One day, ten thousand people will kneel before me.
One day, ghosts will fall beneath my sword.
For the first sixteen years of her life, Yu Ke was tormented by the devil called the college entrance exam. She studied with everything she had, dreaming about solving problems even in her sleep.
But when she turned sixteen, her dreams began to feel strangely real.
She dreamed she had become an ignorant little girl in an old utopia. Her life had been peaceful, carefree, and happy, but on the day she transmigrated, her entire clan was slaughtered. Not a single one of the 138 members of her family survived.
In the dream, Yu Ke hugged her knees and cried behind the flames.
Yu Ke: ...What? What am I doing? I need to go back and study! I have the college entrance exam!
But the story did not go as she wished. She really became that poor girl, her family was wiped out, and she was left with a blood feud to avenge.
Later, she was lucky enough to be taken in as a disciple by the renowned Wu Jin, a major figure in the cultivation world.
From then on, the hand that once held a pen was forced to wield a sword. She went without proper food or lodging, enduring hardship after hardship. Oh, right, she also got a System. It told her that her goal in this world was revenge, revenge, and more revenge.
After ten years of sword training, she was finally capable of becoming a peerless heroine. But the day before she was due to graduate, she died beneath her master's merciless sword.
The world told me: My purpose in life is revenge.
I once told myself: My purpose in life is to go back.
But only when I saw you did I realize that the purpose behind all these decades of effort was simply to get closer to you, step by step, Master.
Yes, Yu Ke fell in love with her master, a man who cultivated the Merciless Dao.
But perhaps she was doomed by fate. In the end, she died horribly by his sword, without ever managing to say, "Master, your little disciple Keke adores you. I've been in love with you for so long. Would you give your disciple a chance?"
She wasn't asking for much, truly. Just one chance.
Legend says that the supreme master Xie Wujin fell to the demonic path the day after personally killing his wicked disciple, Yu Qingge. His hair turned white overnight, and he went on a frenzied killing spree in Jinshui City.
He gazed at the ruined buildings and saw a girl of sixteen or seventeen. Even his cold eyes softened.
He watched the girl for a long time, then finally shook his head. She wasn't his Keke after all.
To bring her back to life, he drenched the city in blood, went mad and demonic, and became a monster feared by all.
The world says I cultivate the Merciless Dao, that I should never fall in love in this life. But in the end, I fell in love with you. Ten thousand years of cultivation, my whole being destroyed, and I became a demon, all for the delusion that I might see you one more time.
