We Sword Cultivators Won't Be Swayed by Beauty!

^ ^ Plot-Driven Blurb:

Everyone says Han Yunxi is blessed with extraordinary talent, able to cut down good and evil alike with a single stroke and pierce through illusion and delusion.

She is the greatest swordswoman in a thousand years, yet no one knows that she practices every day until she is spent, honing her swordsmanship to the utmost without ever grasping her own sword intent.

Someone once told her that a sword is not meant to kill, but to understand.

She did not understand, not until she once again wagered everything to protect the people of the cultivation world, pointing her sword at the Heavenly Dao and standing at the brink of life and death.

Her sword was snapped in two by the one who claimed to embody Heaven's will.

Amid the jeers, she merely raised an eyebrow, her gaze cold and disdainful. "Have I ever told you that what matters most to a sword cultivator isn't the sword, but their integrity?"

Romance-Focused Blurb:

[Senior Sister, after a lifetime of bitter suffering and absurdity, for you alone would I fight to live another day.]

Han Yunxi lived boldly and freely, killing decisively and indulging in life without restraint. She had never regretted a thing.

Until, once again, she pulled out her own bones to forge a sword for the people of the cultivation world, and her soul left her body as she lay dying.

She saw her usually silent, distant, inexpressive junior brother, Wen Zhitiao, use his own blood to thread a needle in front of her, all to embroider a spray of white magnolias. Then he pointed his sword at her senior brother and said, word by word, "You killed her. I'll make you pay with your life."

Yunxi's conscience pricked. "My handsome junior brother is truly pitiful. He saw me die and lost his senses, doing something so absurd. If there's a next time, I'll make sure to raise the child properly!"

*

After being reborn, she meets her pitiful junior brother again, now a serene and noble Immortal Venerable. When he faces her, his expression is cool and distant, yet obedient and considerate. Yunxi is denounced and cursed by the entire cultivation world as its disgrace and a lackey of the spirit cultivators.

Wen Zhitiao's robes are white as snow, his presence both dignified and clear. "If Senior Sister betrays us, I will cut her down."

Everyone praises his unparalleled bearing and grace. Yunxi can hardly believe that what she saw after her soul left her body wasn't an illusion.

No one knows that the Immortal Venerable, who shows compassion for all living beings by day, snaps the necks of those who came before him at Yunxi's bedside by night. After washing away the blood and guilt, he nestles against her palm like a puppy, utterly dependent, his head and the side of his neck resting in her hand.

Long lashes, violet eyes, and a damp, fixed gaze. His expression is intoxicated and unhinged, beautiful yet dangerous. With an innocent cruelty, he murmurs tenderly,

"Senior Sister, stop saving the world. Save me."

Yunxi: "My junior brother really is a yandere, but I can't help it when he's this gorgeous!"
