Shao Jing, the ancestor of the Jiyun Sect, was renowned as a once-in-a-generation genius.
Coldhearted, ruthless, and domineering, she struck fear into the hearts of everyone in the cultivation world.
Then one day, her master, who had long since ascended, appeared in her dreams.
He told her that her cultivation had reached the pinnacle, but she had been unable to break through because she was stuck on the matter of love.
Shao Jing asked, "So what should I do?"
Her master lovingly patted her head. "I only attained the Dao and ascended after taking on a wonderful disciple like you."
Shao Jing understood.
The next day, she announced that she planned to accept a chief disciple.
The entire Jiyun Sect was in an uproar. After searching high and low, they presented her with a gifted young man with an exceptional spiritual root.
Shao Jing was very pleased with her new disciple. There was only one problem.
He was far too prone to getting hurt.
He fought a spirit beast, his weapon malfunctioned, and he was gravely wounded.
Acting out of her duty as his master, she swooped in to save him.
He entered a secret realm to seek treasure, stepped into a deadly formation, and nearly lost his life.
Acting out of her duty as his master, she reached out to pull him free.
He was drugged with an aphrodisiac and writhed on the bed.
She... looked at her disciple, his skin flushed red and his face seemingly pained.
Acting out of her duty as his master...
They spent a night together.
Who could have guessed that from that day on, her disciple would look at her in a more and more peculiar way?
Male Lead's Version:
Nobody knew that Song Lingzhi had infiltrated the Jiyun Sect, driven by the desire to avenge his family, who had all been slaughtered.
The person he wanted to kill was none other than Shao Jing, the famous ancestor of the cultivation world.
To that end, he went to great lengths.
He tried to provoke a spirit beast into attacking Shao Jing, but ended up getting run through himself.
He had Shao Jing to thank for saving him.
He tried to use the secret realm to eliminate Shao Jing without anyone finding out, but nearly failed to make it out alive.
He had Shao Jing to thank for saving him.
He was drugged with an aphrodisiac and had meant to resist even if it killed him.
But when Shao Jing appeared before him, her robes fluttering, and asked whether he needed rescuing this time,
he reached out as if possessed and pulled her onto the bed.
From that day on, he could no longer control his feelings for Shao Jing.
His desire to kill her at all costs
turned into a constant urge to claim her, even if it meant overstepping the bounds between master and disciple.
