A justice-fueled young heroine × a lovestruck, loyal puppy
Blurb:
Chi Chao, a young heroine, rescues a boy who is about to kill himself by the river and decides on the spot that she will save him.
Unfortunately, within three days, the boy is talked around by his family and decides to let go of his resentment and live a good life.
Chi Chao can only leave in disarray.
But the boy appears at her door again, his eyes red-rimmed as he gazes at her.
"I've been swindled out of all my silver. Could I stay at your place for a few days?"
Looking into his forlorn eyes, Chi Chao's heart leaps with the same thrill as when they first met.
She hears herself say yes.
The boy's name is Jiang Zheng. They get along surprisingly well, and even make a promise to become wandering heroes together.
Before they can fulfill their promise, her mother falls ill. Standing before her mother's coffin, Chi Chao suddenly has a thought.
Don't grieve. Don't feel any unnecessary emotions.
The thought comes from nowhere, yet leaves her drenched in cold sweat.
It feels like a warning from fate.
For several days, she keeps her door locked. On the other side of the wall, Jiang Zheng tries one thing after another to cheer her up.
After that, their feelings collide, and plans for their wedding are put on the agenda.
One night, the ordinary wooden sword beside Chi Chao's bed suddenly begins to glow, then transforms into a human figure.
She says, "I am your sword spirit."
As it turns out, Chi Chao is a female cultivator of the Heartless Dao, on the verge of ascension. She came to the mortal realm to undergo a tribulation, and to be tested.
As it turns out, the husband she is about to marry is a demon, and all the animals she isn't particularly close to are monsters.
At last, everything strange has an explanation.
Chi Chao's mind buzzes as she listens, stunned, to the sword spirit say, "Now, there's only one final step left before you ascend..."
At the same time, someone knocks on her door. The boy's clear voice comes from outside. "A Chao, are you asleep?"
", Kill your husband to prove the Dao."
