As a tool for the cultivation world, Ji Yan faithfully spends her whole life helping her master ascend to immortality.
The first time she is injured for her master, her junior brother sits beneath an ancient banyan tree and lazily takes her wounded arm in his hands. His bright lips curve into a carefree smile. "Senior Sister, how can you be so foolish? Just about anyone can hurt you."
The second time she is injured for her master, her junior brother pins her against the door. He lightly hooks a finger under her chin, his voice gentle but his smile never reaching his eyes. "Is that old man really so important? Important enough for you to risk your life for him?"
The last time, Ji Yan goes after a spirit beast's core for her master. Just as her soul is about to be torn apart, her junior brother takes the fatal blow for her.
The young man's voice is hoarse, each word deliberate, his eyes filled with icy malice. "Ji Yan, this is the last time. From now on, if you want to die, then die. I won't help you."
At last, after all her hard work, Ji Yan reaches the end of the story.
Overjoyed, she packs her bags, ready to transmigrate back to the modern world. When she turns around, she discovers to her horror that someone has imprisoned her soul!
She watches the astonishingly gifted young man slaughter her master's entire household, his crimson robes soaked in blood as he clutches a wisp of her broken soul and falls into demonic cultivation. He doesn't hesitate to disrupt the balance of the world just to resurrect her, his tool of a senior sister...
At last, Ji Yan, who has kept silent all this time, flips the table and roars:
"What the hell, let me die! Let me die! Didn't you say you wouldn't help me? Have some integrity, you little brat!"
Reading Guide:
1. Not a transmigration-into-a-book story. One-on-one romance, happy ending. A gentle but ruthless, slightly deranged junior brother x a cool, beautiful senior sister who knows how to soothe him.
2. The male lead is practically invincible, possessive, wicked, and twisted. He's not a sunny, passionate young hero.
3. Romance-focused, not a traditional cultivation story.
Theme: See through the clouds, press forward without hesitation, and learn to cherish what you have.
