My Amnesiac Dao Companion Is the Heavenly Dao's Daughter

Man Shu has lost her memories.

She leaves the sect that took her in and heads for the Mo Tower, the greatest trading house in the cultivation world, to find a way to recover them.

The journey is full of twists and turns. In her haste, she takes advantage of Chen Yu, threatening him into forming a Shadow Pact, then abandons her senior sister to face a city full of dangers alone.

"Profit-driven and utterly selfish," Chen Yu judges.

He had wondered whether someone as reckless and cold-hearted as her could ever be attached to anything. Little did he know that he would be the one to fall first, and when his love went unreturned, he would tear off his gentle, mild-mannered mask with his own hands.

Chen Yu: Are my feelings not loud enough? Why do you pretend not to hear them?

Man Shu: When I look at you, I see a skeleton wrapped in skin and flesh. It is hard to feel desire. And besides, you're a puppet.

Man Shu thinks Chen Yu must be crazy. He actually wants her to fall in love with a lump of wood. Only an idiot would do that, wouldn't they?

--

When her memories return, Chen Yu weeps rivers, while Man Shu changes her tune like an actor onstage.

Man Shu: I love you.

Chen Yu: I have no human body or flesh.

Man Shu: I'll give you one.

Chen Yu: How?

Man Shu: I have four pupils in two pairs of eyes. I'll give you two to use as a body.

Chen Yu: You're not planning to turn a deaf ear anymore?

Man Shu: I can't look the other way anymore.

--

Later, the heavens and earth merge, and the two worlds become one.

Man Shu asks him if he ever hated her or the Heavenly Dao. He shakes his head. Only he knows that, at his most desperate, he could only think that if he had been the one to choose, he would have chosen Man Shu too.
