In his previous life, Chu Guigen pursued Shen Qing, the protagonist's nephew, and went so far as to hurt his senior sect brother and leave his sect to elope with Shen Qing. Shen Qing knows that in this life he has no chance with Shen Yeluo. On the advice of a sage, he sets up an immortal array, then has a living person with powerful spiritual energy provide him with spiritual energy. This will allow him to pursue his uncle again in his next life. The stronger the spiritual energy, the greater his destined bond with Shen Yeluo in the next life.
As for why Chu Guigen falls for Shen Qing: when he was young, a great fire swept through his home. It was clearly a demon's fire, and an immortal saved him. The immortal left behind a jade pendant. When Chu Guigen grew up, he searched everywhere and learned that the jade came from the Shen family. So he became a disciple of the Shen family's immortal sect, where he met Shen Qing. Seeing the jade pendant at Shen Qing's waist, he asked about it. Looking at Shen Qing's lovely, bright eyes, he fell deeper and deeper, thinking: The person who saved me must have been from the Shen family anyway. Shen Qing is so wonderful, so why not repay him with my hand in marriage? Later, he became Shen Yeluo's disciple. The moment Shen Yeluo saw Chu Guigen, he was captivated. Seeing Chu Guigen's mischievous nature, he realized he'd fallen for him...
