Ye Chaowu was an ordinary mortal.
One day, while gathering herbs in the mountains, she accidentally got grabbed by a blood-soaked man who wouldn't let her go.
With no other choice, she took him home.
After she cared for him for a while, he recovered from his injuries and was about to leave.
Before he departed, he offered to repay her for saving his life.
He asked if there was any wish she wanted to fulfill.
Ye Chaowu gazed at his handsome, striking face
and, as if bewitched, nodded.
"I want you to marry me."
He said nothing.
Ye Chaowu thought he was going to turn her down, but then he coolly uttered a single word:
"Fine."
When she married Shen Fuyuan, her heart full of joy,
Ye Chaowu never imagined he was the foremost figure in his sect, famed for being born with a sword bone,
while she was nothing but a mortal with no spiritual root, incapable of cultivation.
In the hundred years after she was brought to Kunwu Mountain as the sect master's wife,
Ye Chaowu went from being filled with joy to growing increasingly indifferent.
In the end, all she wanted was to divorce Shen Fuyuan and live out her life as a mortal, aging and dying in the ordinary way.
When Ye Chaowu loved Shen Fuyuan, she wanted nothing at all.
She only wanted to stay by his side.
But when she stopped loving him, Shen Fuyuan refused to let her go.
His spiritual sword shattered, blood running from all seven orifices,
his white robes soaked through, just as he had been when Ye Chaowu first found him in a pile of corpses.
Once again, he clutched the hem of her skirt,
his dark eyes stained with something, refusing to let go even in death.
