[Carefree, amnesiac sword spirit x fallen demon Immortal Venerable who talks himself into it]

After the war between immortals and demons, the Languang Sword was planted in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to suppress the remnants of the demon race. Its sword spirit, Zhao Liyou, took human form and left the sword. When her spiritual power was nearly exhausted, she returned, only to find the Languang Sword gone.

Zhao Liyou searched everywhere and sensed it in the medicinal pool. She plunged into the water to feel around, only to run into the fallen demon Immortal Venerable Yue Hanxiao.

Unable to survive apart from the Languang Sword, Zhao Liyou hid her identity as its spirit and clung to Yue Hanxiao. Unfortunately, he loved swords so much that he always kept one close at hand. To stay alive, she did everything she could to get close to him.

Yue Hanxiao confided in the Languang Sword, not knowing its spirit could hear him. He lovingly stroked its scabbard, not knowing its spirit could feel it.

Until one day, as he fiddled with the Languang Sword, he muttered, "She always tries to take advantage of me. She must be after my looks, right?"

He even drew the sword and admired his peerless beauty reflected in its blade, resting his right hand on it as if to stroke it gently.

He had no idea that the blushing, heart-pounding sword spirit was screaming inside, "Stop! Don't touch it! Who would be after your looks? I just want to cuddle up to your sword!"

After finding a way to return to the sword, Zhao Liyou disappeared for a long time. When she showed up again, she seemed to have changed completely and no longer clung to him.

Yue Hanxiao finally understood that she had no place for him in her heart.

As he struggled on the brink of falling to the demonic path, he said, "I know you came here for the Languang Sword. Take it and go."

But she kissed him to silence him, only asking much later, "What about now? Do you still want me to leave?"

#Ahem, a look at how the male lead's words and actions change#

At first: "Zhao Liyou, let go."

"Zhao Liyou, look up."

Then: "Zhao Liyou, don't touch me."

Later: "Zhao Liyou, hold me."

And later still: "Zhao Liyou, Zhao Liyou, Zhao Liyou..."

How do I restrain this love for you that I try so hard to hide, even though I know it will hurt me?

Reading Guide:

1. No one knew the sword spirit had taken human form at first. She was clingy with the male lead from the moment they met, but later lost her memory in an accident. What she thinks is their "first meeting" is actually a reunion.

2. The male lead does not fall to the demonic path at first and keeps himself under control, but he will lose control later.

3. Both are each other's first, 1v1, happy ending.

4. The cover uses a template purchased from an artist, so it isn't unique.

Senior Brother Insists We Swear an Oath of Life and Death

[Past life: Heterochromatic-eyed princess walking on thin ice x aloof celestial master burdened by hatred] [Present life: Naive junior sister who struggles to understand love x senior brother, a gambler whose love goes unreturned]

The whole world believes the celestial master's prophecy: a heterochromatic-eyed girl will disrupt the nation's fate and bring chaos to the world. The celestial master's lifelong mission is to find her, punish her, and eliminate her.

Unfortunately, I was born "blind," and I am the heterochromatic-eyed girl he has been searching for all along. I was wary of him, deceived him, and used him, hoping he would fall in love with me before he discovered my identity. That way, perhaps I could live long enough to atone for my sins.

Celestial masters are always heartless. Or perhaps my schemes were too clumsy to soften his heart or move him. Later, I was chosen as a princess to be married off for an alliance. He could have said no, but he never tried to stop me.

The heavens are cruelly amusing. The day I left was destined to be the day I died. Fortunately, I was ready to atone with my life.

A heartless celestial master is suited for ascension. I no longer have any attachment to him, though I do hope his path to immortality goes smoothly. Surely he will soon forget me, too.

In the great hall, I removed my veil and opened my eyes in public for the first time, revealing their unusual colors. As everyone stared in horror, I pulled the crane-shaped hairpin from my hair and stabbed myself in the side of the neck.

Amid the dazzling flow of blood, I looked at the celestial master with my heterochromatic eyes. "Why are you surprised, Celestial Master? I'm only granting you your wish."

He really must have hated me. Why else would he look so terrifying?

The mortal world was too bitter, and I wanted no next life. But whether out of pity or mockery, fate made me live again. I forgot my past, severed my ties to love, and became a new junior sister in a cultivation sect.

My fellow disciples said the senior brother was heaven's favored child: solitary, flawless, and untouchable.

But he was so kind to me that I couldn't accept his kindness without returning it, so I repaid him in kind.

Sometimes I couldn't understand his behavior, especially when dark currents stirred in his eyes and the danger beneath his gentle facade was impossible to miss. I secretly wondered if he was hiding some unspeakable secret from me.

I didn't understand love, but my senior brother patiently told me it was all right, and that he would teach me.

I practiced with someone else, and for the first time, he got angry with me.

He said, "I'm teaching you how to love, not so you can go love someone else."

Only after I split open this flawless jade did I discover that, despite its pure and unblemished surface, it was covered in wounds and spattered with blood within.

Senior Brother's Perspective:

The day I reunited with her, I was afraid she had forgotten me, and afraid she still remembered me.

No one knows what I had to give up to bring her back to life.

I wagered that she would fall in love with me again. If I won, I could keep living.

I thought I could never lose, but she calmly asked me:

Senior Brother, what is love?
