Female Lead's Version
On the eve of her wedding, her fiance betrayed her. The sect's protective formation was badly damaged, leaving Flying Star Valley beset by troubles within and without. The only way to keep its thousands of disciples safe was to repair the formation.
Qing Xian: "Have you found a way?"
"We can only conceive a spirit embryo and use its spiritual power to reforge the stone that anchors the formation."
"My fiance's gone. Where am I supposed to find a man to get pregnant by?!"
Her subordinate hesitated, then replied with difficulty, "Perhaps the Valley Master could make do?"
Recalling the sight of that man, barely dressed and sleeping with someone else, Qing Xian nearly retched. She sneered, "I'd rather die than take him back. Find me a handsome man with a clean background and a gentle disposition. The price is negotiable. I want the child, not the father."
Her subordinate did as instructed.
The man they found suited her perfectly.
But just as Qing Xian was about to send him on his way, the man raised his hand, gathering all the moonlight. Its radiance filled the room. Wearing the face most admired in the Immortal Alliance, he pressed her step by step. "You used me and now want to toss me aside, Valley Master. Have you thought through the consequences?"
Qing Xian: Damn! I've been played!
Male Lead's Version
"What kind of husband do you want?"
"He should be a peerless hero, unmatched beneath the heavens!"
Xiu Jing took her words to heart. From then on, he studied and trained diligently, defeated the Immortal Alliance's top-ranked cultivator, and finally ascended to the position of Alliance Sovereign. Now he could go find her.
But he hadn't expected that "women's words are lies" and that one wrong move would ruin everything.
In utter despair, he obeyed his master's orders and cultivated the Supreme Heartless Art.
Just as his cultivation reached its peak, he heard that her fiance, blind fool that he was, had betrayed her, and that she was busy finding a man to conceive a spirit embryo.
A spirit embryo? He could give her one...
The Immortal Alliance, stagnant for years, was suddenly in turmoil:
#Good grief! The Immortal Venerable keeps trying to use a woman to climb the ranks!
#Shocking! The dignified Immortal Venerable is willing to be the other man for love!
Theme: Sincerity and perseverance can move even metal and stone.
