A heroine who only wants to be the best in the world and doesn't want a shred of true love x four male leads: a stiff, daddy-like type, a tsundere peacock, a gloomy, devoted dog, and a lofty ice-cold beauty.
1. Because of a debt of gratitude between their families, Huai Yu became Immortal Lord Ming Jue's fiancée and gazed up at him cautiously. But even as she lay dying, she never saw Ming Jue come to marry her. Only then did she understand that she was merely a tiny stumbling block on his path to ascension, destined to be discarded.
2. After being reborn, Huai Yu learned her lesson the hard way. To hell with her fiancé! From today on, she only wanted to be the best in the world, not a shred of true love. If she let people walk all over her again in this second life, she might as well bang her head against a block of tofu and die.
To grow stronger, Huai Yu made use of everyone she could.
Ming Jue's father, Immortal Venerable Ming Jing, is the leader of the immortal sects and peerless in swordsmanship. Bring him on!
Ming Jue's good friend, the Lord of Bixiao Palace, excels at refining pills and medicine. His pills can double one's spiritual power. Bring him on!
Ming Jue's arch-enemy, the Ghost King of the Sin Domain, has countless rare treasures, and is said to be able to destroy heaven and earth. Bring him on!
Huai Yu deceived one person after another. Today, she told Immortal Venerable Ming Jing, "I learned swordsmanship for your sake," and successfully became his disciple. Tomorrow, she'd tell the Lord of Bixiao Palace, "I could die without regret if I got to take one of your pills," then swiftly make off with one. After that, she'd sweet-talk the Ghost King: "In my heart, you're the most powerful of all," and walk away with a pass to the Sin Domain.
3. After being reborn, Ming Jue remembered Huai Yu waiting in the city for him, refusing to leave even until her death. He couldn't help softening toward her. So be it. Even if he didn't love her, he'd honor their engagement, marry her, and take good care of her.
But the Huai Yu who used to do everything she could to cling to him seemed like a different person. She never came to see him again.
At first, Ming Jue was relieved. Later, though, it began to bother him. Huai Yu was praised for her swordsmanship, and all she could look at was Immortal Venerable Ming Jing. She won the first plum blossom of winter, but gave it to the Lord of Bixiao Palace. During a trial, she ran into the Ghost King of the Sin Domain, who rested his chin in her palm and asked, "Why did it take you so long to come see me?"
Ming Jue couldn't take it anymore. Why was Huai Yu willing to get close to everyone except him? Why did she act as if he didn't exist?
Looking at Ming Jue, who had come to find her, and then at the Lord of Bixiao Palace and the Ghost King of the Sin Domain, who were poised to fight, Huai Yu said casually, "Then get in line."
Ming Jue lost his composure for the first time. "I'm your fiancé! Tell those men to get lost."
Huai Yu answered with complete sincerity, "Should your father get lost too?"
