Shi Yunqian is a little blind woman in Chifeng Town, with a badly disfigured face and a poor memory. Fortunately, she has a gentle, understanding husband.
Even though she often forgets who he is, he always stays by her side.
And luckily, she only loses her memory for three to five days at a time, so she always manages to remember again.
Until one day, while accompanying her neighbor up the mountain, she passes a graveyard and accidentally brings home a little ghost.
The little ghost badmouths her husband every day.
It says he is devious and immensely powerful, and that her current miserable state is all his doing.
She has a husband who stays by her side day and night, and a little ghost spouting nonsense. Of course she chooses to believe her husband.
So the little ghost offers to be her eyes.
Then she sees with her own eyes her frail, scholarly husband, who can barely hurt a fly and makes his living selling paintings and calligraphy, casually crush someone's head right in front of her.

Shi Yunqian is a low-ranking cultivator who tends spirit horses in the stables of Wanzhong Mountain. She has always been content and happy.
Until one day, Xie Ci, Wanzhong Mountain's first disciple, asks for her hand in marriage, and she becomes anxious beyond measure.
At last, she overcomes her timid nature and opens her heart to him, but he says he mistook her for someone else.
It turns out he proposed out of gratitude for a life-saving favor, and he had simply mistaken her for someone else.
Shi Yunqian pauses, says, "Oh," and picks up her brush again to groom the spirit horses.
She was only a low-ranking cultivator, after all.
But when everyone from Wanzhong Mountain surrounds the stables, gouges out her eyes, and strips off her skin, she still can't understand.
He was the one who mistook her for someone else, and she never stopped him from seeking the woman he loved. How could he be so cruel? He knew what happened to half-demons in the cultivation world, yet he still revealed her half-demon identity to the master of Wanzhong Mountain.
She had only ever told him.
