Female lead: A gentle blade who cultivates the path of ruthless detachment x the simps she cuts down
-
One day, the conquerors are suddenly told that if they can conquer Sheng Qing, they'll get everything they want.
Countless conquerors swarm in, each hoping to claim the honor for themselves.
Sheng Qing suddenly realizes that everyone around her has started acting strangely.
Her fiance, who bears a deep blood feud, originally comes to break off their engagement. But one rainy night, he stands in the courtyard and hoarsely apologizes, saying he can't give her happiness.
Sheng Qing forgives him and has her family take him in, since he has nowhere else to go. From then on, he becomes the sharpest sword at her side and the person she trusts most.
Her spoiled, willful junior disciple fears nothing, but one day he shows up at her door, covered in wounds. His gaze is fierce, yet he looks like a wounded little beast, impossible not to pity.
Sheng Qing takes him in and cares for him devotedly. From then on, everyone in their sect knows the junior disciple only listens to her.
The frail young woman she takes in can barely lift a finger, yet when danger strikes, she puts herself in harm's way and nearly gives her life for Sheng Qing. Afterwards, she calmly says, "My life isn't worth much."
Sheng Qing searches heaven and earth to find her the world's rarest treasures, helps her recover from her injuries, and teaches her to follow the righteous path, until no one dares look down on her again. The girl still leans against Sheng Qing's shoulder, relying on her as she quietly lists her troubles.
Things like this keep happening around Sheng Qing. She has never refused anyone who asks her for help. She personally pulls them out of the mire and dresses them in fine clothes.
Just as all the conquerors are convinced that Sheng Qing must be madly in love with them, they discover that their mission progress bars have suddenly reset to zero.
"Error detected. Verification failed. The issue has now been fixed. The Host's affection score toward the target is, 0."
Everyone stares in disbelief at Sheng Qing, who is stroking a flower in the sunlight.
Only then do they realize that Sheng Qing looks at them no differently than she looks at the flowers.
And what makes them despair even more is that she has been cultivating the path of ruthless detachment all along.
Everyone knows that Sheng Qing's Dao heart is steadfast and has never once wavered.
"I was overwhelmed with guilt, suffering over my deception, when I discovered that she had never loved me."
Note:
1. Every character has an extremely one-sided crush. The female lead really has cultivated the path of ruthless detachment.
2. There are male and female side characters, who have romantic or platonic feelings for the female lead. The female lead has no feelings.
3. A melodramatic healing story (?)
4. Some side characters transmigrate into a book. The female lead is native to the world.
