Girl tyrant x aloof senior brother | 1v1 | Both leads are each other's first | Happy ending
While infiltrating an immortal sect, Ji Xuan, the young mistress of the demon clan, falls for her senior brother, Huai Bei.
He is strikingly handsome and a prodigy of his generation, a heaven-blessed talent admired by everyone.
But her senior brother cultivates the Heartless Path. No matter how Ji Xuan tries to tempt him, he treats her as if she doesn't exist.
During a trial in a secret realm, Huai Bei is struck by a deadly poison that can only be cured in the short term through dual cultivation.
Ji Xuan is overjoyed to get her chance. She pins him to the ground, ready to cure the poison, but in his weakened state, he manages to seal her acupoints instead. He would rather die than betray his Daoist heart.
Later, during the battle of Fengcheng, Ji Xuan fakes her death and returns to the demon clan, then personally leads an army to smash through the immortal sect's barrier.
When the old lovers meet again, the aloof senior brother who once renounced love is suddenly red-eyed.
When Ji Xuan taunts him, he even kneels at her feet before everyone's eyes, begging her to spare the others.
Recalling all the ways her senior brother once rejected and distanced himself from her, Ji Xuan reclines on her throne, placing her foot on his spine as she mocks him. "Since when did you stop cultivating the Heartless Path and start acting like a dog, Senior Brother?"

As one of the rare elite among the immortal sects, Huai Bei vows to kill the enemy when he learns the demon army has invaded and sees his home destroyed with his own eyes.
But when Ji Xuan appears before him, the hand holding his sword suddenly goes limp.
Huai Bei has loved his junior sister for ten years. His cultivation of the Heartless Path has been broken for ten years.
When he was poisoned in the secret realm, he was willing to make love with her, but was too embarrassed to say so. After rejecting Ji Xuan, he barely made it back to the immortal sect alive.
He never imagined that his junior sister would be attacked after that day, and that the only thing brought back would be her cold corpse.
He regretted it bitterly. He hated himself for cultivating the Heartless Path, and for refusing to let her have her way with him.
Then, after the battle of Fengcheng, he got the chance to see her again and was forced to kneel at her feet.
To protect the immortal sect that had raised him, Huai Bei volunteers to become her furnace cauldron and more.
Everyone says he has made an enormous sacrifice for the righteous path, but no one knows that in his heart, he is more than happy to do it for her.
But Ji Xuan is no longer the way she used to be. It seems she has no feelings for him anymore.
So he puts on sheer gauze, displays his servile, alluring side, and learns to chase after her, asking for what he wants: "Please, Master, show me your love."
At last, Ji Xuan is willing to cradle his alluring face and lean in for a kiss, only to slap him without warning the next moment.
"Affection that comes too late is cheaper than grass."
