Jade of Distinction

Xiao Taoyu is an emotionless cultivation machine: a cold face, white robes, a long sword, and a compassionate heart.

She was once told that she would face a deadly calamity at eighteen and was sure to die. So her master kept her safe inside the mountain gate, and did so for a full eighteen years.

Oblivious to all this, Xiao Taoyu only wanted to descend the mountain to slay demons and uphold justice. She also wanted to find the young man who had once shared life and death with her. During a brawl, her master finally granted her long-held wish: she kicked both Xiao Taoyu and her luggage down the mountain.

Master: You’re free.

Xiao Taoyu: Master, this is a bit too sudden...

Master: Pack your things and get out.

It was all well and good when this young disciple stayed on the mountain. But as soon as she went down, she picked up a noble young master from a prominent family as her teammate.

By a twist of fate, he was the very person she had been longing to find.

Xiao Taoyu thought: Well, would you look at that. My romantic tribulation is here!

She had assumed Gu Chenshu was as beautiful as a flower, could fight, could rock her world (not really), and could cook. Then, by chance, Xiao Taoyu discovered his shocking secret.

Everyone in the cultivation world wanted to make a name for themselves by slaying a dragon. As it happened, Gu Chenshu was a little white dragon.

What’s more, this young master hadn’t taken a liking to her at all. He had followed right behind her from beginning to end because he wanted to take her life one day. What unbelievable dragon audacity!

At the same time, Xiao Taoyu, already on the verge of an emotional breakdown, discovered Gu Chenshu’s second astonishing secret...

Xiao Taoyu sneered coldly: Young Master Gu, how does being in heat feel?

Gu Chenshu gritted his teeth and asked: ...As a disciple of Bingyu, you’re forbidden from breaking the precept against lust. What exactly are you trying to do?

Xiao Taoyu put on a stern face: Naturally, I’m here to deal with a demon dragon!

Gu Chenshu merely chuckled. Leaning against the soft couch with his clothes half undone and his eyes half-lidded, he was the picture of irresistible charm.

"Xiao Taoyu, can you really do it?"

After countless twists and turns, she finally understood. Gu Chenshu...

was the blood of her heart, the calamity written in her fate, and also the perfect match she was destined to find in this life.
