Shen Fuqiu was the son of the Xuantian Sect's guardian elder. He was noble and carefree, full of youthful ambition. Clad in green and wielding his Greenfrost Sword, he could annihilate demon beasts with a laugh. People called him the Young Master Greenfrost.
Before the grand competition organized by the various sects, someone ambushed him and sent him crashing into the mortal world.
The mortal world was thin in spiritual energy. Only after paying a tremendous price did he manage to return to his sect, where he discovered that an unfamiliar young man had taken his place.
The impostor used his name and his sword, called his father Dad, and was patiently taught swordsmanship by his master. He got along with Shen Fuqiu's fellow disciples and had taken over every part of his life.
Shen Fuqiu couldn't accept it. He struggled to drive the impostor out and put this absurd situation back the way it was.
As soon as he made a fuss, everyone turned on him.
His father scolded him for being ungrateful. His master sighed that he had misjudged him. His fellow disciples mocked him for having fallen in cultivation and said he was unworthy of his title, that handing it over was for the best. His sword severed their bond in front of everyone and flew to the impostor to form a new pact.
In full view of everyone, Shen Fuqiu was expelled from the sect. His father said he needed to learn his place and sent him to his family's home in the mortal world, where he wouldn't have to see him.
With his foundation damaged, there was no way back. Shen Fuqiu calmly accepted the marriage alliance his family had arranged and married a mortal.
The mortal loved him dearly and found all sorts of ways to treat him well. Shen Fuqiu decided that spending his life as a loving couple with him, in quiet contentment, would be fine.

Ever since transmigrating, Yin Yuefei had been playing the fool in the mortal world while secretly building an empire across the cultivation realm. He held the lifelines of sects both great and small, as well as those of cultivation clans.
When his family informed him that they had arranged a betrothal for him, he laughed arrogantly. He was destined to reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world, so he went to break off the engagement.
The moment he saw Shen Fuqiu, he changed his mind. Wasn't this the wife fate had chosen for him?
Not only did he move up the wedding date, he also planned to visit his wife's former sect after the wedding and make it clear who had claimed him.
On their journey, they happened upon an auction.
Something that could restore a damaged foundation? Buy it. A fruit that could increase cultivation? Buy it. What was that, one of the ten great swords? Buy them all and let his wife play with them.
The disciples from the various sects in the private boxes were green with envy and grinding their teeth.

The good-for-nothing who had been driven out of the Xuantian Sect years ago was back. People had heard that he'd given up on himself and married a mortal. Everyone was waiting to laugh at him.
His former master and fellow disciples couldn't bear the news of his marriage. They went mad with rage, demanding that Shen Fuqiu divorce him, and even secretly tried to kill Yin Yuefei.
After leading them on like a cat tormenting a mouse, Yin Yuefei finally brought them before Shen Fuqiu and put on a pitiful act as he complained.
For the first time, Shen Fuqiu drew his sword against them, all for the sake of a mortal. A mere mortal!
They glared at him, eyes nearly popping out of their heads.
