Yan Ruyu became famous at a young age, with an extraordinary constitution. From a mere mortal who had yet to establish his foundation, he rose to become the foremost swordsman of the Sword Sect, envied by all.
His only blemish was Shen Miao,
the ordinary brothel girl he had married while still mortal.
Yet he treasured her like a precious jewel, unwilling to let anyone else so much as glimpse her.
When Shen Miao transmigrated to another world, she accidentally ended up in a brothel. Yan Ruyu rescued her, and the two fell in love over time and married. So even in the unfamiliar Kunlun, being with Yan Ruyu made her happy.
Yan Ruyu disliked his junior sister.
Spoiled, willful, and unwilling to accept defeat,
she always made him frown in annoyance whenever they came up in conversation.
Shen Miao would laugh, thinking how vivid he seemed in those moments. She could not help caressing his brow. The young man lowered his head, their gazes entwined, their lips brushing with each other's breath.
She thought things would always be this way.
However, during an expedition to exterminate demons, Yan Ruyu and his junior sister disappeared together for several months. Fearing the worst, Shen Miao refused to believe it and searched tirelessly, only to find them in a small courtyard in the mortal realm.
“He was badly injured, so we... we stayed here for a while...” The junior sister's eyes darted away as she stammered.
“Who are you?” The young man looked at her with distant eyes.
Yan Ruyu had lost his memory. He had forgotten everything about her.
Shen Miao refused to give up. Even when he rejected and ignored her, she did everything she could to keep him by her side. She naively believed that they could fall in love all over again.
Until her birthday, when Yan Ruyu, who had always spent the day with her, learned that his junior sister had fallen into a demon's lair and gone missing. He left Shen Miao behind and vanished without a trace.
“Then, do you still love me?”
The young man's expression was cold. He looked at her calmly. “I'm sorry.”
Then he carried his injured, unconscious junior sister away without looking back.
At last, Shen Miao accepted reality.
With the junior sister and Yan Ruyu soon to be wed, everyone looked at Shen Miao with unmistakable sympathy. She packed her things, went down the mountain, and decided to start over.

Zhang Hanxue was warm on the outside and cold within. Famous from a young age, born with a sword bone, he cultivated the emotionless path and possessed an unshakable Dao heart. He had never fallen for anyone in his life, but unexpectedly encountered Shen Miao in a secluded courtyard.
The woman was strikingly beautiful, with a vivid red beauty mark on her pale neck. Like a bewitching specter, she leaned beside her husband and softly called him “Martial Uncle.”
Zhang Hanxue answered coolly, his calm gaze briefly passing over her before turning toward the distance.
He felt nothing.
Unexpectedly, after returning home, he began dreaming every night.
In his dreams, Shen Miao's eyes shimmered, a vivid flush spread across her snow-white skin, and she was alluring and captivating. He was cruelly tormenting her, making her call him her husband.
He woke with his clothes damp.
After Shen Miao was abandoned, he thought his feelings would gradually fade.
But he had just one thought:
His chance had come!
