Xi Yu was entrusted with a child on his deathbed. She took in seven-year-old Mu Chenyu as her disciple and founded a sect in Peach Blossom Valley.
She had planned to wait until Mu Chenyu passed away a hundred years later, then return to the Heavenly Realm and reclaim her place among the immortals.
But things took a turn when Mu Chenyu was thirteen.
By chance, Xi Yu came across a storybook. Though she was cold and aloof, she found herself engrossed in it. One of the female supporting characters shared her full name, but before long, she was killed by the heroine's sword.
Xi Yu was a phoenix who had died and come back to life. Having lived too long, she wanted nothing more than to die.
After finding the storybook, she had something to look forward to in her lifeless existence:
She looked forward every day to being killed by the heroine.
So Xi Yu followed the storybook's plot step by step, making sure the story unfolded as written.
At long last, the day she'd been waiting for arrived. Just as she was about to die and have her soul dispersed, the young heroine was killed with a single sword by the male lead, who had gone off-script.
That male lead was her beloved disciple, and she knew it. She knew the heroine had convinced her beloved disciple to kill her together. She knew everything.
What she didn't know was that her beloved disciple had a storybook exactly like hers.
Ten years ago, the Mu family, the greatest family in the Thirteen Provinces of Canghai, was wiped out in a supposed natural disaster. Only Mu Chenyu, their orphaned survivor, remained.
A delicate hand rescued him from the vast sea of flames when he was seven. From then on, Mu Chenyu acknowledged only Xi Yu.
Xi Yu spent three years in seclusion. He spent three years traveling the world below the mountain. No one knew what he went through. When he returned, all he brought back was a secret book. It contained no spells or martial arts, only stories.
After enduring countless hardships, Mu Chenyu finally uncovered the truth: the Mu family massacre had not been a natural disaster, but a man-made calamity. And the master he had always thought of as his savior had stood by and done nothing on the day his family was slaughtered.
Only then did Mu Chenyu realize the storybook was telling the truth. He was born a demon seed, destined to shake the heavens and destroy the world.
As Xi Yu lay dying, he regretted everything.
He held the phoenix egg day and night, pouring his spiritual energy into it. After she was reborn from the ashes, he would make her his own Yu Yu.
His alone, forever and ever.
A powerful, aloof female master & a beautiful, strong, tragic male disciple who is both puppy-like and wolfish
The original heroine is not actually killed by the male lead, but she does many terrible things early on.
The male and female leads are devoted to each other in body and soul, and the ending is happy.
