Jiang Yi was once an immortal-heart herb nourished for ten thousand years by a spirit spring at the peak of the ancient immortal realm. By chance, she was born into the world. When she opened her eyes again, she had entered a novel with restricted content, becoming a cannon-fodder character who died as a swaddled infant.
The second time she woke, she had become the notorious villain in the book, the master of Cangshan Peak.
As a villain, her original self was ruthless, especially toward her half-demon disciple, Shang Chiqing.
Shang Chiqing was the handsome, strong, tragic second male lead of the book. He had been the legitimate son of the Heavenly Sword Palace. Though his bloodline was impure, he had at least lived a privileged and happy life, until his entire family was massacred overnight. As the sole surviving orphan, he had no choice but to go to Cangshan to study cultivation. But after becoming the original body's disciple, he suffered endless humiliation and abuse. In the end, he completely succumbed to darkness and killed her, embarking on a path of revenge and triumph.
By the time Jiang Yi arrived, she had already committed many evil deeds. According to the original plot, Shang Chiqing would soon grow much stronger.
Which meant the day he turned evil and killed her was drawing ever closer.
Jiang Yi didn't want to die again, so she decisively turned over a new leaf and did everything she could to treat him well.
She figured she had done enough.
Just then, the war between immortals and demons broke out, and Jiang Yi promptly chose to fake her death.
At the very last moment, she used her remaining strength to look back
Shang Chiqing's dark eyes were fixed on her. Amid the chaos, he wielded a pair of silver swords in one hand, slaughtering everyone in the area. His usually neat hair had come loose from its crown and fallen across his shoulders.
But he could no longer bring himself to care. He came rushing toward her like a man possessed.
Jiang Yi's eyes brimmed with the joy of someone about to regain her freedom.
Bye, disciple.
Now that I'm faking my death, you can't kill me anymore.

Shang Chiqing was a half-demon, a mongrel with a bloodline scorned by all. He had once been the legitimate son of the Heavenly Sword Palace. His bloodline might have been impure, but at least he had been raised in comfort and lived a happy life.
Until one day, all 288 people of the Heavenly Sword Palace were massacred.
Shang Chiqing clung to life alone until someone came to save him. She wore a blue robe, and her gaze as she looked down at him was as pitiless as a pool of autumn water. He heard only one cold sentence.
