She Only Wants to Become an Immortal

When Yang Jiayi was seventeen, she caught a chill. That January, the Qin army broke through the gates of Zhaocheng, and she went from princess to prisoner.

If nothing unexpected happened, the rest of Yang Jiayi's life would follow one of two paths. With a bit of luck, a loyalist from the former dynasty would rescue her on the road to exile, and she would spend her life fighting to restore the kingdom. With less luck, she would die of illness on the road and become a confused, wandering ghost.

But then a rainstorm struck during the journey into exile, forcing everyone to take shelter in a ruined temple. There, they encountered a fox demon that preyed on people. A young sword immortal descended from the sky, and with one stroke, he cut off the fox demon's head and snapped the chains on Yang Jiayi's body.

In the howling wind and thunder, a flash of lightning illuminated the young sword immortal's face.

From then on, Yang Jiayi had only one goal in life: to become an immortal like Sui Shangshang.

Sui Shangshang went down the mountain to exterminate demons and picked up a shameless princess from a fallen kingdom. Though she was always sickly, she had no pride at all. To stay alive, she followed him around, calling him "Brother Sui" at every turn.

Sui Shangshang was so charmed by her flattery that he accepted the little princess as his junior sister on behalf of his master.

To Sui Shangshang, the little princess was an amusing straight man for his jokes, a piece of gum he couldn't shake, and a pastime he could take or leave. That is, until he took her back to the Sword Pavilion, where the supposedly shameless girl immediately clung to his master's leg and started praising someone else.

Sui Shangshang suddenly felt annoyed.
