"Gentle older shizun vs. a mischievous, silly junior sister vs. a cold, obsessive snake demon"
Sui Qing is the youngest junior sister on Qinglu Mountain. Her cultivation is terrible, but luckily she's sweet and clever, and knows just how to win her shizun and senior sisters' affection.
So even though she lazes around, she's enjoyed a carefree life since childhood, with meals and clothes provided for her.
The dishes served at every meal have to change with the seasons. They can't be too oily or too dry, too salty or too bland. Her clothes must be changed daily and be stylish and unique, and she has so much jewelry it could fill the Qinglu River.
She thought that even if the sects outside were locked in bloody battles, she could spend her whole life being pampered like royalty.
But on the day she turned fifteen, she found a storybook in the back mountain.
The contents of the book were truly unbearable to look at: eye-wateringly obscene, lustful, and absurd.
And the protagonist was none other than the taciturn girl her senior sister had casually brought back a few days ago. Everyone on Qinglu Mountain, from ordinary senior sisters to the exalted shizun, had all sorts of relationships with her!
And Sui Qing was the villain who, through her unreasonable antics, pushed every senior sister and the shizun toward that taciturn girl, only to be abandoned in the snow to fend for herself!
She refused to accept that ending!
So from then on, Sui Qing began the long journey of trying to change her fate!
In spring, beneath the peach blossoms, her second senior sister carried a bowl of sweet peach blossom porridge toward the taciturn girl. Sui Qing intercepted her and downed the porridge, putting an end to any chance of the two falling in love over time.
In summer, at the lotus pond where people went to beat the heat, her senior sister settled the taciturn girl, who was suffering from a fever, in the water to cool off. Sui Qing dropped from the sky and pulled her senior sister out of the pond, putting a stop to their flirtatious glances.
In autumn, at the hunting grounds, the taciturn girl stole the show in front of everyone, taking half the prey. Sui Qing resolutely stepped in and claimed all her game for herself, neatly preventing the possibility that the demon clan's leader would take an interest in the taciturn girl for being so capable.
In winter, atop Qinglu Mountain, the taciturn girl sat facing the sect leader and shizun, and feelings quietly blossomed between them. Sui Qing was left on the outside.
She thought everything was over. She had guarded against everything, but hadn't guarded against her shizun falling for the taciturn girl...
She really was going to die in the snow.
To stay alive, she could only pack her bags in the dead of night and head down the mountain to find somewhere peaceful to live.
Who could have guessed that just after she used her savings to buy a tavern and start a small business, two immortal swords would pierce the roof and land right in front of her?
Staring at the two figures in white and blue, Sui Qing slumped to the floor:
They... They chased me down to kill me...

Meanwhile, on the day Xu Qinghe and Shang Tiao sat facing each other:
Shang Tiao: "She knew Senior Sister was making things difficult for me and had drugged the porridge, yet she drank it for me. She loves me."
Xu Qinghe smiled sweetly: "I raised her."
Shang Tiao: "She saw I was suffering from heatstroke and came to take care of me herself. She loves me."
Xu Qinghe beamed: "I raised her."
Shang Tiao: "She worried my skills would draw too much attention and reveal my identity to the demon clan, so she helped me hide my prey. She loves me."
Xu Qinghe grinned: "I raised her."
Shang Tiao: "...She kissed me."
Xu Qinghe fell silent.
Xu Qinghe stopped smiling.
Xu Qinghe drew her sword.
