Reader's Guide:
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending. First, the loyal, beautiful, strong, tragic love interest is forced to be destroyed; then the corrupted, beautiful, strong love interest is saved.
2. The shou looks like a sword cultivator but is actually a Daoist priest. The gong is cold and gloomy, but inexplicably throws childish tantrums like an elementary school kid. Before his corruption, he pretends to be a meek little rabbit only around the shou. Afterward, he's a possessive, obsessive, lovesick madman with every negative trait turned up to the max. The gong is younger. Both are strong.
3. The gong is a jinx, born under an extremely ill-fated horoscope. He really is dangerous.
4. Plot-focused, with a few dungeon arcs and supernatural rule-based horror. Eastern Lovecraftian style, with a cultivation setting.
After years of secluded cultivation, Lu Yunheng leaves his sect for the first time and unexpectedly finds a strange vase with a human head.
It causes no trouble for anyone else, but for some reason, it only affects him.
"Stay away from Fu Ye! Stay away from Fu Ye!" The human-headed vase spits out slips of paper frantically.
Lu Yunheng: "...?"
Fu Ye is clearly his righteous and loyal good friend, even if he is a little strange. He immediately decides the vase is an evil spirit and is about to bury it.
The human-headed vase: "You can destroy me! Just stay away from Fu Ye! Whatever you do, don't let him fall in love with you!"
Lu Yunheng: "?"
One question mark isn't enough to convey how bewildered he is by that whole statement.
But once every prediction made by this evil object comes true, Lu Yunheng has no choice but to reconsider how serious the situation is.
It seems that to save the world, he'll have to inconvenience his friend a little first.
Fu Ye, the Wuji Sect's greatest genius and the Great Qing Empire's biggest jinx.
A nineteen-year-old sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, he is rumored to have brought about the deaths of his parents, his master, and all his former fellow disciples. No one can stay by his side for a month with all their limbs intact.
His horoscope may be dire, but the truth is that this Seven-Kill Star has a powerful urge to kill. Wherever he goes, three thousand sword auras take shape as killing intent, terrifying the fainthearted. He truly deserves to be called a born killer.
Stay away from Fu Ye. Everyone in Great Qing's cultivation world knows that.
But Lu Yunheng, a country bumpkin on his first trip down the mountain, doesn't know. Not only that, he even becomes Fu Ye's friend for a while.
So later, when Lu Yunheng avoids him at every turn, Fu Ye wonders what he did wrong and what he failed to do well enough.
Was he not pretending to be gentle and obedient well enough? Or has he finally become just like all those other people, afraid of him and frightened by him?
For reasons he can't reveal, Lu Yunheng can't tell Fu Ye the truth. He can only choose the most hurtful excuse: "I'm really sorry, but your horoscope is too dire. I'm afraid I can't handle it. You'd better stay away from me."
Better to end it once and for all and never see each other again.
But when he sees Fu Ye's eyes redden at those simple words, he falters. Fu Ye has endured a hundred or a thousand blades without changing his expression, yet now he only says softly, "All right."
Fu Ye keeps his promise and never again comes within a hundred zhang of him. Yet whenever trouble strikes and Lu Yunheng comes through it safely, he always catches sight of Fu Ye's departing back.
Why does everyone insist he's a harbinger of death, a solitary star? He's clearly a benefactor who brings good fortune.
Lu Yunheng suddenly wonders if the world is even worth saving.

This is a world being contaminated and corroded.
Three hundred years ago, the [Calamity Star] fell from the sky and crashed into the northern lands of Great Qing. The entire city of Baidi vanished from the map, along with the Sanqing Sect, renowned throughout Xuanzhou and even the whole Great Qing Empire, which was wiped out overnight.
Wherever the foul corruption passes, people fall ill and beasts mutate. In just two or three years, demons and monsters run rampant, and nothing grows.
Even worse, this contamination can only be contained. It has never stopped.
According to the prophecy, only the chosen one can truly destroy the [Calamity Star] and save the world from disaster.
