In his previous life, Ning Yun had an exceptional cauldron constitution. Unbeknownst to him, his close friends were all scheming to cultivate with him, hoping to make their cultivation more effective and raise their power.
Caught in their rivalry, he died indirectly as a result.
Reborn, Ning Yun is disillusioned with life and wants nothing to do with them. But by a twist of fate, he gets involved with the Demon Venerable.
The Demon Venerable is peerlessly handsome, and everyone who sees him bows in submission. He is precisely the reason Ning Yun's friends are so eager to increase their cultivation.
Ning Yun never wanted to get mixed up with them in the first place. Now, more than ever, he wishes he could keep his distance from the Demon Venerable.
But the inscrutable Demon Venerable has no intention of letting him go. He keeps Ning Yun by his side at all times and pulls him into his arms in front of everyone, saying coldly and arrogantly:
"Take one more step toward him and die."

His old friends close in on him, radiating a chilling coldness.
Ning Yun bravely meets their gaze. He's long been prepared for others to learn about his ill-fated encounter with the Demon Lord. Even if all he has left is a frail, ailing body, he can still fight them to the end.
"Senior Brother, tell me the truth. Did that bastard force you?"
"A-Ning, don't be afraid. Just say the word, and I'll bring you his head."
Ning Yun looks at his old friends, who have long since become big shots: "???" Why aren't you reacting the way I expected?
#I used to ignore them, but became the moonlight in all their hearts#
