Shi Wenwei, a celestial immortal lord of Changhe who has lived for three thousand years, is debonair and lonely. She thinks she has long since seen through the word "love."
Her closest friend tells her bluntly, "You don't need a man with a name and a title. You need a dog who won't leave no matter how much you beat, scold, or chase him away."
Weixi is that dog, delivered right to her door.
Born into poverty and all alone, his face, hidden beneath a layer of grime, is so ethereally beautiful he seems almost otherworldly. More importantly, he is the illegitimate son of her former Dao companion.
He follows every rule she sets perfectly, chopping wood, boiling water, sweeping and cleaning. Even Shi Wenwei starts to wonder if she's being too hard on him.
Weixi lowers his eyes, his clear gaze full of complete trust and dependence. "It is my honor to serve you, Immortal Lord."
When everyone thinks Weixi has won her favor and their marriage is settled,
Shi Wenwei gives a cold laugh. "He's just a pet."

Word spreads through the celestial realm: the Sword Lord of Qingyun has found his illegitimate son in the mortal world. The ancient divine sword now has an heir, and there are faint signs that the longstanding grievances between the Celestial Court and the Immortal Alliance might finally be resolved.
The young and promising swordsman makes his first appearance, all smiles and easy to get along with, praised by everyone for his good temper.
But when Weixi looks up at the Changhe Immortal Lord on the jade steps, his expression suddenly freezes.
He bows deeply, but keeps his eyes fixed on the person above him. "It's been a long time. You remain as elegant and otherworldly as ever, Immortal Lord. With my mortal eyes, one look at you is enough to make me remember you forever."
-
One day, the sign over Changhe is split in two by a single sword strike.
The former Sword Lord of Qingyun flies into a rage. "Shi Wenwei, how dare you go after my son too!"
Only then does Shi Wenwei lazily draw away from someone's embrace, prying the fingers clinging to her clothes loose one by one.
Watching the person he worked so hard to please sweep away, Weixi draws his sword and faces his visitor. "Father, you can't throw a tantrum just because you lost to me, can you?"
