Ye Shuang was a notorious demoness who had fought Yu Tingxue for decades. During a deadly battle atop the Peak of Doom, she was ambushed and struck by a love-insect curse. Meanwhile, lured into her trap, Yu Tingxue was blasted by the Demon-Slaying Array until he was battered and blackened.
The once pure and aloof Daoist Venerable Wangxue, who had kept everyone at arm's length, was now unconscious and at her mercy.
Ye Shuang had no choice but to use him to break the curse.
To her dismay, all her cultivation was drained away.
Furious, Ye Shuang decided on the spot to send the icy Daoist Venerable to his grave.
But before her dagger could fall, he woke up.
The young man opened his eyes, his gaze innocent. "Who are you, miss?"
He had lost his memory.
Perfect. She changed her mind.
She softened her voice and mustered a look of sorrowful concern. "We are cultivation partners. We were chased here, and you were gravely wounded. I used dual cultivation to save you, and lost all my cultivation in the process. You can't abandon me. You have to help me get revenge."

Ye Shuang thought that with a righteous Daoist Immortal as her weapon, she would be invincible and send those righteous cultivators running for cover.
But every day, Yu Tingxue lectured her: killing was wrong, practicing demonic arts was wrong, and she should leave everything to him...
She'd tricked herself into getting a cultivation partner, not a monk.
Ye Shuang held her tongue again and again, until she couldn't take it anymore. She silenced him with a kiss and gritted out, "Shut up."
The young man's earlobes turned faintly red. After a moment of silence, he leaned closer. "All right. Kiss me one more time, and I'll be quiet."
In the end, to get herself such a useful weapon, she wound up losing her own heart, too.

When Yu Tingxue was young, his sword meridians were damaged and his family cast him aside. The once-gifted prodigy fell into ruin, with no will left to live.
At the end of his rope, a steadfast young girl grabbed his wrist and threatened him through clenched teeth. "You are not allowed to die!"
Years later, he saw through the Great Dao and became Daoist Venerable Wangxue, only to learn that the girl from back then had become the demoness terrorizing the Central Continent.
She pointed her sword at him and laughed arrogantly. "Daoist Venerable Wangxue, don't get in my way."
She had forgotten him.

An overpowered, emotionally clueless demoness
A pure and aloof, naturally devious, doting Daoist Immortal with a hopeless romantic streak
1. The heroine's name may change. I'll come up with a better one later.
2. A sweet romance focused on the relationship, not a strong heroine. At heart, it's a love story.
