Ten years ago, Yuan Ci, the founding master of the Xuanhui Sect, was renowned throughout the land. She misjudged someone and gave her love to the wrong person, and so met her end. The Xuanhui Sect fell into decline soon after.
Reborn in a single morning, she found herself as Zhao Ci, an outer disciple of a dilapidated sect.
Just as she was preparing to avenge her brother and smash the scumbag's head in,
she discovered that this body was slow-witted and frail, and that she was the delicate little flower everyone in the sect bullied.
Zhao Ci: Then I'll roll up my sleeves and start over... Wait, someone's trying to make me suffer? Sorry, I've lived this long without ever putting up with a grievance. Draw your sword!
Li Mu was an illegitimate son of the Demon Clan, with a turbulent past and a twisted, ruthless disposition.
When he first met Zhao Ci, Li Mu thought: This woman is mysterious and unfathomable. Someone must have sent her to kill me.
After circumstances forced him to travel with Zhao Ci, Li Mu thought: She must have some ulterior motive.
After Zhao Ci cured his poison, Li Mu thought: Hmph, what a hypocrite.
But when Zhao Ci dusted off her robes and prepared to part ways with him, Li Mu panicked. He tugged at her sleeve and pleaded, "I have no way to repay you. I... could offer myself to you instead?"
Zhao Ci said helplessly, "Young hero, to be honest, I'm actually your great-aunt, long lost to you."
Li Mu: ???
He lost his heart, all the while resenting that she remained so cool and composed.
A carefree, free-spirited beauty x a down-and-out, gloomy young man in love
A light and breezy xianxia story with satisfying moments. The heroine is absolutely amazing!
In her previous life, the heroine was the male lead's senior (not actually his great-aunt).
The male lead is a scheming, crafty guy around others, but a sweet, naive fool with the heroine.
There are some scenes where the second male lead tries to win back his love, but he won't succeed.
Theme: Hand in hand, we'll roam the world with swords at our sides.
