Everyone at the mountain sect regards Ye Jinghuai as an otherworldly immortal, but only Ye Qingge knows that her master is an utterly devoted disciple-spoiler.
"Master, drinking is forbidden at the sect."
Ye Qingge looked at the cup of pear-blossom wine held out to her. She solemnly said the words as she took it and drank. Its sweet, refreshing taste brought a contented smile to her face.
"Master, meat is forbidden at the sect."
Ye Qingge gazed at the table covered with chicken, duck, and fish. She sniffed excitedly, her eyes sparkling. Good food really was the most delightful thing.
"Master, cheating on exams is forbidden at the sect."
Ye Qingge followed her master, eating the fruit he had prepared for her while picking up the spirit beasts he had slain.
With her biased master looking after her, young Ye Qingge grew up carefree, becoming the envy of everyone at the mountain sect.
But all that happiness was shattered to pieces by the blinding light that shot into the sky that day.
That immortal-like person fell, without a sound or a trace. Even their name became taboo, and no one dared speak of it.
Ye Qingge remained beneath the pear tree in full bloom, waiting for her master, waiting for the way home that belonged to her.
An unexpected trip down the mountain unlocked sealed memories, leaving Ye Qingge bewildered. Had Ye Jinghuai truly been kind to her, or had she only been a substitute for someone else?
And why had that immortal-like person gone down the path of evil? Had they lost their original self, or was there some other reason?
As the mist clears, all these questions will find their answers, and the way home will finally come into view.
