Lin Jingzhuo was once the revered Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm. She had it all: power, cultivation, and stunning looks.
When she went undercover in the Immortal Realm, she hadn't expected to suppress her cultivation so severely that the ruler of an entire realm would nearly end up in the awkward position of having no master willing to take her.
Just as she was at a loss, Lin Jingzhuo spotted a beautiful elder in a fox-fur cloak beneath a towering pine.
The beautiful elder had a pair of captivating, limpid fox eyes. Frail and pale as a sheet, she unexpectedly met Lin Jingzhuo's gaze.
"No one wants you either?"
"No one wants you either?"
At last, with a beautiful master, she was no longer an unwanted stray disciple.
Later, Lin Jingzhuo discovered that her sickly master was an absolute handful.
Too frail and ill to fight, too inarticulate to defend herself from insults, too weak in the stomach to eat anything but Lin Jingzhuo's cooking, and so cold in her hands and feet that only Lin Jingzhuo could warm her bedding.
Lin Jingzhuo was run off her feet in the Immortal Realm.
She was busy killing people for her master, cooking for her, and warming her bed.
The Demon Realm's elder Shui Jing had worn out countless mirrors before finally reaching their venerable lord.
Lin Jingzhuo replied while stir-frying a dish for her master:
"Pretending to be head over heels for her is just part of my plan. That's enough, I have everything under control. I'm hanging up."
Shui Jing did not hang up.
The people of the Demon Realm heard their mighty, awe-inspiring Demon Venerable speak in a sweet, affected voice: "Master, dinner's ready~"
The elder: "?"
Their hanging hearts finally gave out.

Later, when master and disciple became enemies, her frail master held the Demon-Slaying Sword, weighing tens of thousands of jin, to her throat. Blood stained the white fox-fur cloak.
Lin Jingzhuo's heart meridians were shattered, but she still insisted on stepping closer. "Did you ever love me, even a little?"
The Immortal Realm's Sword Venerable, who had once been pinned beneath her and tearfully begged her to stop, looked utterly indifferent.
"Never."
