with a medicinal constitution.
She rejected him every time, and he never forced her.
That night, Jun He had already gone to bed when someone swept aside the bed curtains.
A warm, soft body slipped beneath the covers, and slender pale fingers reached inside his clothes.
His body stiffened as he heard her say bitterly:
"Let's practice dual cultivation."
.
To cure his old illness, they practiced dual cultivation once a month.
Jun He always stopped at just the right point and never asked for more.
She thought he was merely a principled gentleman who knew how to restrain himself.
It seemed that in her previous life, he had risked his life to protect her out of nothing more than loyalty to his fellow disciple.
Until the day she stumbled upon his secret.
The undergarments and handkerchiefs she had thrown away were all hidden in the darkest corner.
Late at night, when she wasn't there, that most restrained figure would clutch them in his hands and do the most shameful things.
·
Jun He knew his face was repulsive, and he knew exactly what he had done.
He was the one who had stolen and hidden her things.
He was the one who had schemed to arrange their engagement.
He was the one who had killed the man she loved.
And he was the one who had forcibly kept her by his side.
One crime after another, countless wicked deeds, selfish desires, and vile thoughts.
He thought that one day, when she saw the truth, she would despise him, hate him, and take revenge on him a hundredfold.
He had never imagined
that she would willingly walk toward him, one step at a time.
