Duan Che idolized the Sword Venerable Bei Moting from a cultivation novel, and refused to accept the bad ending where Bei Moting turned evil and destroyed the world.
"Out of character! This is completely out of character!"
In the original story, Bei Moting stood at the pinnacle of the sword path, but was framed into accidentally killing a fellow disciple and permanently expelled by his sect. Heartbroken, he cultivated the Heartless Path and returned to slaughter the sect. Then, driven mad by his inner demon, he destroyed the cultivation world.
Duan Che just wanted to tear the book apart.
"The Sword Venerable is such a kind and compassionate person. How could he ever take the path of ruthlessness? This is just terrible writing!"
He transmigrated into the body of Duan Nanxing, the spirit of a broken sword, before Bei Moting's fall to darkness, determined to change the plot and save the Sword Venerable.
He approached Bei Moting when the other disciples shunned him, stood up for him when he was framed, and stayed by his side to protect him when he was mired in despair.
Bei Moting's perpetually gloomy expression gradually brightened, and his gaze grew more and more tender. Convinced he'd played a major role in this, Duan Nanxing was smug with satisfaction.
He couldn't understand why his fellow disciples always looked at him with such terror.
Until one day, Duan Nanxing accidentally collided with Bei Moting, their skin touching.
Before he could apologize, he saw Bei Moting's eyes turn bloodshot, as if his meridians had been damaged.
"Sir... Why are your eyes red?"
Veins faintly bulged on Bei Moting's forehead, but he merely took Duan Nanxing's wrist and smiled warmly.
"Because I've already mastered the Heartless Path."
It turned out Duan Nanxing had gotten the timing wrong when he transmigrated. The world's destruction was now right around the corner.
The tragic Sword Venerable he thought existed was nowhere to be found. On the contrary, Bei Moting had become the most terrifying person in everyone's eyes.
Duan Nanxing: ...
Duan Nanxing: Then everything I did before...
Bei Moting: Was very cute.
Duan Nanxing: …
Since things had come to this, he could only steel himself and keep trying to redeem Bei Moting, and stop the original story's world-ending conclusion.
To help him break free of the Heartless Path, Duan Nanxing deliberately brought Bei Moting together with a princess of a great kingdom and devoted himself to teaching Bei Moting modern flirting techniques.
But Bei Moting insisted that Duan Nanxing help him break the path himself.
Duan Nanxing retreated in panic into the sword. "Sir, I'm just a sword!"
Bei Moting gently stroked the base of the sword, making the blade tremble faintly.
A hint of slyness appeared on his usually cool and aloof face.
"Have you thought about what will happen if you don't come out?"
