Xue Xian was born in the countryside, yet possessed the bones of an immortal and extraordinary spiritual energy.
She went from being unknown to protecting the world and dominating the Nine Continents in just ten years.
In those ten years, she slew countless demons, and not once did her arrows claim the wrongful life of one of her own kind.
But in the eleventh year, she killed someone.
A passionate, free-spirited, and unruly young man.
Xue Xian remembered that it was a brilliantly sunny day. The sky was beautiful, and the Star-Hiding Trees bloomed for a thousand miles beneath a magnificent sky.
Xiao Ciyan's blood splashed across half her body, so hot that she nearly lost her grip on her bow.
Before he died, he left her two final words.
The first was: "You don't love me at all."
The second was: "Liar. I'm going to kill you."
He didn't need to do it himself. Xue Xian was too badly wounded to live until the next day.
A hundred years after her death, she opened her eyes again to find a filthy, wretched evil spirit looming over her. It glared down at her and snarled, "From now on, you're my puppet."

After becoming the evil spirit's puppet, Xue Xian learned two things.
First, Xiao Ciyan had come back to life ten years before her. He was now famous throughout the world and had a fiancée who was considered his perfect match.
Second, the evil spirit was Xiao Ciyan's half-brother, born of the same mother but a different father. The two had a blood feud over their father's death, and the spirit was making puppets solely to take revenge.
Xue Xian: ...This is exhausting. Do I have to kill him again?
