A story about a female villain who gets the white moonlight script, and an aloof beauty who gets the unrequited-love script.
Chi Shayue is the demoness everyone in the cultivation world wants dead. She's breathtakingly beautiful, venomous, and skilled at beguiling people's hearts.
The one person she can never win over is her mortal enemy, Jiang Yuzhi, the Lingqing Sect's aloof and proud senior disciple, who seems like a god.
Until she makes a careless mistake and "dies" at the hands of the righteous sects.
When she opens her eyes again, she's become Jiang Yuzhi's junior sister, the cherished white moonlight of the Lingqing Sect.
This time, she has the white moonlight script.
How could she pass up the chance to torment her mortal enemy?
She acts obedient, and after repeatedly "accidentally" dragging Jiang Yuzhi down with her, the corners of her mouth curl higher and higher.
Until one dark night, she sees her mortal enemy standing beneath the covered walkway, burning paper money in a brazier before him.
The flickering firelight falls on the boy's cool, handsome face, leaving his eyes half in shadow.
Amid the scattered paper money and dancing flames, Chi Shayue makes out the words written on it.
The bold, forceful script reads:
To my beloved Shayue.
Rarely taken aback, she looks up and meets Jiang Yuzhi's gaze, catching a glimpse of the obsession lurking beneath the ice.
His eyes pin her in place.
"How much longer are you going to hide?"
"Chi Shayue."

He remembers that afternoon. Her shadow fell across his sword, and from then on its blade began to rust. Light and dark, right and wrong, advance and retreat, all became blurred.
After that, everything in the world was nothing but the sound of the tide at her brow.
Content warnings:
1. The female lead did not actually die, and she will not replace the junior sister. The junior sister's whereabouts will be explained in the story. The female lead did not transmigrate in body or spirit.
2. The male lead is devoted to the female lead in both body and heart, and has only ever loved her. This bears repeating. Intimate scenes occur only after the female lead's identity is revealed, so rest assured.
