Yun Ling works for the World Administration Bureau. She's assigned to a small world to reform someone who is about to destroy it.
There are two kinds of reform: try reason first, then force. If moral persuasion fails, use physical persuasion.
Yun Ling killed Xu Weiqing three times. All three attempts failed.
The fourth time she attacked, Xu Weiqing dragged her down with him.
The good news: She didn't die.
The bad news: She lost her memory.
The two of them fell into the Deathless Wilds, where demons and monsters make their home. Humans who enter have almost no chance of survival.

As the Sword Venerable of Taiwu Sect, Xu Weiqing was admired by all, noble and immaculate. His grand plan was just one step from completion when Yun Ling suddenly appeared and repeatedly thwarted him.
Her methods were unpredictable, and she was ruthless. She was his greatest enemy in this life.
She wanted to kill him, and he wanted to kill her.
He was ready to take them both down, but neither of them died. He lost all his cultivation and became helpless as meat on a chopping board, with no choice but to rely on Yun Ling to survive.
He endured humiliation and bided his time, waiting for the day he could kill Yun Ling in return.
As they traveled from the Deathless Wilds to the Penglai Realm, the amnesiac Yun Ling was warm and vivacious, giving him all her kindness without holding anything back.
In the end, Xu Weiqing still succeeded. Sitting alone beneath the evening sky, he called Yun Ling's name without thinking. The only answer was the howling wind.
Everyone said that evil had possessed the Sword Venerable. He searched frantically, from the Yellow Springs to the heavens, for someone who had never existed. They all lamented the loss and sighed that Heaven was jealous of talent.
Yun Ling, who had faked her death, was slacking off and eating ice cream in her office. She casually shut off notifications from the small world. She didn't care if Xu Weiqing went mad, as long as the world kept running normally.
A hand suddenly seized her wrist. A drop of melted ice cream landed on the back of her hand, icy cold.
"Found you."

Little skit:
Amnesiac Yun Ling: Who are you?
Xu Weiqing: I'm your father!
Amnesiac Yun Ling: You're so weak. How could you be my father? (She attacks and kills him.)
Xu Weiqing: I'm your master!
Amnesiac Yun Ling: You're so weak. How could you be my master? (She attacks and kills him.)
Xu Weiqing: I'm your husband!
Amnesiac Yun Ling: You're so weak. How could you be my husband? (She attacks and kills him.)
Xu Weiqing: ...
