When Qin Juansheng was about to join a sect, his elders asked what he wanted out of life. The fifteen-year-old boy thought for a moment, then looked up with a smile.
Qin Juansheng wanted to be a young hero: fine wine and a beautiful companion, roaming the jianghu with carefree pride, finding one or two close friends so that everyone under heaven could be a brother, marrying a beauty, and starting a family. Then his innocent heart would have somewhere to belong.
Sadly, not one of those dreams came true.
Years later, Qin Juansheng became a demon. His former fellow disciples drew their swords against him, and a blade plunged straight into his heart. The partner he had struggled so hard to win poisoned him for years, destroying all his cultivation. The little beast he had carefully raised bit his palm, breaking their bond and taking the last of his life force.
Driven back step by step by his enemies, he fell from a cliff.
When he awoke, his past life was gone.
There was a saying in the sect: if you cultivate the Heartless Way to its end, you can return from the dead. But once all five emotions are gone, they can never be restored.

After realizing the Great Dao and weathering countless hardships, he finally ascends.
