A new junior sister joined the Qingwei Sect. Her name was Ling Yue.
The junior sister had an exceptionally beautiful face, but she never bothered with her appearance. All she cared about was cultivating, pushing everyone else to the brink with her relentless work ethic.
She was always doing all sorts of outrageous things, including but not limited to hogging all kinds of cultivation resources and claiming every spirit herb on the back mountain. Yet she was never punished.
Rumor had it that this was because she looked remarkably like Tu Shanyue, the sect master's wife. The sect master's wife had been in seclusion for many years, but she was still the whole sect's beloved ideal. So everyone was especially tolerant of the junior sister.
The junior sister and the new junior brother seemed to have an unusual relationship.
Lu Xingzhou was arrogant and picked fights with everyone, but he was the one who kept coming off second-best around Ling Yue.
According to one disciple, they once saw Ling Yue point at the junior brother's nose and yell at him. Then he suddenly kissed her, and she was instantly struck speechless, her hand awkwardly dropping to her side.
What they didn't know was that the junior sister had known Lu Xingzhou even before entering the sect.
Heaven had given her another chance at life. Freed from a body that couldn't move or speak, she was picked up by Lu Xingzhou.
They pretended not to know each other and joined the Qingwei Sect. By day, they cultivated; by night, they killed.
They also didn't know that she was the sect master's wife.
On the day she finally achieved her carefully planned goal of marrying Shen Xi, the foremost man of the immortal sects, all the meridians in her body were transferred to another woman. From then on, she became a living corpse, lying alone in misery for seven years.
She pushed herself to the brink every day because she wanted to defeat Shen Xi with her own hands.
At last, Shen Xi noticed her, the stand-in for his beloved ideal, and proposed to her in front of everyone.
Lu Xingzhou was so jealous he could have gone through the roof. "You have to prove you're better than me before you're qualified to marry her, don't you, dear ex-husband?"
As Shen Xi and the others stared in shock, the junior sister drew her sword and pointed it at him.
"I'm that unfortunate ex-wife of yours who's been 'in seclusion' for seven years. Today, we fight to the death. Either you die, or I live!"
