[I'll rewrite this after finishing "The Fragrance of Pear Blossoms at Dusk".]
As a half-immortal, half-demon, Shuo Zhao's childhood was never peaceful.
Her mother died giving birth to her, her biological father abandoned her, and she nearly perished on the battlefield between immortals and demons.
Later, a divine lord saved her. Though this benefactor left her with her adoptive mother and never asked after her again, Shuo Zhao followed her adoptive mother's teachings and remained deeply grateful to him.
Her adoptive mother was lowly, and Shuo Zhao endured scorn and hardship with her in the immortal realm. She always followed her mother's teachings, enduring and yielding.
Until the only person who had ever cared for her died before her eyes...
After her adoptive mother died, she grabbed her sword and charged onto the Qiongtai. Just as she was about to kill her mother's murderer, a flash of white light passed, and the benefactor who had once saved her pierced her heart with his sword...
·
Shuo Zhao was imprisoned for three hundred years and suffered every kind of torment, but she was tough enough to endure it all.
When she finally got the chance to break free, she encountered her former benefactor again.
Without the slightest hesitation, she lunged and drove her sword into his chest.
She knew she wasn't strong enough to kill him, so she would need to plan carefully. She had no desire to prolong the fight, and broke through the seal and left at once.
From then on, they were even, and the next time they met, they would be mortal enemies.
She just never expected...
·
Save me... Who could have guessed that the divine lord I failed to kill with one sword would be such a hopeless romantic? This is ridiculous...
·
Out of compassion, Jing Ci saved the demon foretold by an oracle.
Unwilling to acknowledge his kindness, he abandoned her in the immortal realm, trapped her behind a seal, and avoided her, never checking on her.
Three hundred years later, she broke out of the seal, badly wounded, and resolutely turned against the entire immortal realm.
Only then did he learn how miserable her life had been all these years because of one decision he had made.
He would not abandon her again. He gave up everything just to stay by her side.
But the girl who had once followed him without hesitation at a single word now answered him with a resolute sword thrust.
·
That little girl from back then no longer trusted him...
·
So what if she didn't trust him? His girl could hurt him, but for now, she wasn't strong enough to kill him. Until then, he could swallow his pride, follow her, and protect her.
When the day came that she could kill him, he would no longer need to worry about her safety. He could die peacefully by her sword.
