[Soft-hearted, aloof senior sister x Younger sister who has always secretly loved her, seemingly innocent but secretly cunning]
Xie Yilan did all sorts of awful things to Ming Tang.
It was only because Ming Tang had admired her for a long time and asked her mother to arrange a marriage so they could become Dao companions. From then on, Xie Yilan held a grudge against her.
On a rainy autumn day, she made Ming Tang kneel on the ground and repeat over and over that she loved her.
In the sweltering summer, when she was weary to the bone, she made Ming Tang run around in the heat and sweat, all to pick the finest jasmine blossom for the woman she loved.
On a cold, lonely winter's day, she fled from the ceremony Ming Tang had eagerly awaited, eloping with the woman she loved and leaving Ming Tang alone in an empty bridal chamber.
Ming Tang sat in the darkness until dawn.
She secretly vowed never to love Xie Yilan again.
Then, a month later, Xie Yilan suddenly came back and asked her with a cheerful smile, "Ming Tang, didn't we get married?"
Ming Tang: "...Who are you?"
Xie Yilan had loved Ming Tang, the sect leader's daughter, since childhood.
She admired Ming Tang's graceful figure when she danced with a sword and loved the defiant look in her eyes when she stood up to the powerful.
Night after night, she even dreamed of sweet, intimate words exchanged between them.
Then one day, she overheard someone say that she and Ming Tang had become Dao companions.
How could she not know about something so important?!
Xie Yilan rushed to Ming Tang as fast as she could. The woman before her had a cool expression, yet an indescribable fury burned in her gaze.
Ming Tang: "My Dao companion is dead. Who are you?"
Xie Yilan: "Dead? I'm right here. Who said I died?"
Ming Tang gave her a cold glance. "On the night of our wedding, I hacked you to death with my sword."
Xie Yilan: "!!"
What's happened to my wife?!
