Yin Ning had always been an overlooked outer disciple doing odd jobs at Lanyue Peak. One day, her master punished her severely over a trivial matter. She collapsed after kneeling for so long, and when she woke up with her head aching and dazed, she felt that a voice had appeared in her mind, repeating, "You are the young mistress of the demon clan, and you are undercover here to find the immortal sect's treasure. Hurry and recover your memories!"
Yin Ning was astonished. What young... young mistress?
From that day on, she began to notice all sorts of inexplicable changes around her.
For instance, her master Wen Shiqing, whom she had barely met, suddenly wanted to take her as her personal disciple. She was friendly, unlike her usual distant, aloof self.
The voice in Yin Ning's head warned her, "One day, this person will make you suffer in every possible way. You must not get entangled with her any longer. Your opportunity lies elsewhere. Find a way to leave Lanyue Peak!"
So Yin Ning followed its instructions and planned to flee Lanyue Peak, but Wen Shiqing only redoubled her efforts to get close to her.
One moment, she would say she was hungry and have Yin Ning personally make osmanthus pastries to feed her.
The next, she would say she was hot and send Yin Ning to the Feilin Grove to fetch golden leaves and fan her.
Worst of all, one night, she insisted that she was afraid of the dark, wrapped an arm around Yin Ning's neck, and breathed sweetly into her ear. "Ning'er, your master is scared. Won't you share my bed tonight?"
How could this still be Wen Shiqing, the unattainable Moon Yao Immortal? She had clearly turned into a black lotus, dark through and through!
Yin Ning kept a straight face, though she was already breaking out in a cold sweat. All she could do was silently pray to herself, "No, I have to stay away from her..."
