In a matriarchal cultivation world, Song Jintang, the young mistress of the Hehuan Sect, binds herself to a System. Her mission: win over Xie Fuxue, the foremost practitioner of the Heartless Dao. The System promises that once she succeeds, her engagement to the Demon Lord will be broken, and she'll be free.
Song Jintang follows the usual playbook: chance encounters, flirtation, risking her life to save him, and relentless pursuit. Xie Fuxue remains unmoved, as cold as ice. The System displays "Progress: 0%."
What she doesn't know is that Xie Fuxue has been reborn. In his previous life, she flirted with him, then faked her death and disappeared. He fell into demonic cultivation and slaughtered half the immortal realm looking for her. In this life, he knows every one of her tricks in advance: every approach, every "chance" encounter.
So he keeps his expression calm, waiting for her to flirt, to lure him in, to think she's got him right where she wants him.
Until the day she fakes her death according to the script. Xie Fuxue opens his eyes, his gaze pitch-black, and says, each word deliberate:
"Try running away this time."
Theme: All things have feelings. The Heartless Dao is not the Dao of Severed Emotions.
