Ning Songyan was Jiuxiao Sect's only pretty face and spoiled troublemaker. Beautiful enough to dazzle, he was also willful, extravagant, and utterly indulgent. Worse, he held the position of senior disciple and swaggered about as if he owned the place, offending plenty of people in the martial world.
Later, after upheaval struck Jiuxiao Sect, its new leader came in eager to make his mark and ordered Ning Songyan expelled from the sect.
Without his sect's protection, all of Ning Songyan's enemies came knocking overnight. The Thirteen Cultivators of the Ghost Domain were especially persistent, harassing him again and again.
Desperate for some peace and quiet, Ning Songyan made up a story on the spot:
"The Ghost Domain's esteemed lord and I are in love. We've already sworn our vows beneath the mountains and stars, and the sun and moon can bear witness. Please stop bothering me. If your master gets the wrong idea and punishes you, I won't be able to take responsibility!"
The moment those words were out, rumors spread throughout the martial world.

Ning Songyan was a calamity star sent from the heavens, a piece of the destined order. Jiuxiao Sect had deliberately hidden and used him as a pawn to change its fortunes.
And Ning Songyan was perfectly happy to play the part, enjoying the protection and living as he pleased.
Later, Ning Songyan met a strange man.
The man was so frail that he was panting after a few steps, a sickly creature who looked like a flower spirit born among peach blossoms.
Wen Zhixue: I'm helpless as a kitten. I'll leave everything that comes next to you.
Ning Songyan: I don't believe you.
He opened his eyes. A vivid, overwhelming red bloomed before him, warning that this man was extremely dangerous and not to be trifled with.
Ning Songyan: ?
What on earth have I run into?
Wen Zhixue's white clothes, stained red with blood, were startlingly bright. He deliberately leaned close to Ning Songyan's ear, his breath making the skin there tingle as he spoke in a deeply suggestive murmur:
"Didn't you say you and I were in love? What are you looking at?"
1. Pairing: Ning Songyan x Wen Zhixue. Both are beautiful, ruthless characters: a spoiled, willful gong x a sickly, crazy shou. One-on-one, firmly together, no switching or breaking them up.
2. The gong pretends to be a pretty face, but is really a deadly weapon. He puts on the act to avoid trouble. Both gong and shou are ruthless, very ruthless, and make a perfect pair of conspirators and bickering lovers.
3. This story takes place in a fictional world, and most of its setting is made up. Please don't take it too seriously!
Theme: Ride the undercurrents without sinking into the mud.
