After Faking My Death, My Senior Sister Regretted It

(Chasing-the-wife arc / playboy turns over a new leaf)

Though born mortal, Chen Guomo is exceptionally gifted. Alone and newly arrived at the immortal mountain, she is tricked into joining the Hehuan Sect.

After the sect leader Fang Yuhua ascends to immortality, eldest senior sister Xie Zugu takes charge of the sect's affairs. As the sect leader's direct disciple, Xie Zugu has excellent talent and an unwavering Daoist heart. Everyone agrees she is the sect's most likely candidate to ascend next.

Chen Guomo soon learns the truth: the Hehuan Sect is no orthodox place to cultivate the Dao, and it is not right for her.

But Xie Zugu calls her "dear"...

She says only the most intimate of lovers call each other that. Chen Guomo has never experienced love. She is naturally reserved, yet every time Xie Zugu calls her "dear," her face turns red with embarrassment.

At the time, Xie Zugu was peerlessly beautiful and unmatched in cultivation, at the height of her confidence and glory. Her pair of peach-blossom eyes were especially bewitching. Chen Guomo didn't yet know that Xie Zugu's affection was freely given to many. Back then, she was almost like a god.

Though Xie Zugu was a woman, Chen Guomo fell in love with her at the purest age of her life.

Only later did she discover that Chen Guomo wasn't the only one Xie Zugu called "dear."

The disciples who served her, her fellow junior sisters, members of the outer sect, demonic cultivators, monster cultivators, ghost cultivators: Xie Zugu made no distinctions. Every year, among the Hehuan Sect's new disciples, she would flirt with anyone who had even a little beauty.

Those passionate sweet nothings that Chen Guomo was too embarrassed to repeat were just everyday fare for Xie Zugu.

Chen Guomo's heart died. The crooked path had led her astray, and Xie Zugu had led her astray.

She decided to join the orthodox path, but the Hehuan Sect would never let her go, and neither would the orthodox sects accept her.

She chose to fake her death.

She changed her name and started over.

It was time to turn the page on Xie Zugu.

A great fire took everything. The buildings became ruins, and the junior sister who always wore plain white and gazed at her with adoration still sometimes appeared in her dreams.

At first, she treated it as a little diversion for her free time.

Gradually, she began to feel an empty place in her heart, and she could no longer find peace.

One day, she happened to see a sword cultivator from the Sword Sect who looked seven or eight tenths like the beloved in her dreams. That night, Xie Zugu tossed and turned as if ants were gnawing at her heart. From then on, her cultivation plummeted.

Her A Mo would never look at her with those adoring eyes again.
