When Ye Jingxue was young, he had no parents and was abandoned by everyone.
Even stray dogs kicked him as they passed.
One day, while someone was humiliating him, a voice suddenly appeared in his head, mocking him for being spineless and cursing the people bullying him.
Ye Jingxue thought it was someone's prank. He swallowed the humiliation without a word, until he looked up and met a pair of disdainful eyes.
The ghost yelled at him, "You idiot! Throw a left hook, a right hook, an uppercut, a lowercut, then sweep their legs out from under them!"
Ye Jingxue: "Who are you?"
The ghost was stunned. "Huh? You can see me?"
From then on, he had a wandering spirit by his side. Through trash talk, cons, scams, and standing up for those in trouble, the ghost shared life and death with him, and together they survived in the perilous cultivation world.
But they couldn't stand each other, and were both thoroughly annoyed by the other.
Later, the ghost obtained a body thanks to a fortuitous opportunity. He immediately stabbed Ye Jingxue in the back and ran away.
That day, as snow fell heavily, Ye Jingxue knelt in the snow and swore that he would never let Shi Zhi get away with it.

After Shi Zhi died, he thought he would never see Ye Jingxue again. But when he woke up, the entire cultivation world was hunting him.
A hundred years had passed, and Ye Jingxue's hatred for him had only grown. When he caught him, he threatened to grind his bones to dust.
Seeing that appealing to their old feelings wasn't working, Shi Zhi's mind went blank. To save his life, he shouted in front of everyone, "I did all this because... I like you!"
Ye Jingxue gave a cold smile. "Fine. No time like the present. Let's form a bond today."
Shi Zhi: "Huh?"
Wasn't he supposed to be so disgusted that he'd throw him away!?
