After Becoming the Dao Chief's Widow

The leader of the Northern Domain's Daoist sects dies suddenly. Before his body is even cold, members of his sect are already eager to divide up his inheritance. His young disciple, who has yet to be formally entered into the sect registry, can only watch as his master's belongings are tossed aside without a care.

"Stop!"

Just as he is left with no one to turn to, a white umbrella drifts into view, and its owner shouts the crowd to a halt.

The person beneath the umbrella is as beautiful as ice and jade, utterly breathtaking. Snow slips from the edge of the umbrella onto the little disciple's cheek, cool and soft, just like the touch of a heart beginning to flutter.

Noticing his gaze, the newcomer scowls and snaps, "You little brat! I'm your... master's wife!"

Wonderful. Even his scolding sounds so nice.

From that day on, the little disciple has a secret: he has a male master's wife, and he likes him.

As the eldest disciple of Gushan, Wen Xun is gifted and exceptionally talented, a standout among his peers since childhood. Then one day, it is discovered that he has a Yin Body: fragrant skin, jade bones, and the ideal furnace physique.

The young prodigy suddenly becomes a plaything in other people's eyes. Even the sect that once spared no effort in cultivating him changes its attitude, treating him as a valuable commodity to be sold to the highest bidder and planning to offer him to a powerful patron.

When all hope seems lost, Fu Yu steps forward. This proud son of the Northern Domain willingly forms a blood pact with Wen Xun, becoming his husband in name only. To put Wen Xun at ease, he even vows that they will never meet again, no matter where in the world they are.

Later, they each become renowned figures. "The Spirit Abyss does not cross the mountains, and the Daoist leader does not leave the land" becomes common knowledge throughout the cultivation world. Wen Xun hopes Fu Yu will attain enlightenment, but instead, word comes that he has fallen.

That night, the Lord of the Spirit Abyss crossed Mount Yiyun.

The common knowledge of the cultivation world no longer held true.

Wen Xun travels alone to the Northern Domain to pay his respects. There, he finds greedy relatives and friends busy dividing up the inheritance, along with a young disciple being bullied. The pitiful state of his old friend's affairs after death leaves him with a jumble of feelings.

He decides to become a "mother" without the pain of childbirth and stay behind to raise his old friend's disciple into a fine young man.

But the longer he stays, the more he realizes that this supreme Daoist realm, long known as a forbidden land of demons, is not quite right. Strange incidents keep happening around him.

Those who fight over the inheritance suddenly fall and end up half-paralyzed. Anyone who speaks lewdly to him soon has their core destroyed. As for those who covet him, this "widow," none of them survive...

That night, his young disciple knocks on his door, looking terrified. "Mistress, there's something filthy inside the sect. I'm scared."

Before Wen Xun can answer, an unseen, icy body presses against his back. "Don't listen to him. He's just a little liar."

Cold, snake-like fingers force their way between his. Wen Xun's hair stands on end.

He's terrified too.
