On a winter night when he was sixteen, Jiang Fuxue dug Xuan Qing out of a snow cave. Xuan Qing's blood had soaked through the black ice.
Xuan Qing was tall and handsome, with an exceptional constitution. A once-in-a-millennium genius.
To wake Xuan Qing, Jiang Fuxue went to great lengths to seek out spirit medicine. He damaged his spiritual roots and became an ordinary mortal.
When Xuan Qing woke, he said, "I will repay this debt for the rest of my life."
Jiang Fuxue thought spring had blossomed in the snow cave.
After they married, they hunted demons together, admired cherry blossoms, trekked through snow, and traveled across the land.
Until one day, Taichu Mountain came looking for them. It turned out Xuan Qing was to be the next sect leader of Taichu Mountain.
"Thirty-six sects in the southwest have pledged allegiance to the immortal sects. Only Lingyin is left," Xuan Qing said coldly. "I was only using you."
Heartbroken, Jiang Fuxue was imprisoned on Taichu Mountain and forbidden to leave. Day after day, he shared a bed with Xuan Qing, pretending they were a loving couple.
He couldn't understand why Xuan Qing wouldn't let him go.
Then Xuan Qing killed him with a single sword strike, and only then did he learn the truth: Xuan Qing had kept him by his side just to kill his wife and prove his Dao.

He was reborn three hundred years later.
The good news: Jiang Fuxue escaped Taichu Mountain.
The bad news: He was so beautiful that, after finally escaping a forced marriage, he was forcibly taken in as a disciple by the Hehuan Sect.
On the day he graduated, the sect leader assigned him a mission: plant a love gu in the leader of Taichu Mountain, Yan Wujie.
Jiang Fuxue: "The leader of Taichu Mountain... Yan Wujie? Xuan Qing ascended?"
The sect leader raised an eyebrow. "They say Xuan Qing's wife died unexpectedly. He was so grief-stricken that he went into seclusion for a hundred years. The day he emerged, Yan Wujie fought his way up the steps, killing one person at every step, and slaughtered everyone in Xuan Qing's line. Master and disciple fought for three days and nights. Xuan Qing was defeated and fell into demonic cultivation. Yan Wujie became the leader of Taichu Mountain."
Jiang Fuxue: "Why would Yan Wujie... kill his master?"
The sect leader gave a faint laugh. "Everyone knows Yan Wujie was infatuated with his master's wife. He killed his master just to seize her corpse."
Jiang Fuxue: The world had gone completely mad, into something he couldn't recognize.
The sect leader reassured him. "Don't worry. Yan Wujie has kept himself chaste for three hundred years. With looks like yours, he won't be able to hold out for long."

Later, Yan Wujie gripped Jiang Fuxue's slender, supple waist and easily lifted him onto the edge of the hot spring pool. Water ran down Yan Wujie's brow and dripped onto Jiang Fuxue's knee. Their wet hair tangled together in the water.
The sound of a fierce fight came from outside the door.
Yan Wujie lowered his long lashes. His distinct-knuckled fingers rested on Jiang Fuxue's knee, then slowly wandered down to toy with his ankle. "Mistress, Master still won't give up. Should I let him in?"
Jiang Fuxue's back tensed, and he instinctively glanced aside.
But the next moment, Yan Wujie buried his face against Jiang Fuxue's chest and used his sharp teeth to slowly undo the sash at his waist. His voice muffled, he said, "Mistress, don't look at him. This time, look only at me, all right?"
Jiang Fuxue: ...The one who'd kept himself chaste for three hundred years has finally stopped, but the one who can't hold out is me QAQ.

Yan Wujie was a child Jiang Fuxue and Xuan Qing had rescued while hunting demons down the mountain. He had no parents, and his entire clan had been massacred. Jiang Fuxue took him in and raised him with great care.
Before his death, Jiang Fuxue asked Xuan Qing for just one thing.
He begged Jiang Fuxue to take Yan Wujie as his disciple and protect him for the rest of his life.
Jiang Fuxue didn't know that Yan Wujie was a wolf who put away his fangs and claws only when he was with him.
