Everyone knows that Shi Wuxiang is the foremost practitioner of the Path of Ruthlessness: aloof, distant, and immaculate as a being beyond the mortal world.
Yet after a hundred years of cultivation, he has still failed to uncover Heaven's secrets and attain immortality.
Then one day, a strange number appeared in Shi Wuxiang's mind.
Ascension progress: 99%
After much thought, Shi Wuxiang concluded that the only thing left was to resolve his worldly karma.
So he ended his seclusion and descended the mountain in search of a fortuitous encounter.
On his very first day, he casually rescued a lotus demon named Lianqing.
The youth flung himself into his arms with red-rimmed eyes, trembling slightly with fear. His jade-like neck gave off a sweet fragrance, and the red mole between his brows was breathtaking. His slender frame could be wrapped in one arm.
"Revered one, save me!"
Shi Wuxiang's heart stirred.
At last, the strange number began to change.
Ascension progress: -1
Shi Wuxiang: ?
-
How could his ascension progress go backward?!
The matter was far too strange. Shi Wuxiang had no choice but to keep Lianqing by his side and observe the lotus demon in secret.
When Lianqing slept, he would secretly bury himself in the mud.
Ascension progress: -3
When Lianqing got angry, he would wrap himself up in his enormous petals and refuse to see anyone.
Ascension progress: -10
Lianqing suddenly kissed him.
Ascension progress: -50
Then, after an accident sent Shi Wuxiang and Lianqing into a secret realm together, they spent a year as a loving married couple.
When they emerged, he glanced at the progress bar.
Ascension progress: 0%
Shi Wuxiang: …
Lianqing stammered beside him: "Don't worry. I'll take responsibility for you."
Shi Wuxiang sighed, instinctively drew Lianqing into his arms, and buried his face in the crook of his neck.
The progress bar he'd worked so hard to build began changing again:
-1-1-1-1-1-1…
A tsundere master of the Path of Ruthlessness as the top x a lotus spirit who plays dumb while hiding his cunning as the bottom
#An old flame catches fire and burns out of control#
#Lianqing: (breathes) Shi Wuxiang: So cute#
#They'll both ascend in the end, don't worry#
