A seemingly sweet but secretly ruthless female lead who plays dumb to outwit her enemies * a genius sword cultivator male lead who is utterly devoted to her
1.
Xie Jingyun's meridians are damaged, leaving her with no hope of advancing on the Great Path. Her master dislikes her, and she is left to fend for herself in a remote courtyard at Canglan Sect.
That is, until a messenger crane brings word that the Xie family has found their missing young master.
They say the Xie family's young master is nothing like his supposedly useless older sister, and is a peerless prodigy.
The first time Xie Jingyun sees Chen Yu, she knows the rumors are wrong.
Chen Yu cannot possibly be a member of the Xie family.
2.
Chen Yu strikes a deal with the Xie family matriarch and pretends to be the Xie family's young master.
Others praise his extraordinary talent and dazzling brilliance.
Only Chen Yu knows that he is nothing but a despicable thief.
He stole everything from Xie Jingyun.
So he tries to make it up to her.
He secretly has people deliver the sect's precious pills and medicines to her.
When Xie Jingyun is injured, he waits until she is asleep and personally purifies and strengthens her meridians and bones.
When Xie Jingyun asks him to overthrow the Xie clan in his capacity as its young master, he willingly becomes the sharpest blade in her hand.
Xie Jingyun takes everything for granted, until one day, stripped of all her cultivation, she is tied up by her parents and sent off to marry the young master of the Yin family.
Amid ten miles of red wedding finery, Chen Yu, covered in blood, staggers over and cuts the ropes binding her. His hoarse voice is full of remorse. "I came too late..."
"I'm sorry I let you suffer."
He dies in Xie Jingyun's arms, never knowing that she enters the demonic path in a single thought, and from then on becomes exactly what he had hoped she would be.
She soars to the heavens and rises to the clouds.
No one can ever bully her again.
And no one will ever love her as selflessly as he did.
3.
From the highest heavens to the deepest depths of the underworld, they say the city lord of Fengdu is neither human nor ghost: white-haired, with shadowy red eyes, like a Rakshasa demon.
Chen Yu bears a sword bone, but his foundation is weak. Like a child carrying gold through a crowded market, he is being hunted by his enemies in a wretched state when, amid a shower of flowers, a woman in red drifts down. Her blood-red eyes smile as her soft hand wipes a fleck of blood from his cheek.
The woman smiles brightly. "Do you remember..."
"We once held a wedding ceremony..."
The leads are unrelated by blood. There's a little melodrama, but it's actually a sweet little story!
Theme: Grow even in adversity
