Yin Changyang is the closed-door disciple of the head of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. From childhood on, his life has made him the perfect foil to his senior brother, He Shuxing.
He is a peerless cultivation genius, yet his senior brother is their master's foremost disciple and the universally acknowledged next sect leader. He is gloomy and taciturn, bad at socializing, while his senior brother is as rare and lovely as an udumbara on a snowy mountain, with the bearing of an immortal.
Whenever his senior brother appears, Yin Changyang goes from the moon in the clouds to dirt beneath someone's feet. Even the person Yin Changyang loves is devoted entirely to his senior brother.
Then one day, his senior brother loses his soul while adventuring abroad. The sect's soul lamp still burns, but the only thing they manage to bring back is his body, which lies in an endless sleep.
Without his point of comparison, Yin Changyang finally lets his own light shine again. He becomes everyone's second choice.
But an unconscious beloved is invincible. Someone preserved in memory rises above all others, and Yin Changyang remains prostrate in the darkness, where an insidious, shameful "inner demon" slowly takes root.
His inner demon is his senior brother. It even takes on a physical form, wearing his senior brother's face.
The inner demon torments Yin Changyang day and night, tempting him, comforting him, blinding him, devouring him, driving him to madness.
The inner demon says that if his sleeping beloved is invincible, then they should find a way to wake him and let the world see his filthy true face.
Yin Changyang takes the secret art passed on to him by his inner demon. By offering an object carried by the person he seeks, he can track down that person's soul.
The instant the formation lights up, the inner demon kisses Yin Changyang. Amid a dizzying whirl, the inner demon takes his hand and pushes his senior brother's body into the center of the formation.
Offering his own flesh and blood, Yin Changyang successfully summons his senior brother's soul, but also destroys his body.
A pale, chilling soul slowly appears. The man, now a ghost cultivator, takes Yin Changyang's hand and presses it to his lips. In a voice exactly like the inner demon's, he smiles with gentle beauty:
"You destroyed my body. That is a crime, and you should be punished. But you are not afraid, because you have never truly looked at me. You have no heart."

● The inner demon is the senior brother in disguise.

① A melodramatic tale of love and resentment. Neither the top nor the bottom is a flawless good person.
② As the blurb says, at first the bottom loves the second male lead, while the second male lead loves the top. A triangle is the most stable structure, and later the second male lead will fall for the bottom.
Coming soon: After Killing My Dao Companion Four Times
Jiang Fengyu is a heretic cultivator, and the path he practices is as unorthodox as they come: the Path of Dying for Love.
Unlike the ordinary paths of affection or dispassion, the Path of Dying for Love requires one to discern the will to die within love, then achieve rebirth through death. The more times one dies, the stronger one becomes.
To attain the Great Dao, Jiang Fengyu travels far and wide, meeting four Dao companions along the way.
The first is the most outstanding cultivation genius in the Sword Sect. He has heard that sword cultivators who practice the path of dispassion are the most likely to kill their wives to prove their Dao. To avoid dying before his partner, Jiang Fengyu strikes first, running his sword straight through the sword cultivator who is protecting him in a life-or-death trial.
The second is the lord of the demon realm, whose true form is a sleek, glossy-furred mist leopard. Jiang Fengyu once rested his head every night on the other's soft, vulnerable belly. In the end, he uses a spiritual blade to cut him open and take his core.
The third is a Buddhist sage. He leaves the order and returns to secular life for Jiang Fengyu, transforming from a widely praised holy monk into a notorious man of the world. Even Jiang Fengyu feels sorry for what he has been through, so he waits until their wedding night to poison him with a lethal cup of nuptial wine.
The fourth is a revered demon cultivator. By then, Jiang Fengyu is only one step away from ascension. He begins to feel an overwhelming weariness, and even his favorite tricks for manipulating people's hearts no longer interest him.
He approaches the revered demon cultivator with "I'm a spy" written plainly across his face, making no attempt to hide that he is an undercover agent sent by the righteous sects.
Either he can complete one last death for love and ascend in a single leap, or the furious lord will kill him outright and destroy his soul. With this thrilling gamble in mind, Jiang Fengyu openly displays his treasonous intentions.
But everything goes far more smoothly than he could have imagined. The lord turns a blind eye to all his betrayals.
What a blind fool, Jiang Fengyu thinks.
After killing the lord, Jiang Fengyu completes his final death for love. He closes his eyes, knowing that when he next wakes, the Heavenly Gate from the Immortal Realm will open for him.
But when he wakes again, he finds himself lying in an ice coffin.
Jiang Fengyu is utterly bewildered. He tries to climb out, only to discover that his limbs have long been bound fast with chains.
A man he has never met stands outside the coffin. Above the man's head is the Gate to Heaven, and beyond it, immortals ride phoenixes, their robes glowing like rosy clouds as cranes circle them.
Jiang Fengyu stares, dazed, but cannot break free of his chains or enter the Gate. He can only watch as it slowly closes before his eyes.
In the darkness, the man takes hold of the chain around his wrist and gives it a gentle shake, making it ring clearly.
The man bends down and kisses Jiang Fengyu's forehead tenderly.
"A-Yu, you wicked, thoroughly deceitful liar think you can ascend to immortality?"

● The main story begins with the third vignette.
The top is an immortal lord who descended to undergo a trial of love, only to be killed four times by his beloved. After being killed over and over, his mental state completely collapses, and he becomes a fallen immortal.
Each time, the top only remembers the earlier vignettes just before he dies. The fourth vignette is different: after dying three times, the seal is repeatedly battered, and he gradually regains all his memories while still alive.
Theme: Imperfect people clumsily learning to love.
Pre-released article: "The bamboo horse is extremely malicious towards me" Lu Tuoyun has an unknown secret. Everyone who appears in his field of vision will have a number above their head. That number represents the danger index, from one to ten, which intuitively and clearly shows the degree of malice the other party has towards him. The number for the father who angrily scolds him is eight; for the classmate who shoves him maliciously, the number is ten. Lu Tuoyun was extremely careful, following these numbers and a little intuition to survive in the cracks of life. Lu Tuoyun only told this secret to one person - when his mother was working as a nanny for the Shen family, the young master of the Shen family was his only friend. The other party always thought he was stupid and called him "Camel" sternly. But later, a murder occurred in the Shen family, and the young master also disappeared mysteriously. Lu Tuoyun moved out of the city with his mother, and many years passed by. When he met the young master again at school, he was standing in the shade of a tree, with a pale face and dark eyes. He smiled lightly at him: "Camel, long time no see." However, Lu Tuoyun couldn't help but take a step back, alarm bells blaring in his heart, because he saw - the bright red "∞" on the other side's head was eye-catching. Lu Tuoyun never knew that the person he was looking for frantically had been buried under the flower tree outside his window. "Possession is the most dangerous personal relationship. ①. If someone is attacked and killed, he is no longer a human being. ②.∞ Represents infinity.
