Heroine: A radiant saint of the immortal sect, but she has another side (?)
Male lead: Sharp-tongued and putting on airs at first, then an out-of-control devoted husband (and resentful husband)
The undercover bride Liu Guiyi makes an impressive entrance at the grand ceremony to choose a wife for the young master of the Yunyan Sect, and is selected to spend a trial year of marriage with the young master, Xiao Xing.
She bears the important mission of the "Red Deer Immortal": seize the Qipo and kill Xiao Xing.
This spy's job is no easy task. She has to hide the bloody feud from her childhood, break through formations and kill enemies, and murder her husband in front of everyone. The hardest part is that after killing him, she has to coax him back.
Everyone says Xiao Xing is a proper gentleman, but they don't know that the dreaded assassination organization Snowtrace Terrace, feared throughout the martial world, was founded by him. The young master affects a refined air and calls himself "Sir."
When it comes to killing, he is generous with instruction. When it comes to taking lives, he imparts his teachings.
As the saying goes: "A private tutor teaches people to read. That Sir teaches people to reincarnate."

He says, "Keep showing off like that, and you'll get yourself killed sooner or later."
She says, "If I can't save my life, so be it. Then you can bury me under the pomegranate tree in the bamboo grove. The flowers will bloom for you in summer, and the fruit will be yours to eat in autumn."
He says, "You really don't have to. That's creepy."

Liu Guiyi trembles all over. Xiao Xing lies in her arms, completely insensible, his unconscious body sinking lower. Liu Guiyi pulls him tightly against her.
The figure in black moves toward Xiao Xing, tauntingly scattering several icicles that strike the hem of his robe.
"Don't touch him." The murderous intent in Liu Guiyi's eyes grows stronger.

She says, "Illusions always fade. Soon, I'll never see you again, and I won't exist in this world anymore. Years from now, will you ever think of me?"
He says, "No. You won't disappear from this world."
