As the eldest legitimate daughter of the foremost clan in the cultivation world, Lin Zhi was the very model of a refined young lady: she observed every propriety and was graceful, poised, and gentle.
She should have married her well-matched childhood friend, a courteous and mild-mannered young man, if two storybooks hadn't suddenly appeared in her room.
The protagonist of the first book was named Lin You. It was a melodramatic romance of torment: after the male lead killed her entire family, he deceived her into becoming his cultivation partner, and in the end, she even bore his child and lived happily with him.
Lin Zhi: "?"
What was her little sister's name again? Oh, Lin You.
The protagonist of the second book was named Lin Fang. It was a bleak tragedy. His entire family was killed from the start, and he was reduced to a slave, beaten, cursed, and abused until he lost the will to live and drowned himself in a river.
Lin Zhi: "?"
What was her little brother's name again? Oh, Lin Fang.
Lin Zhi rested her chin in her hand, thinking of her sweet, gentle little sister and her infuriating little brother, and began sharpening her knives.
No one was allowed to bully her sister. Her brother was hers alone to bully.

In her previous life, Lin You got the abandoned-wife-gets-revenge story. She became cold and ruthless, took revenge on the scumbag, and perfected the Heartless Dao, earning the world's reverence as the "Frost-Crowned Fairy." Yet in the lonely depths of night, she always remembered how her elder sister used to sneak sweets with her in the kitchen.
In his previous life, Lin Fang got the underdog-to-legend story. He fell into a river, received a master's teachings, and powered his way through life, becoming the "Supreme Immortal Lord" in the eyes of the world. Yet when autumn rain stirred his sorrow, he always remembered how his elder sister used to play in the rain with him.
Heaven does not fail those with sincere hearts. The two of them returned to a time before any of it had happened.
