In an era when demons were rampant, the world's number one swordsman, who was once hailed as the most likely to reach the rank of god, suddenly disappeared one day, his aura disappeared, and there was no news at all.
Some people say that he voluntarily gave up his cultivation for the sake of a mortal woman and returned to the mortal world; others say that he cultivated to the point where he became possessed, gave birth to inner demons, and completely became a demon.
One year after the disappearance of the First Sword Cultivator, his twin brother suddenly rebelled for unknown reasons and massacred a large number of Sword Sect disciples. He was defeated and seriously injured by the Sword Sect leader and fled in hiding.
Half a year later in Bailing Mountain, a female disciple of the Medical Cultivation Sect saw the traitor of the Sword Sect in the back mountain with scars and a high fever.
After she rescued the boy, when the man opened his eyes, he wanted to kill the defenseless girl, but instead he saw the girl crying.
His murderous intention started to go wrong every step of the way from that moment of hesitation.
Later that night, at the foot of Bailing Mountain, the man sat alone at the bottom of the stone steps, bathing in the pattering rain, his head lowered and silent.
His black hair was wet from the rain, dripping down his chin.
He looked at the girl standing not far from him, her white clothes that were not stained by dust and smoke were already covered in mud.
Just like him.
He said, "Is it all fake?"
The girl said, "It's all fake."
She looked at him without blinking, clenched her hands tightly, and her nails scratched her delicate palms until blood dripped.
How could she hide the extreme choking in her voice.
It would be nice if the rain could be heavier.
"That tear is nothing."
Until the peaceful and prosperous times long after, men have been looking for the girl.
He thought over and over again whether the decision he made that day was correct. Maybe he shouldn't have done that.
But it was too late, his heart had been trapped by the collar, and he would never be free again in this life.
"Love is a curse."
The girl kissed him, making these words become his lifelong demon.
"So love will never be destroyed."
