Lin Tingfeng is the heroine of a cultivation novel.
But as the heroine, her life has been far from smooth.
She devoted herself to cultivation from childhood, enduring countless hardships until she finally reached the lofty gates of the immortal sect and became an inner disciple of the Xuanxu Sect. She thought the road to immortality would be smooth from then on, but in the end, everything turned to dust.
The demons invaded. Her master expended a century of cultivation, her senior sister was gravely injured and fell unconscious, and even Jiang Xiaowu, the taciturn boy who always did as she asked, died before her eyes.
When Lin Tingfeng awoke again, she found herself back on the day of the immortal sect entrance exam.
A voice told her that if she wanted to survive, she had to stop the villain from turning evil. This was her last chance.
But she hadn't even had time to see who the villain was.
Tingfeng: That can be dealt with.
She carefully studied her sect and made a list of likely villains:
Target One: her eldest senior brother, who practices swordsmanship all night and is mentally unstable
Target Two: her junior grand-uncle, who fell from grace and lost all his cultivation
Target Three: her tea-green junior brother, who loves their eldest senior sister but can't have her
As the targets' affection scores shot up, Lin Tingfeng figured everything was under control and she could live to a ripe old age in peace.
So why was her childhood friend's face getting darker and darker?
Then the demons arrived right on schedule, and the evening clouds turned red with blood. Jiang Yanhui approached slowly, sword in hand, then suddenly pulled her into his arms.
After that, he led her through a sea of demons, carving a bloody path through them.
Lin Tingfeng: ? Wait, this isn't how it went before!

When Jiang Yanhui first arrived in the human world, he was gravely injured and had lost all five senses. She was the only one who stayed by his side.
At first, he thought that once he recovered, he would kill everyone who had seen him.
Later, as he rested his chin in his hand and gazed at her smiling face, he suddenly realized he didn't seem to care about returning to be the young lord of the demon race.
