A streetwise, smooth-talking stray mutt x a lofty beauty who overthinks everything
[Reunion from the very first chapter]
Mu Xuecheng was the wicked woman everyone in Li Jing wanted dead.
Eight peaceful years passed in Li Jing after her death, but even death couldn't keep her quiet. Even as a ghost, she kept causing trouble.
The people of Li Jing went to Qianji Mountain and asked Sect Leader Chu, who had been in seclusion for eight years, to come out again and kill her ghost a second time.
Autumn moon, winter snow. The evil ghost returns.
But every case, every last one, led back to the same scoundrel.
Bai Qiqi: I was just passing by. Do you believe me?
Chu Jiezhi: ...Should I believe you, or believe that ghosts actually exist?
In the year he hated her most, Chu Jiezhi held his sword steady, every strike aimed straight at her heart.
In the year he killed her, his sword still missed by half an inch.
After Mu Xuecheng's body fell from the city wall, he instinctively chased after her. He reached out, but couldn't catch her.
He had cultivated an emotionless heart. After that, he went into seclusion for eight years and could never hold his sword steady again.
Until he met Bai Qiqi.
She was timid and tactful, couldn't fight or wield a sword, and was different from Mu Xuecheng in every way. And yet, she always reminded him of her.
Everyone thought Mu Xuecheng was dead. Only Chu Jiezhi, the one who killed her, knew she was still alive.
