Yingwei, the eldest young lady of Yujing Mountain, was trapped in a Passion Formation. In her confusion, she slept with her adoptive elder brother, the person she hated most.
When he woke up, the cinnabar mark on his arm was gone. Mortified, he wanted to die!
"My ruthless cultivation path is ruined now. I can only be Miss Qiao's dog. Are you satisfied, Miss?"
Yingwei was still caught up in the aftereffects, and mumbled dazedly, "I'm sorry. Then... I'll set you free..."
In an instant, Xu Lingyu's eyes nearly split with rage.
He had taken her, and they could leave marriage aside for now. But now she wouldn't even grant him the right to be her dog? What kind of world was this!

Yingwei knew she was the wicked female supporting character in a broken-engagement story, but she didn't care.
She was the eldest young lady of Yujing Mountain, radiant and headstrong all her life. No one could do anything to her.
Except Xu Lingyu: her adoptive elder brother, fellow disciple, fiancé, and the male lead according to the System. The person Yingwei hated most of all.
She hated how sly, arrogant, and cold he was. Since she was eight, he had stolen their father's attention and affection, and he was always going against her, interfering in everything she did.
Yingwei knew Xu Lingyu was sick of her too.
They couldn't stand the sight of each other. Not stabbing one another to death was practically a kindness.
But the System earnestly insisted that he would become incredibly powerful in the future, with plenty of women falling for him, and told her to keep her hands off.
Yingwei rolled her eyes and sulked. Why should she have to keep her hands off him?
When Xu Lingyu became a cripple, Yingwei knew he was about to follow the plot, turn his fortunes around, ascend to become an invincible Demon Lord, and live the good life surrounded by beauties.
Ignoring the System and her parents' objections, Yingwei insisted on breaking off the engagement.
The spirited young man crumpled in the little courtyard, his dark eyes glaring at her with hatred. Thin and gaunt, his cheeks were utterly bloodless, like the eerie will-o'-the-wisps at the foot of the mountain.
Yingwei swallowed, still a little afraid. She wrested the jade pendant away from him and ran, not daring to look back.
But later, with warm fragrance drifting in the air, Yingwei gazed into his feverish, blood-red eyes and saw the dark, obscure desire in his dreams.
The alluring figure in his dream was... her?

Xu Lingyu was born proud, willful, and used to having things his way.
From a darling of the righteous path to the supreme ruler of the demonic path, Xu Lingyu endured both scorn and admiration without a second thought. All he wanted was strength.
That was why he despised his adoptive father's daughter so much. She was naive and carefree, with no ambition, and sooner or later the ruthless cultivation world would grind her to dust.
He watched coldly as she walked step by step toward her doom. He would never make plans for her again. They had nothing to do with each other anymore.
And yet, in the end, he still recklessly went to hell for her.
After years of being seared by flames, Xu Lingyu finally understood.
Qiao Yingwei had been born to be his wife. No matter how much she despised him, after calling him Senior Brother for half her life, she would have to call him husband for the rest of it.
