Several centuries ago, Jiang Zhiyue was the greatest cultivation prodigy on Xizhou Continent. Yet someone cut out her inner core, scattering her soul to the winds. That someone was none other than her master, Xie Chenhuan. He cultivated the Unfeeling Dao, and she was the only attachment he had in the mortal world. On the day of his tribulation, he killed her to prove his Dao and ascended on the spot.
Zhu Huaisi watched as Jiang Zhiyue, whose cultivation was clearly superior to Xie Chenhuan's, offered her neck to the blade. She smiled and tossed out one last line: "I repaid my debt with my life. Now we're even." Then all three souls and seven spirits left her body. He, too, wanted to bid farewell to this wretched world, but his mother's former followers rescued him. They also brought Jiang Zhiyue's soul and wanted him, the only child of the late Demon Venerable, to inherit the title. In truth, they only intended to use him as a puppet. Unable to accept losing Jiang Zhiyue, Zhu Huaisi gladly agreed.
Xie Chenhuan works for a quick transmigration company. This time, his mission is to stop Jiang Zhiyue, the villain of a small world, from destroying the world. His role is to be her emotionless master. He only needs to follow the System's instructions and complete his tasks, but he loses contact with the System as soon as he transmigrates, so he has no choice but to improvise. He takes good care of Jiang Zhiyue, hoping to show her the importance of love and peace. But when he finally gets back in touch with the System, his first mission is to cut out her inner core.
Years later, Jiang Zhiyue is fortunate enough to be reborn and continue cultivating. Zhu Huaisi becomes the Demon Venerable in name as well as in fact, and Xie Chenhuan ascends to become a divine judge. Everyone has a bright future ahead.
