[The Untouchable Beauty. A Brilliant, Stunning Sword Venerable Bottom X A Deranged Stalker. An Inhuman Heavenly Demon Top]
[The Scumbag Top Gets His Comeuppance, the Mad Second Male Lead Takes His Place]
[Sheng Chunfeng X Zhu Changjing]
At the Jinghua Sect, Sheng Chunfeng, the Changheng Sword Venerable, rose to fame at a young age. He possessed an immortal's grace and jade-like bones.
While saving his junior fellow disciple Cheng Shu, he was left disfigured, his cultivation nearly crippled, and his life hanging by a thread.
Half a month later, news spread from the Jinghua Sect that the Changheng Sword Venerable, Sheng Chunfeng, and his junior fellow disciple Cheng Shu had become cultivation partners, pledging to share their fortunes and longevity.

Sheng Chunfeng and Cheng Shu had known each other since childhood. They were about the same age and shared the same ideals, and Sheng Chunfeng had always believed they were inseparable. Becoming cultivation partners seemed only natural.
That was until Cheng Shu took on a new disciple.
He saw the naked desire in Cheng Shu's eyes as he stared at Zhu Changjing, a disciple under his tutelage. In Cheng Shu's study, he found him searching for a way to undo the cultivation bond between partners.
He heard Cheng Shu laugh scornfully as he spoke of him: "Someone who can't even lift a sword anymore wants to talk to me about swordsmanship?"
After pondering it all night, he tossed aside the jade pendant Cheng Shu had given him when they formed their bond and left the sect without a word.
But he was crippled, and as he left, he failed to notice that Zhu Changjing had run away with him.
Several days later, word spread through the cultivation world that Sheng Chunfeng had used a secret technique to abduct Zhu Changjing. The Jinghua Sect issued a massive bounty across the cultivation world, hunting for the Changheng Sword Venerable, Sheng Chunfeng.

The once-mighty Sword Venerable had fallen so low that everyone wanted him dead.
Then, as the infamous Sheng Chunfeng saved their lives at the cost of shattering every meridian in his body, his vast sword intent split the heavens and leveled a mountain peak. Sheng Chunfeng fell into the Demon Abyss and died before their eyes, his body and soul destroyed.
Only then did they recall the Sword Venerable who had once been so full of youthful ambition. They had witnessed what a genius was, and what it meant for a genius to fall.
Cheng Shu also believed Sheng Chunfeng was dead, because the cultivation bond between them had vanished without a trace.
He thought, he was just a cripple. So what if he died? How important could he possibly be to me?
For over a thousand sleepless nights, he was frantic, afraid, and full of regret.
*
With his immortal bones and spiritual roots, Sheng Chunfeng should have been torn apart by the myriad demons after falling into the Demon Abyss.
Filled with resentment, he closed his eyes and waited to die. But Zhu Changjing, who had fallen into the Demon Abyss alongside him and followed him every step of the way, suddenly laughed.
Sheng Chunfeng opened his eyes and saw a pair of horns growing from Zhu Changjing's head. Demons knelt all around them.
Covered in blood, Zhu Changjing wrapped both arms around Sheng Chunfeng's waist and gently rubbed him with the horns on his head. For the ninety-seventh time, he asked without tiring:
"Shiniang, will you form a bond with me today?"
Later, news that Sheng Chunfeng was still alive spread through the cultivation world, and many people came rushing to find him.
With his hair turned white, the Immortal Venerable Zhe Ling, Cheng Shu, tore open a rift into the Demon Realm. In the thriving Demon Realm, he saw his disciple embracing and kissing the partner who should have been dead.
