After the Universally Hated One Casts Aside Love

During the ten years I was kept under house arrest, I could never stop thinking about that one glance I stole at my senior sister while she watched me suffer the punishment of heavenly lightning from afar. A cold smile seemed to play on her lips. I never expected my senior sister to hate me so much. I was often so heartbroken that I wanted to die, but my elderly mother was still waiting for me in the mortal world. When Mother learned I was under house arrest, she was devastated. Every few days, she would ask my cousin to bring me a letter from home. Each time, my cousin would kick me when I was down and mock me mercilessly. I remember that when we were young, my cousin liked me best. She followed me around all day, begging me to play with her. Mother even said she was like a stubborn dog plastered to my side. Now... But I couldn't blame my cousin for that. I thought I could only blame myself. After all, I was a disciple of the immortal sect, tasked with guarding the Demon-Suppressing Tower, yet I had absurdly fallen in love with the demon clan's saintess imprisoned inside. Xuan Ying, Xuan Ying, Xuan Ying. She deceived me, toyed with me, and led me around by the nose. In the end, as I stood alone beneath the scarred and battered moon hanging over the wilderness, I still felt pity for her past. At last, ten years passed. I still couldn't let go, so I secretly used a forbidden spell to tear out my own emotional ties. Theme: Gentleness is the foundation of love and strength
