The Demon Venerable gave Yu Baiyan a mission: impersonate a female cultivator who had been dead for eight hundred years.
That cultivator had been the beloved disciple and white moonlight of the Immortal Venerable of the era.
After she died for the Immortal Venerable, he avoided women for eight hundred years and strictly ordered his disciples to remain free of worldly desires.
The Demon Venerable's intentions were obvious.
So Yu Baiyan pretended to have lost her memory and joined the Immortal Venerable's sect.
The Immortal Venerable was overjoyed, then furious, hesitant, suspicious, and put her through a series of trials...
"It's simple to find out if you're real or a fake. A leopard can't change its spots. In the Illusion of Forgetting the Dao, you'll lose your memory and reveal the true nature of your soul!"
Little Yu: Demon Venerable!! What do I do??
Demon Venerable: "I guarantee you won't lose your memory. Just remember one thing: this cultivator loved deeply, more than anyone in the world."
Little Yu: Got it! I'll stay in character!
The first time she entered the illusion, she fell deeply in love with the aloof senior brother who felt nothing for his sect.
Even when the senior brother said, "Whether you live or die for me was your choice, not something I asked of you. So why do you bind me to you?"
She only gave a faint, bitter smile.
The second time she entered the illusion, she remained steadfastly in love with the hesitant, passionate Divine Son.
Even when the Divine Son said, "You and I are in love, but I can't help being captivated by her."
She nodded firmly. "I believe you!"
The third time...
The fourth time...
At last!
The Immortal Venerable grabbed her and shouted, "Wicked disciple, it really is you! You hopeless romantic! Eight hundred years ago, you died for the Demon Venerable. I've regretted not disciplining you more strictly ever since. Now I'm going to cure your lovesickness once and for all, and make you devote yourself to the Great Dao, so you don't repeat the same mistake!"
Little Yu stared wide-eyed. Huh??? How is this different from what the Demon Venerable told me!?
[Senior Brother and Divine Son: No! Don't cure her!! It's all my fault!!!]
The Immortal Venerable didn't just intend to cure Yu Baiyan's lovesickness. He also turned her experiences in the illusion into a tragic romance idol drama and released it across the cultivation world, hoping to cure everyone of their lovesickness!
Little Yu: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Good news: Her identity wasn't suspected! Bad news: Her undercover mission had failed too.
Good news: She became the cultivation world's top-tier star in idol dramas! Bad news: She had thoroughly disgraced herself.
Little Yu glared at the Demon Venerable. "You big demon! You set me up!"
The Demon Venerable glowered, then turned and shouted at the Immortal Venerable, "What a hypocrite! You were the one who fell in love with your disciple and got her killed, and now you're pinning it on me!"
The Immortal and Demon Venerables fought three hundred rounds, neither willing to admit he had feelings for the female cultivator.
Until, eventually...
Yu Baiyan recovered her memories of her past life.
Oh, so she was that female cultivator. (￣ェ￣;)
Demon Venerable and Immortal Venerable: !!!
Little Yu: "Ahem, about my death, I think... there were two huge misunderstandings."
