An accident gave Qianhe the chance to take Xie Shu hostage.
Xie Shu was a noble young master and the Lingxiao Sect's senior disciple: elegant as a jade tree, with a cold and distant disposition. Qianhe was spoiled and willful, and loved teasing people like him most of all. She imprisoned him in her palace, forced him to marry her and cultivate with her, and did every wicked thing she could think of.
There is a price to pay for indulging in lust and doing whatever you please.
The Lingxiao Sect came to rescue Xie Shu, cleaving through her palace and her core with a single sword strike. Sword energy tore through her meridians, shattering them and scattering her spiritual power. Under Xie Shu's gaze, cold as frost and snow, Qianhe kissed him lightly one last time.
Then she leaped into the boundless abyss.

A hundred years later, in a lively little restaurant.
A diner vividly recounted an old tale: supposedly, a hundred years ago, the Sword Sovereign of Lingxiao, Xie Shu, who was then the Lingxiao Sect's senior disciple, had been taken hostage by a demoness. Fortunately, the demoness died, and Xie Shu came out of the ordeal blessed with good fortune: he comprehended the Dao overnight and rose to great heights, becoming the talk of the town.
Noticing the owner listening intently, the diner asked if she had heard the story.
The old woman stooped over and smiled. "The Sword Sovereign? Never heard of him."
The diner burst out laughing.
A mortal's hundred years and an immortal's endless life: they were worlds apart.
That night, heavy snow fell.
The Sword Sovereign, the subject of everyone's conversation that day, alighted gracefully before the desolate little restaurant. Through a crack in the wooden door, he saw once more those eyes from the illusion of his inner demons.
They faced each other across the years.
She was now a very old woman, while he remained radiant as the sun and moon.
Xie Shu's expression was cool and composed as he gave a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
"At last, I've found you."
