Xiao Wan has killed countless people in her life, yet she never imagined there would be someone who would trust her completely, no matter how many lies she told, and who would risk his life to heal her wounds and purge her poison, without knowing where she came from or whether she was good or evil.
She thought Zhou Shubai loved her.
But the young man had clear, gentle features and an open, honest heart. "I saved you only because my sect taught me to put all living beings first."
If he didn't love her, then let him hate her.
That would still be better than being just another one of all living beings in his eyes.
Until the day the righteous sects rose up against her, determined to use the blood of a demonic woman like her to honor the dead.
At death's door, she saw him shield her with his own body. Even under brutal torture, even as his bones were shattered, he refused to speak a single word against her.
"Go protect all living beings. Why bother with me?"
"I will protect all living beings, and you."
"Xiaoxiao, the snow on Washing Dust Peak has stopped. What about the snow in your heart?"
Later, when I saw his white robes stained with blood, I thought that becoming one of the people he protected wouldn't be so bad.
