Su Xumo is exceptionally gifted, but an accident when he was young turned him into a carefree cynic.
When he goes to study at Taiyi, he is assigned to share a room with Suhe Yuran, a person despised by everyone. He discovers that Suhe Yuran is nothing like the wretched person people make him out to be. In fact, he's quite unusual.
Suhe Yuran is far more unusual than he appears. He has too many secrets. As the bond between the two grows closer, those secrets draw them into great danger, turning them from heaven's favored into sinners condemned by all.
Even with infamy weighing on their shoulders, they have to keep moving forward.
In truth, their lives were intertwined long ago. But fate is unpredictable.

[Early chapters: daily cultivation and leveling up by fighting monsters. Later, they face the world's hardships and save all living beings.]
Chapters 1-9: Daily cultivation. Skim these if you find the pacing slow.
Chapters 10-21: Descend the mountain to exterminate demons. Important plot points.
Chapters 22-26: The leads' romance and the end of their cultivation.
Chapters 27-33: New characters and plot related to the main storyline.
Major disaster begins after Chapter 34.
(This author's terrible at writing blurbs, so here's a plot outline instead.)
Note:
1. There will be some clichéd, melodramatic plot twists!
2. Ensemble cast with many characters. The setup is slow at first, but each character has their own story.
3. As for whether it's a happy or sad ending, all I can say is that the leads end up together.
4. Top and bottom refer only to the story's point of view.
Theme: Eternity is but an instant. Cherish the present.
This is be, right?
