Qi Qianqiu transmigrated one day into an ancient cultivation novel full of tragic romance, becoming its heroine, who shared her name. From the start, she was in the middle of being framed and made to kneel for hours. Snow and ice battered her, frost clung to her lashes, and Qi Qianqiu nearly died all over again.
An unidentified voice spoke gently through the blizzard: "Move [beep] to compassion, and you can have one wish granted."
...It even got censored.

Who could a kind, adorable, sweet little flower, aka the heroine of a tragic romance, move to compassion?
Naturally, the people who torment her.
Qi Qianqiu had a sudden flash of inspiration (and deliberately misinterpreted it) and made a grand wish: to become invincible under heaven.
So she went into seclusion to cultivate. When she came out, she pinned the male leads who were supposed to be caught up in a tragic romance with the original heroine to the ground and beat them up, one after another.
Some unknown voice: "...Hey!"

They say that a thousand years ago, the cultivation world had a peerlessly talented genius, a master of swordsmanship, alchemy, talismans, and formations. One day he became a demon, betrayed his sect, and was hunted to the Blood Sea Abyss. Five years later, he returned drenched in blood, slaughtered his way through the cultivation world, then claimed a territory of his own and vanished without a trace.
As time passed, he became the unspeakable one of the cultivation world, its "you know who."
They say he was sinister and ruthless, merciless, and guilty of every evil under the sun, taking pleasure in murder.
But Qi Qianqiu only knew him as a background character in the novel.
Standing on the original male lead, aka the genius the novel praised to the skies, Qi Qianqiu thought, I have to find a way to meet that genius from a thousand years ago.

After transmigrating, Yue Guanshan returned to the cultivation world a thousand years later and got lost in the mountains.
So he asked for directions.
The kind passerby was a dashing female cultivator, standing on a defeated opponent and inviting him to ask away.
Yue Guanshan asked, "Fellow Daoist, which way is Wujimen?"
Qi Qianqiu blurted out, "Take Chenghua Avenue."
Yue Guanshan ventured, "...I'm going to Wujimen, not Erxian Bridge."
Their gazes met. They both sensed that something was amiss.
04.
Everyone was young once, and Yue Guanshan had also dreamed of facing a lonely figure on a cold river, sword in hand, roaming the world.
He'd once had the chance to live that dream.
With everyone turning against him, Yue Guanshan crossed a sea of corpses and became a demon god. No one knew that he had once been a dashing young man, or that he'd once considered the whole world his responsibility.
Until Qi Qianqiu appeared before him.
The light of day broke bright.
