Clever, sweet-faced, black-hearted junior sister x insecure, devoted second senior brother
Chen Ruowei did every kind of evil in her previous life: she betrayed her sect, killed her master, and joined the despised Qianmen. In the end, she united the cultivation world and became its supreme ruler. On the night of her victory, she drank herself into a deep sleep, only to wake up hundreds of years in the past, when she was seventeen.
Seventeen-year-old Chen Ruowei was still her master's beloved disciple and the sect's junior sister, gentle and amiable, always smiling warmly at everyone. But only she knew it was all an act.
The reborn Chen Ruowei: I'm done pretending!
The next day's sect headline: Shocking! Why did Junior Sister do that?!
Chen Ruowei kicks her master and punches her way through the sect, only to discover that nothing is so simple. Everything she saw in her previous life, true or false, was part of a scheme.
Tan Qing considers himself mediocre and useless.
His talent is ordinary, his looks unremarkable. He cannot match his senior brother's poise, nor his extraordinary talent.
In the illusion, Tan Qing is still fighting for his life while his senior brother has already rescued Chen Ruowei. In the Scripture Pavilion, Tan Qing is still seeking enlightenment while his senior brother has already broken through to a higher understanding. On the dueling platform, Tan Qing is sent flying with a single blow from his senior brother.
He struggles back to his feet, humiliated, while his senior brother stands high above him and says only, "You fought well."
His world is all shades of gray, until he meets Chen Ruowei, the only light in his life.
After a sudden upheaval, Tan Qing thinks his life will probably end this way: his wish shattered, his cultivation gone...
But Chen Ruowei: how could he ever let her go?
