After Our Reunion, My Former Daoist Partner Regrets Everything

The entire cultivation world is abuzz with the news that Tan Qingtiao will become the next sect leader of the Nine Heavens Soaring Sky Sect. Yet this treasured disciple of the Soaring Sky Sect, destined in her previous life to attain divine perfection, has a scandalous romance of her own, keeping a lover hidden away in a golden house. For three years in the Cloudtrace Retreat, Jiang Fenghe endured Tan Qingtiao’s tempestuous favors day after day. She had no idea that the reincarnation of the Spirit Equaling Venerable, renowned for her wisdom, far-reaching insight, and detachment from worldly affairs, was so obsessed with her body. If outsiders knew that the usually haughty, aloof sect leader of the Heavenly Patrol Gate had made love to her in every room and every corner of the Cloudtrace Retreat, they would be left speechless. But Jiang Fenghe knew, too, that she was a good-for-nothing, discarded by her parents and utterly abandoned by her clan. There was nothing about her that could possibly attract Tan Qingtiao. Once she had repaid the kindness she owed for three years, she thought they could part on good terms. But Hua Xiao, Tan Qingtiao’s Dao companion in her previous life, awoke with her memories restored. She was none other than Jiang Fenghe’s twin sister, who had lain unconscious for years. So she had been mistaken for someone else. The ceremony welcoming Hua Xiao began right on schedule. Tan Qingtiao arrived in full finery, hand in hand with Jiang Fenghe’s sister, as intimate as a married couple. Jiang Fenghe had no desire to get entangled in their affairs. She only wanted to leave. But even her wish to slip away unnoticed was denied. The first time she let her guard down around that woman, she discovered that she had crept silently into her room… With the Equal Heaven Sword in hand, she slit Jiang Fenghe’s wrist, brutally pulled out her bones, and drew out her blood essence. Jiang Fenghe’s teeth chattered with pain, and sweat drenched her head, but the woman merely pinned her down and kept pulling out her bones, as if dissecting an animal she couldn’t care less about. “Bear with it. Just bear with it, and it’ll be over…” It turned out Jiang Fenghe’s twin sister needed to be nourished by the blood of a close relative in order to awaken. Now she understood why her bones had suddenly begun to ache and tremble over and over during those three years. Jiang Fenghe pretended to be unconscious and escaped that time. Later, she risked her life to make her way out of the Cloudtrace Retreat. Who could have guessed that the woman would suddenly go mad, eyes red as she demanded to know whether Jiang Fenghe had ever loved her? When they met again, the woman was all smiles and intimacy with Jiang Fenghe’s twin sister, yet looked at Jiang Fenghe with nothing but icy indifference. Jiang Fenghe wanted no entanglements. But that woman only grew more and more unhinged. Not only did she defy the sect leader in front of the entire sect, overriding every objection, she also took Jiang Fenghe back to the Cloudtrace Retreat in front of her twin sister… Then, in the dead of night, when no one was around, she would sneak into Jiang Fenghe’s room and ask her over and over in a low voice, “Jiang Fenghe, did you ever like me at all?” Jiang Fenghe, who should have been fast asleep, opened her eyes and looked at Tan Qingtiao. “No.” A crack suddenly appeared in Tan Qingtiao’s beautiful golden eyes. Her eyes reddened, and she pulled Jiang Fenghe fiercely into her arms, stubbornly murmuring in her ear, “I see… It’s all right, as long as…” “You haven’t fallen in love with anyone else, right?” Theme: When she finally looked back, that person was there beneath the fading lights.
