Only on the brink of death did she learn that she was the universally hated second senior sister in a feel-good cultivation novel. She did everything she could for her fellow sect members, using a gem from the deep sea to mend her senior brother's sword, and her own spirit pearl to grow medicinal herbs for her gravely ill junior sister... But when someone framed her and she was about to have her meridians severed, not one of her fellow disciples was willing to speak up for her. All she got was a cold, "She deserves it." After cultivating for a hundred years, her life had been a joke. After her punishment, the one wisp of her soul that remained was cast into the mortal world. During the years she wandered there, she experienced all the world's warmth and cruelty. The only person willing to offer her a helping hand was a slave she had rescued from a slave market a century earlier, now a powerful minister at court: Wanqi Yuan. After learning what had happened to her, Wanqi Yuan sat in her room for a long time. Before leaving, he said, "I'll help you get the justice you deserve." Before she could see justice served, Wen Xingyao opened her eyes once more and found herself reborn a century earlier... This time, she takes up her sword and climbs to the pinnacle of cultivation to win justice for herself. - Wanqi Yuan was cursed with a slave mark. From the Demon Lord who stood above all demons, he became a slave anyone could trample. His memories were erased again and again. His pride and integrity were gradually crushed by hardship. Just as he was about to give up on himself, he met a beautiful young woman. He had just been beaten. Covered in blood, he was locked in a filthy cage, like a fallen beast. The girl standing before him was lovely and refined, her clothes spotless, completely out of place in the squalid slave market. She stared at him in the cage for a long while, then pointed to him and said to the person beside her, "I want him." Later, she gave him food and treated him with respect, doing everything she could to break the slave curse on him. Later still, he rekindled the bloodline of the Demon Lord and regained his power. He would give everything to protect her and keep her safe for a hundred lifetimes. Theme: Good people are rewarded
