After the Sect Leader Stopped Being Love-Brained

The day before her wedding, Yu Shouxin discovered that her sworn sister had put a curse on her. Despite everyone's protests, she wept and insisted on marrying her fat, big-eared fiance.

She schemed to strip her sworn sister and fiance naked, lock them together in a tiny dark room, and leave in style, planning to rebuild her life. But then she learned about all the stupid things she'd done to please her fiance, including, but not limited to: crippling her meridians and destroying her cultivation, selling off a century's worth of her sect's ancestral property, and even making her disciples perform suona music for her ex-fiance...

Abandoned by everyone, Yu Shouxin found only one disciple on the empty Mount Baize: Ning Lu, a young man with a broken leg.

Yu Shouxin had no memory of this disciple, as graceful as a jade tree, but thought it touching that he would wait for her despite his broken leg.

Yu Shouxin: For the sake of this last little seedling, I have to start over!

News of Yu Shouxin's return soon spread throughout the cultivation world, stirring up all kinds of comments:

"With her meridians completely severed, she'll never be able to cultivate again. She should just get married."

"But after a second marriage, she can't be a Daoist's principal wife. At best, she can be a concubine."

"Are you sure she was showing interest in you and not your sect's spirit-stone vault? Be careful, she might get obsessed and cry and fuss until you take responsibility for her."

"True Lord Fanghu must be senile to choose Yu Shouxin as the next sect leader. Just look at her disciple, he's skinny as a monkey. What future could he have?"

Later, Yu Shouxin reached the pinnacle of freedom with a sword as cold as frost. The powers of the Six Realms delighted in a single glimpse of her, then fought tooth and nail for another, but no one could make it up Mount Baize. A handsome young man sat at the mountain gate, shelling sunflower seeds, holding the pass against a thousand.

The crowd protested: Who are you? What gives you the right to keep us from seeing Sect Leader Yu?

Ning Lu smiled faintly, and with a flick of his finger, his sword swept across the mountains: "Because I am her sword."

#Though I first showed up at Mount Baize by accident after a failed sneak attack left me with a broken leg, being a pretty boy is great. I want to keep doing it.

#This Demon Lord chose to become a sword spirit of my own free will.
