Three hundred years after Chu Liuzhao left her sect, she received a message from them. She hadn't wanted to go, but in the end, she still set off with her sword.
A group of Liuxian Sect disciples were attacked by vengeful ghosts on their way to train. At the critical moment, a saw-toothed sword cut through the air, and the ghosts vanished in an instant.
They looked over and saw a woman with a tall, slender figure and a handsome, defiant face: Chu Liuzhao, the sect's founding genius and its strongest fighter.
Chu Liuzhao entered Liuxian Sect as a child. Back then, it was an insignificant little sect. Together with her fellow disciples, she raised its standing one sword stroke at a time.
After it became the number one sect, disciples born to ordinary families but blessed with exceptional talent were constantly suppressed. Chu Liuzhao was ostracized in particular. In the end, talented disciples from humble backgrounds all left, and her master was forced to leave as well. Chu Liuzhao was the last to go. She and the lover who had once stood at her side chose different paths.
After three hundred years apart, Chu Liuzhao looked at the former lover with whom she had once shared tender intimacy and passionate nights. She lowered her eyes and said coolly, "It's been a long time."
Leng Shuangxi, now a senior figure in the sect, saw his long-aloof expression crumble in an instant. He stared at her, his voice low and hoarse. "It has."
Chu Liuzhao had planned to leave as soon as she escorted the disciples to safety. But her former lover threw himself into her arms, clung to her, and even kept a close watch on her at every moment. Those once-cool eyes now held nothing but obsession and the unease hidden beneath a storm of possessiveness.
Chu Liuzhao kept herself guarded and distant, until Leng Shuangxi lay naked on her bed, lips curved in a smile, his eyes clear and bright just as they had been in their youth.
Chu Liuzhao gazed at him with darkened eyes and raised a hand to twirl a lock of his hair. "Does your Dao companion know you're seducing your old lover like this?"
Leng Shuangxi hooked an arm around her neck. His face, white as snow, was wild with desire as he coaxed her, "Isn't someone else's Dao companion more fun?"
Chu Liuzhao didn't hold back. She showed no mercy when playing with someone else's Dao companion, and she had plenty of tricks.
She thought they were only acting on their desires, tangled together in bed. Once she had escorted the disciples away, they would go their separate ways.
But later, the sect's suppression, her master's departure, increasingly powerful ghosts, and Leng Shuangxi's Dao companion all gradually brought the hidden truths to light.
The Heavenly Dao had always favored Chu Liuzhao. After all, she was the first person in its world to become so powerful at such a young age that the Heavenly Daos of other worlds envied it.
1. Important: both leads have only ever been with each other. Both are powerful, but the heroine is absurdly powerful, beyond reason. The hero seems graceful, composed, and cool on the surface, but loses all sense when it comes to the heroine.
2. This isn't traditional xianxia, and the author has made up plenty of details. Women are naturally exceptionally gifted, can establish their foundations right away, and cultivate quickly.
