Note: A reclusive demon × a pawn caught between the righteous and demonic factions
What?! You’re saying the young sect master of the Xuantian Sect is a spy for the villains?
That can’t be true.
When the truth came out, everyone reacted the same way, shaking their heads like rattles.
Unfortunately, it was true.
The cultivation world was full of people who couldn’t accept it!
Qin Wenyue transmigrated into the body of a young lady from a powerful family, blessed with both a distinguished background and exceptional talent. But the moment she arrived, someone grabbed her by the throat and told her she was a useless spy. Then they threw her into a den of demonic beasts for a trial, and she struggled back to her feet, covered in wounds.
"That blood on you, it isn't yours?"
"Someone splashed fresh human blood on your clothes and left you deep in the Thousand-Year Forest. The moment you landed, the starving beasts and demons here would have spotted you and taken you for food."
After finally making it out of the Thousand-Year Forest, Qin Wenyue patiently and gently got to work as a spy, all to stay alive. She made use of the identity of Ye Qingyue, the person whose body she had transmigrated into, when it suited her. The Demon Realm wanted her to become a disciple of the Xuantian Sect and the sect leader's first disciple.
Qin Wenyue, however, concealed Ye Qingyue's name and background. With the mindset that she couldn't become a disciple of the righteous sect anyway, she simply relied on her own abilities and did as she pleased, wanting to see how far she could go.
She had no desire to get involved in the revenge and renewed bloodshed of some war between immortals and demons.
She wanted to raise spirit pets, make pills, study spirit artifacts, cultivate and practice swordsmanship, then make a friend or two. To drink, laugh, and live freely. Yet Qin Wenyue really did become the young sect master of the Xuantian Sect.
On one side was her responsibility to the Xuantian Sect; on the other, the Demon Clan's relentless entanglements.
The past cannot be revisited, but the road ahead can still be considered.
The feuds between immortals and demons had lasted for ages. Qin Wenyue actually had a senior fellow disciple, but her master, Jiang Yingqing, and her senior brother, Mo Changfeng, had their paths to immortality cut short by the Demon Clan. Jiang Yingqing placed all her hopes in Qin Wenyue, her youngest disciple.
To Jiang Yingqing, her youngest disciple was steadfast, perceptive, and cool on the outside but lively and energetic within. Deep down, she was also exceptionally gentle and compassionate. Jiang Yingqing feared only that her youngest disciple lacked a certain ruthlessness.
But no one knew that Qin Wenyue had been the most important hidden pawn placed by the Demon Clan from the very beginning.
Even Qin Wenyue herself had no idea how important she was.
When the balance she had carefully maintained all along was shattered, she lost her cultivation and left the sect of her own accord. But a demon remained by her side the whole time.
Then, she would simply start over!
"From that first day in the Thousand-Year Forest."
