A Peaceful World

#"I meant to buy osmanthus wine and share the journey, but it was never like those carefree days of youth."#

Before she turned fifteen, Chu Qingming was a silly girl who knew next to nothing about romance. Then, at fifteen, she suddenly fell for her celestial, jade-boned genius senior brother, Tong Shu.

Unfortunately, she was naturally slow to warm up and oblivious. After they held hands once, nothing ever came of it. Chu Qingming could only watch helplessly as her senior brother grew closer and closer to Senior Sister Ning, who was adored by everyone.

Only then did she understand: love at first sight and growing old together were stories meant for heaven's favorites and noble young ladies. They had nothing to do with a minor character like her.

So she resigned herself to her fate.

She thought she would spend her life in peace, without a ripple, but fate had a cruel joke in store for her.

It was discovered that she was half human and half demon, an abomination in the eyes of heaven and earth, and she was to be executed as a sacrifice to forge a sword.

Her master died protecting her. Her sect was slaughtered, and the senior sisters who had once doted on her all died by the sword.

Chu Qingming fell completely into darkness. Her demonic power ran wild, and she lost control, killing 140 cultivators at the Fallen Immortal Terrace.

Tong Shu was ordered to lead a group to intercept her, but she stabbed him and left him gravely wounded, stripping away half his cultivation.

Chu Qingming was about to stab him again, but pursuers were closing in. She had no choice but to abandon Tong Shu and flee in a panic. She had barely taken a few steps when misfortune struck and she ran into his master, Immortal Lord Songruo.

Chu Qingming fought with all her strength, but was no match for him. He ran her through the chest with a single sword thrust.

Immortal Lord Songruo held his sword and looked down at her, his eyes filled with hatred and contempt.

After a long silence, he spat out a cold sentence.

"The one who held your hand was the one destined for you. You were the one he loved all along."
