The Unconventional Path

[Black-turned-white Ghost King x seemingly pure and aloof, secretly obsessive, top cultivator of the mystic sect]

After a failed ascension, the most powerful ghost cultivator, Mu Yan, became an ordinary mortal whom anyone could bully, all while the rival mystic sect hunted her with a kill order.

On the verge of tears, she set her sights on the sword of someone who could help her find her life-bound magical artifact.

The sword's owner was her sworn enemy and the mystic sect's shining paragon of righteousness, but recovering her powers was the top priority.

Mu Yan made full use of her fragile appearance, clinging to Li Kongqing and throwing tantrums so she could stay by his side.

But then things started to feel strangely off. Why did Li Kongqing look at her like there was a spark between them?

Mu Yan: "Immortal Master Li, aren't you cultivating the Heartless Dao?"

Li Kongqing: "I don't have to."

Mu Yan: "..."

Everyone said that Li Kongqing, young master of the Li clan, was handsome and elegant as an immortal, a leading talent among the mystic sect's younger generation, and the one most likely to ascend to immortality. He was also the hope of restoring the mystic sect to glory.

With a face as cold as ice, he kept his distance from women and devoted himself to cultivation, breaking countless girls' hearts.

But at some point, a rather plain-looking young woman appeared at Li Kongqing's side. She clung to him every day, and he didn't seem bothered by their frequent physical contact. In fact, he even looked indulgent, as if he enjoyed every moment of it.

Later, when Mu Yan's identity as the King of Ten Thousand Ghosts was exposed, the mystic sect forced Li Kongqing to kill her.

Before everyone's eyes, Mu Yan sat calmly on a raised platform and faced the attackers surrounding her.

Li Kongqing drew his sword and fought his way out with her. "A Yan, since you've made me fall for you, you can never let go of me for the rest of your life."
