Xuan Lian had mediocre talent on the path to immortality. She had been stuck at a bottleneck for ten years and still couldn't break through. Then she heard that the Dao Ancestor's first disciple of Qingxu Sect was a naturally gifted Dao body, a once-in-a-thousand-years find.
He was also perfect material for cultivation through dual cultivation. Xuan Lian used every secret technique of the Hehuan Sect before finally taking a hundred years of his cultivation.
Cultivation was easy to obtain, but staying alive wasn't. No matter how often she moved caves, she couldn't escape his sword-wielding pursuit. Xuan Lian spent over a decade fleeing from place to place, becoming a laughingstock throughout the cultivation world.
To save her life, she had no choice but to force her way into forming a core. She never expected to face the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation! This time, she didn't even have to wait for him to strike: the heavenly lightning blasted her into a charred lump!

During the beast-tide battle, the Dao Lord of Qingxu Sect broke through the beast sect's formation single-handedly. Everyone said that although the Dao Lord was cold and aloof, he was a genius of the Dao and would surely bring glory to the sect.
But everyone has a weakness, and cultivators are no exception. Only he knew that when she abandoned him, pain and resentment filled his entire sea of consciousness.
Used and discarded. Just wonderful.

Xuan Lian can't help feeling that something is off.
The person who once wanted to kill her most is now going around helping her put her body back together.
The upright, self-controlled Dao Lord is like a completely different person at night.
Xuan Lian plans to run away as soon as her body is patched up, so she turns a blind eye to his strange behavior.
But his temperament grows more and more sinister. She merely talks a little too long with someone else, and he locks her in a cave for days.
This can't go on.
Xuan Lian looks at her gradually swelling belly and vanishes without a trace in the dead of night.

"A Lian, I gave you the chance to come to me willingly, but you didn't cherish it." He takes her chin in his hand, his fingertips caressing it as golden Dao light surges within him.
She stares at the Dao Lord, who now seems like a complete stranger, and backs along the wall. "You said it yourself back then: if I deceived you and humiliated you, you would kill me."
He watches her, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I've changed my mind. If you want to leave, it will only be after I die and my Dao is destroyed."
One-on-one romance, with plot and romance running side by side. A little System, lots of sweet moments. The main business: fighting monsters and picking up treasures.
A flirtatious, scheming, lying hanger-on from the Hehuan Sect x an upright, refined gentleman from the Qingxu Sect
Theme: Even if you fall into the mud, you can still get back up.
It looks great. I love watching it. Madam, please update more.
