A Li was a gentle, obedient girl, while Xu Zhuo was a strikingly handsome young man. Childhood sweethearts, they had been engaged since they were young.
If nothing went wrong, A Li would become Xu Zhuo's most cherished wife. But their relationship was interrupted by the stunningly beautiful eldest senior sister.
A Li knew she couldn't misunderstand Xu Zhuo or blame the eldest senior sister. After all, Xu Zhuo had been the only one who could cure the poison of passion afflicting her that day.
Xu Zhuo promised A Li that he would have nothing more to do with the eldest senior sister. A Li believed him.
Then came the day of the sect tournament. The winner would get to enter the forbidden grounds and choose a manual from the sect's collection. Xu Zhuo was on the verge of becoming the sect's champion, but he threw the match, losing to the eldest senior sister by a mile.
Wanting Xu Zhuo to rise even higher, A Li challenged the eldest senior sister herself and narrowly won, giving Xu Zhuo the chance to enter the forbidden grounds.
But he turned around and gave the opportunity to the eldest senior sister, saying to A Li, "She needs it more than we do."
A Li accepted it.
But the secret art the eldest senior sister chose was a yin cultivation technique that aided dual cultivation. Xu Zhuo was badly injured, and the eldest senior sister insisted on using dual cultivation to heal him. A Li objected, only to be criticized by everyone for being ungenerous.
Before dual cultivating with the eldest senior sister, Xu Zhuo promised once more, "A Li, just this once."
That night, thunder and rain raged until dawn. A Li stood in the rain, waiting for Xu Zhuo to emerge from the secret cave. Seeing the strange allure in his usually cool brows, A Li decided to let go.
"Xu Zhuo, let's end things here."
As she returned their engagement token, she saw the warmth gradually fade from Xu Zhuo's face, leaving him deathly pale.
As A Li turned to leave, the System sounded an alert. "Host, are you really giving up on winning over the male lead?"
Her red lips curled into a smile. "Since I'm the Host, the center of this world, then I get to decide who's the male lead!"
Then her gaze fell on her perfectly ordinary junior brother. "I think this junior brother would be easy to win over."
The junior brother, who appeared perfectly ordinary but was secretly a mighty Demon Lord, lay flat. Bring it on.
