A lofty, untouchable immortal cultivator x a female disciple who betrays her master and ancestors
Yu Qingchen, the greatest sword cultivator under heaven, lived a life of unblemished virtue. He was like an immortal descended from the heavens, a white crane among the clouds.
His greatest stain was having a traitorous disciple like Chang Wuyan under his tutelage
She betrayed the righteous path, defying all convention to practice forbidden arts.
She slaughtered her way through the immortal sects, killing hundreds of innocent people and piling up a mountain of blood debt.
She even harbored forbidden feelings for her master, Yu Qingchen. Jealous that he favored her younger sister, she drove the girl to demonic cultivation and death...
By all rights, a female demon who committed every imaginable evil like her should have met an inevitable end.
Yet, at the very moment she leaped from the Peak of Demon Slaying,
the master who had been exalted above all and revered like a god leaped after her.
He even abandoned his own life-bound sword.
What kind of person was Yu Qingchen?
He had taught her to read and write, imparted everything he knew about cultivating oneself, and even marked her height on the window frame at the end of each year. Those old marks were still there.
When her golden core shattered, he had her whipped 180 times, his voice cold as he said, "A Yao, those who cultivate immortality must serve all under heaven and set aside personal feelings. This punishment should stay with you for the rest of your life."
After she became a demon, he used his life's cultivation to save her from the Peak of Demon Slaying. He himself was left without a trace, dead with his cultivation destroyed.
He was a lofty, cold, distant flower on a high peak, the reincarnation of a spiritual pearl seen once in a thousand years, and a genius whom countless sword cultivators looked up to.
But he died.
He died a terrible death to save a traitorous disciple who had betrayed her master and ancestors.
Chang Wuyan refused to accept her fate.
But much later, after she brought him back to life with her own hands and called out "Master" in a trembling voice,
all she received in return was a gaze utterly still and utterly unfamiliar.
At that moment, she suddenly understood how fate was written: in four words, what's done cannot be undone.
A note for readers:
* This story is melodramatic, with a lofty flower falling from his pedestal. The leads suffer both emotionally and physically, but it has a happy ending! A happy ending! A happy ending!
* The heroine pursues revenge and builds her career early on, disguising herself as a harmless little rabbit. She turns dark in the middle, then redeems herself later.
* The hero is her master.
Theme: Stay true to yourself and never give up easily.
