A scheming sweetheart × an icy, arrogant man
Su Zhishui is an undercover agent for the demonic sect, posing as a healer who saves lives. While treating the wounded, she attempts to assassinate the seriously injured lord of White Emperor City, who is lying in bed.
At the crucial moment, the chief disciple of the Coldlight Sword Sect ruins her plan with a single strike.
The young man was born with a sword constitution, flawless as white jade. Beloved by his sect and respected throughout the martial world, he was destined to become the greatest swordsman under heaven.
To hide her identity and infiltrate the sword sect, Su Zhishui decided to make him her next target.
That night, the young man, who never touched alcohol, broke his rule after she coaxed him into drinking. Blushing and tipsy, he kissed her. His eyes held a tenderness she had never seen before, and he repeatedly confessed his feelings in her ear.
He said he was willing to give up everything and become her cultivation partner.
Su Zhishui didn’t believe him.
She didn’t dare believe him.
Instead, she turned around and stole the sword sect’s sacred treasure.
At the Sword Cliff, ten thousand eight hundred zhang high, the disciples drove her to the edge.
The young man took the full force of the sect leader’s furious sword strike to save her.
Even at the very end, he weakly clutched the hem of her clothes. His usually proud, bright face was filled with helplessness.
Su Zhishui knew he was waiting for her to explain.
To say she’d been forced, that she had her reasons, that she’d had no choice.
To say that when she closed her eyes and waited for his kiss, she had once imagined they could be together forever.
Su Zhishui said nothing.
Without looking back, she left and disappeared into the distance.
Not long afterward, Su Zhishui fell into trouble and fled in a panic, only to meet him again at a narrow pass.
The young man had died once and been reborn, transformed and no longer innocent. His gaze was cold and desolate, devoid of all the warmth he’d once shown her.
All that remained was hatred.
He said coldly, “I should have killed you from the start.”
Su Zhishui looked at the trembling sword before her and curled her bloodied lips into a smile. “Then why did you just lie to everyone and say I wasn’t hiding here?”
Reader’s Guide and Content Warnings
1. A bad woman deceives an innocent boy. A love story steeped in hatred.
2. The male lead is a good young man from beginning to end. The female lead is very selfish and awful at first.
3. The romance is the main focus and the pacing is fairly slow. The story follows the leads from their first meeting, through their falling-out, and then to their reunion.
4. I couldn’t find the story I wanted, so I wrote it myself. This is a writing exercise as I get back into practice. Please don’t read too much into it.
Theme: Too young to know love or hate, he gave his whole heart without reserve.
Tonic wow wow, I really want to read it. The first thing I will do when I turn on my phone tomorrow is to see if there are any updates [crying] [crying] Hey, what do you say, baby? I am also an author, so I understand data anxiety, but in fact, sometimes there is no way to have very good data in all books. Maybe there is a lag. Maybe it is not impossible that it suddenly bursts after you write, but I don't mean to force you. If you are anxious and uncomfortable, just rest for a while. Wuwuwu, I am waiting for you to come back. Come on! ! Looking forward to your most exciting part. We, Xiao Shui and Xiao Ji, are in love with the sea! ! Baby, please pay attention to your health. Try to stay up late as little as possible and ensure sleep [kiss] [kiss]
I really like this story. The emotional line and the plot line are developed very delicately at the same time. In fact, I am often in a bottleneck period now, and I can only wait for the few authors I follow to update. I hope everyone can maintain a good state, and I wish you a stable life.
Baby, I think your writing is very good...! Boys and girls are the most awesome [Star Eyes] Just relax and write happily, because maybe readers who haven't updated for too long don't know about new pits. Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal...! Very well written! ! [Shy]
It's really beautiful. The boarders come back every week and enjoy this.
No, I've only been following this book recently, waiting for an updated chapter every day [crying]
Dad, you must believe in yourself, you can do it [Spread Flowers] [Spread Flowers] You must persevere, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance, take a good rest during this time [Rainbow Fart]
Ahhhhh how could this be! I really like this book [Hold your thighs] I just want to gain weight and become a big fat person in one go [Poor] I will follow it forever! ! ! [Let me be healthy]
The Lord is a swordsman, so is the Seventh Junior Brother not dead? Or the vests of other junior brothers who are out there?
The writing is really good. Such a good book, why is the data not so good?
