Blurb:

Song Jingqiu is an ordinary female college student in the 21st century, spending each day rushing between her classroom, the cafeteria, and the library.

One day, Song Shiqiu thinks she is dreaming, but actually transmigrates to another world. There, she spends a passionate night with a handsome man suffering from a love poison. He vows to kill her once the poison is cured.

Song Jingqiu pays him no mind. It was just a dream.

Later, Song Jingqiu realizes that she wasn't dreaming. She really did transmigrate to another world.

And the person she'd spent that passionate night with was her master, Xie Shiqiu.

Rumor has it that Xie Shiqiu, the Qingxuan Immortal Venerable of the Tianxuan Sect, is aloof and handsome on the surface, like a noble orchid or jade tree, someone everyone can admire but never approach. In truth, he is a great villain burdened by a blood feud, and could destroy the world at any moment.

He wants to kill her.

Fortunately, the two of them are bound by a Twin-Life Curse. If one dies, the other cannot survive either.

For now, Song Jingqiu's life is safe.

To stay alive, Song Jingqiu contrives chances for the two of them to spend time together, hoping to make her master fall in love with her.

Xie Shiqiu needs a Demigod Fruit, so Song Jingqiu strikes a deal with him: he must pretend to be her husband for a day out in the mortal world.

Xie Shiqiu is short of Azurewood, so Song Jingqiu makes another deal with him: he must cook her a meal himself.

On one occasion, the two are trapped in an illusion and learn that he already has someone in his heart. Her scheme to make her master fall in love with her has failed, so Song Jingqiu decides to give up on staying alive. He can kill her or torture her as he pleases.

But when the Twin-Life Curse is lifted, Xie Shiqiu not only spares her, he treats her like a treasured jewel, as if she might shatter, and becomes ever more tender.

Upcoming Novel: I Bullied My Way Into Claiming the White Moonlight

1.

As Tu Xu lay dying, she thought back on her short life.

She had always been brazen, accustomed to getting whatever she wanted. There was nothing she couldn't have.

Except Xie Qingci.

Everyone in the aristocratic circles knew that the eldest daughter of the Tu family had fallen in love with Xie Qingci at first sight and declared she would win him over.

Even when Xie Qingci rejected her, she didn't give up, staying by his side.

But from beginning to end, Xie Qingci never once saw her.

Later, when the Xie family fell on hard times, they needed to arrange a marriage alliance with another family.

The Xie family sent Xie Qingci to Tu Xu.

The look Xie Qingci gave her remained as cold as ever.

Tu Xu thought: If I can't have Xie Qingci's heart, I can at least have him.

Xie Qingci said, "Tu Xu, you're a lunatic."

She spent her life entangled with Xie Qingci, leaving them both badly hurt. In the end, the only thing she could call beautiful was that absurd dream.

2.

Tu Xu is reborn three years in the past.

This time, she has come to her senses and decides to let Xie Qingci go.

Tu Xu avoids meeting Xie Qingci at the school anniversary, avoids gatherings of the aristocratic families, and avoids every occasion where she might see him again.

The rest of Xie Qingci's life has nothing to do with her.

She lets him go, and lets herself go too.

When they meet again, Tu Xu attends a friend's birthday banquet with a suitor, and everyone starts teasing them.

Then Xie Qingci appears.

Their friend introduces him: "This is the young master of the Xie family, Xie Qingci."

Tu Xu calmly raises her glass to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tu Xu."

Xie Qingci reacts with the same cool indifference as before. Even the beauty mark at the corner of his eye seems cold.

Later, a friend tells Tu Xu that the young master of the Xie family is so aloof, and wonders who could ever catch his eye and win his heart.

At the time, Tu Xu remembers how, after their "first meeting," Xie Qingci appeared at her door one rainy night. Like a defeated man surrendering, he bowed his head and said with red-rimmed eyes, "Tu Xu, I lost."

3.

"She swept into my life with all the confidence in the world, then left as carelessly and mercilessly as she pleased, leaving me alone."

Xie Qingci

But she falls in love with someone she shouldn't.

He is Qin Lian, the Sword Sect's junior brother, whose swordsmanship is peerless. He is aloof and otherworldly, indifferent to others.

When she hears that her junior brother's sword heart is troubled, He Yunshu gathers a Clearheart Fruit and gives it to him.

When she hears that her junior brother has been ambushed, He Yunshu hunts down the assailant to the ends of the earth.

And when she hears... He Yunshu ultimately becomes the greatest sinner in the history of the Lancang Sect.

He Yunshu never imagined that Qin Lian would become the one to destroy the Lancang Sect, while she would be his accomplice.

All because she once inadvertently revealed the sect's most prized treasure: the Annihilation Pearl.
