One day, the Sword God Qi Huaizhuo awakens and realizes with a shock that he has transmigrated into a book.
The protagonists are his two junior disciples. His eldest disciple is the villain who loves but cannot have them, and the three of them are tangled in a centuries-long web of love and hatred that ultimately ends in betrayal.
The eldest disciple has the worst fate of all: after witnessing her junior brother and sister fall in love, she falls into a demonic lair and dies without a whole corpse!
As for him, her master, he spends the entire plot in seclusion!
This time, he comes out of seclusion early, only to discover that he's still too late. Romance is already blossoming between his second and third disciples, while his eldest disciple grows colder by the day.

With no plan in sight, he decides to keep his eldest disciple away from the tragic romance of the male and female leads and teach her to focus on cultivation.
He summons his eldest disciple and says earnestly, "Nianqi, today I want to teach you something."
Xie Nianqi gives a cool nod.
Qi Huaizhuo says solemnly, "The wise do not fall in love."
Xie Nianqi: ?
"The single man breaks through every obstacle!" Qi Huaizhuo says gravely. "Disciple, don't lose yourself in love. Let go of your second senior brother."
Xie Nianqi, who only wants to make her master hers: "...What?"
Years later, Qi Huaizhuo is left speechless after his disciple oversteps her bounds.
The original story has wronged him terribly!
