In the story of "the white moonlight gets abandoned, and the replacement successfully takes their place," Gu Liuqian is the white moonlight herself.
Other white moonlights bury their hatred deep in their hearts, make their own way, and vow to reclaim everything that belongs to them.
Gu Liuqian, backed by powerful allies and favored by the Heavenly Dao: Why take anything back? It's not like it was worth having.
So she severed her ties, left her sect, and decisively set off for distant lands. Even when her sect was later wiped out and her father, the sect leader, wept and begged her to save him, she never looked back.
As she roamed the world with her sword, Gu Liuqian vowed to cut off the false Heavenly Dao's dog head and become famous for generations to come.
In reality, while the powerful one fought enemies on the battlefield, she sat idly in his sea of consciousness with the little Heavenly Dao, snacking on sunflower seeds as they watched a screen.
Gu Liuqian: "This show is boring. I want to watch that forbidden romance between the master and disciple from last time."
Little Heavenly Dao: "Maybe not. The heroine isn't interesting after she turns evil. Isn't the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama here more exciting?"
Gu Liuqian: "What a weird thing to be into."
The powerful one, finally at the end of his patience: "The enemy's dead. Get out."

[The powerful one's point of view]
Qi Huizhou had glimpsed the path to ascension three times, but the Heavenly Dao feared him and repeatedly clipped his wings. Unable to kill him, it trapped him in an abyss without daylight. Then one day, he saw Gu Liuqian stride toward him with her sword, shattering the formation.
He traded a sword for a way out, and bound the fiercely wary girl to him with a life-and-death pact.
After learning that the Heavenly Dao was false, he no longer intended to ascend.
He intended to become the Heavenly Dao.
There was only one life-bound sword, and two people shared one mortal body. Whoever wielded the sword stood side by side with the other.
"You practice the sword, and I fall for you."
A calm, sharp-tongued, violent little demoness and a proud big shot who's all bluster but soft at heart
Theme: Even when surrounded on all sides, they never strayed from their path. With an unwavering will, they could keep moving forward.
