Ye Qingying pulls the wounded young Immortal Venerable from the mud, looking at him with sympathy. She cares for him tenderly, brings him into her sect, and accompanies him into secret realms.
When he is poisoned by a snake, she overcomes her feminine modesty and kisses him first.
The night before their Daoist ceremony, she and her junior sister fall into danger and are poisoned by a demon cultivator. If they don't get the antidote, they'll die within five breaths.
The demon cultivator tosses out a single antidote and laughs madly as he asks Shen Zhufeng, “Only one of them can live. Who do you choose?”
Shen Zhufeng's eyes turn bloodshot. He doesn't dare meet her gaze, and trembling, he puts the antidote into his junior sister's mouth. “Yingying, my junior sister is frail.”
Ye Qingying shudders, heartbroken.
That day, Haoyang Sect is in danger.
Ye Qingying forges a sword with her blood, sacrifices herself to power the formation, and slays tens of thousands of demonic cultivators with a single strike, repaying her sect's kindness once and for all.
When Shen Zhufeng calls her “Yingying” in a hoarse voice, his eyes full of relief, she smiles faintly. In front of him and everyone in her sect, she leaps off the Ruthless Cliff, severing all ties.
Later, Shen Zhufeng's hair turns white overnight. He searches beneath the Ruthless Cliff for seven years, but never finds Ye Qingying's bones.
Later still...
During the clash between the righteous and demonic factions,
Shen Zhufeng discovers that the cool, desireless Buddhist master of Vajra Sect,
the peerless genius of Tianyi Sect who cultivates the Ruthless Dao,
the guardian divine beast of the Beast Taming Sect,
and the young sect leader of the Pill Sect...
Are all searching for a woman named “Yingying.”
Across a vast chasm, Ye Qingying, senior sister of the Hehuan Sect, reclines on a soft bed in a fragrant carriage draped with red gauze. Her slender, pale fingers pick up a grape and place it in her mouth.
Mmm...
Today is another wonderfully comfortable day.
Reader's Guide:
1. The female lead is a cultivator of the Hehuan Sect and a player. All romance is for cultivation. After cultivating with one peerless genius, she fakes her death and disappears. She may ultimately end up alone.
2. The men are sexually inexperienced, but the woman is not. The female lead will have quite a few boyfriends.
