There are only three steps to heal a down-and-out young Sword Lord:
1. Feed him; 2. cuddle him; 3. tell him, "I believe in you."
The impoverished sword cultivator Nian Xi binds herself to a System that rewards good deeds. Do enough good, and she can exchange her deeds for real money.
She helps an old lady get home and earns one coin.
She helps a stranger bring in their goods when it rains and earns two coins.
She volunteers to clear snow from the stone path and earns three coins.
Then one day, she helps her gloomy, antisocial neighbor pick up a glove he accidentally dropped.
System: [ + one tael of silver ]
Nian Xi: ???
After her shock wears off, she is overjoyed.
Now she can afford the essential-oil spa treatment she wants to give her precious sword this month!
What she doesn't expect is that she started out after the man's money, only to somehow end up on a path to marrying a "rich and beautiful" former Sword Lord and reaching the pinnacle of life...

Once a celebrated young Sword Lord, Zhu Yusheng became the despised "degenerate" of the immortal sects, abandoned by everyone. With demonic poison coursing through him, he now lives in seclusion at the foot of Wangbie Mountain, a gloomy and solitary nobody.
He thought he would spend the rest of his life in despair, until he met someone:
A swindler who came by every day to mooch food and drink, loved taking advantage of others, and cared about nothing but silver!
One day, he would make her pay back every last coin she owed him!
But when the day finally came to part after his revenge was complete, with clouds drifting by and the mountain peaks in bloom,
he could only stand by the ferry, eyes reddening despite himself, and tug feebly at her sleeve.
"I'll give you everything I have."
"Please don't leave me, okay?"

Little Scene
In the drizzly season, rain pattered outside. Shadows blurred among the trees, and the plants gleamed green. Once the evening heat faded, the mountain air turned cool.
Nian Xi propped her chin in her hands and looked at the person across from her.
The young man was as lovely as jade. His eyelashes lowered in concentration as he roasted a sweet potato over the hearth.
"Hungry?" He looked uncomfortable under her gaze and asked stiffly, his voice low.
Nian Xi nodded, then finally answered after a long pause.
"I'm hungry for you."
Zhu Yusheng: ...
