After Betraying My Junior Brother, the Dragon-Proud Protagonist

The genius sword cultivator Lin Qingyue accidentally obtained a fragment of a scroll from a secret realm, one that could foresee the future.

The fragment recorded that at the Immortal Sect Tournament, she would be utterly crushed by her good-for-nothing junior brother, whose innate spiritual meridians were damaged.

Then, after failing to frame him, she would suffer a backlash, lose control of her cultivation, and end up losing all her powers.

Back then, she thought: Since I know how things will end, I should keep my distance from this junior brother, so I won't be tempted to do anything wicked and repeat the same mistakes.

But she and this junior brother seemed to be bound by fate.

Whenever someone picked on him and he silently endured it, she always happened to see.

Lin Qingyue couldn't stand watching, so she'd casually step in to stand up for him.

When their master left the mountain to travel and abandoned the junior brother, he didn't know what to do.

Lin Qingyue: Forget it, I'll teach you.

The junior brother's broken sword was rusty and battered, but he couldn't bear to replace it.

When Lin Qingyue saw it, she casually snatched a priceless treasure and forged him a new sword.

Gradually, Lin Qingyue realized she'd acquired a little shadow who poured her tea, brought her water, and made her bed.

That once aloof and solitary junior brother had turned into an obedient, clingy little white flower!

Lin Qingyue: Not bad. Spending my whole life with this junior brother might not be so bad.

Off to the side, the junior brother silently blushed all the way to his ears.

In the Divine Capital Secret Realm, the members of the Immortal Sects unexpectedly encountered an ancient demonic tide. To save Lin Qingyue, the junior brother unsealed the demonic meridians throughout his body. He lost control, leaving behind a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Drenched in blood and surrounded by demonic energy, he looked like a fearsome demon who had crawled out of hell.

Everyone feared him, but he didn't care. All he wanted was for Lin Qingyue not to hate him...

But Lin Qingyue's expression turned grave as she held her divine sword to his throat.

The sword's gleam made the young man's eyes ache. He gripped the blade with his bare hands, and blood and tears streamed down his face.

“I'm sorry, Senior Sister.”

“In this state, I can't stay by your side for the rest of our lives.”

With his heart turned to ash, the young man leaped from the Immortal-Slaying Platform. His body died, and his soul vanished.

Later, everyone at Xuantian Sect knew that every year on the seventh day of the fifth month, a sky lantern drifted above the peak of Sword-Seeking Peak. It was their Senior Sister, who believed in neither gods nor buddhas, praying to the heavens.

She prayed that in the next cycle of reincarnation, she would be able to save the one she loved.

One couple, both devoted to each other and both powerful.

Feel free to dive in, the ending is definitely happy!! (The blurb is from the heroine's perspective. The hero is actually sweet on the outside, dark on the inside.)

Theme: Talent and hard work are both indispensable
