Before entering seclusion, Zhou Qingshi was the first immortal in the Three Realms to ascend.
After emerging from seclusion, she was the female sword immortal whose engagement to the Ying family had been broken off.
While she was in seclusion, her fiancé, Ying Yunhe, descended to the mortal realm to undergo trials, fell in love with a mortal woman, and insisted on breaking off his engagement to Zhou Qingshi, even if it meant dying.
The broken engagement was a small matter. Losing face was the real problem.
There was no way she was going to lose face.
Zhou Qingshi slung her long sword over her back and descended to the mortal realm to reclaim her dignity after being jilted.
The Zhou siblings sat on the Cloudwatch Terrace, gazing expectantly toward the mortal realm every day, waiting for Zhou Qingshi to grind the Ying family's jerk into dust and avenge her humiliation.
Later, Zhou Qingshi returned.
With a sword on her back and someone in her hand.
The Zhou siblings looked at their joined hands: ...What's this?
Zhou Qingshi replied calmly, "I stole Ying Yunhe's beloved."
