The Immortal Maiden Cultivates Only the Heartless Way

[Blurb 1]

"They say the Dao Lord has a pair of discerning eyes, with a memory that never forgets a face, and can identify all the demons under heaven. Tell me, Dao Lord, do you still remember me?"

A fallen glass pendant, shattered rouge, gilded gauze, sleeves of purple cloud.

Xie Changci gazes at the white-robed immortal before him. She is someone he once cherished, and someone he personally destroyed.

But later, he hears that she crushed her own heart with her bare hands, seeking only the highest path in the world, known as the Path of Unfeeling.

[Blurb 2]

Before Sui Sui became an immortal, she had a lovely other name: "Bodhisattva Barbarian." Yet her station was low as dust.

One day, resting her chin in her hands as she gazed across the endless river, she saw a handsome young gentleman.

Later, chaos broke out in the city, and the young gentleman risked his life to protect its people.

Only then did she learn that he was the "immortal" people spoke of.

To thank her for helping him, the young gentleman granted her a wish.

She said she wanted to become an immortal.

There was nothing wrong with becoming an immortal, but Sui Sui discovered that her life had grown longer, and so had her sorrow.

On the day the Heavenly Dao was awakened, the young gentleman killed her to protect all living beings under heaven...

Her consciousness remained, questioning him every day about why he had killed her.

For three hundred years.

She hated him for three hundred years, too.

On the day Sui Sui was reborn, she gazed at the world with empty eyes and looked down on everyone. She crushed her own heart with her bare hands.

She sent her voice to every corner of heaven and earth:

"Anyone may enter my sect and become an immortal, attaining eternal life. But..."

"All who enter my sect must cultivate the Path of Unfeeling!"

When Xie Changci saw Sui Sui again, she was the sect leader of the Immortal Sect in the mortal realm, while he had become a lowly cultivator of the lowest rank.

He heard her ask if he still remembered her.

At that moment, he recalled the last time he had seen her, three hundred years ago.

That day, the river stretched into the distance beneath a moon as clear as frost. Blood poured from her chest, and tears fell one after another.

She said, "Xie Changci, I'm in so much pain."

"Please don't kill me, all right..."

He did not answer.

At the sect competition, he watched her from afar as she sat in the seat of honor, giving her disciples earnest instructions with a gentle expression.

But he could clearly read her lips.

She said, "Kill him!"
