Sword Cultivators Don't Follow the Ruthless Path

(1)

Wen Mian: I wanted to cultivate the Heartless Dao in earnest, ascend to immortality as soon as possible, and live a carefree life as an immortal. But my master deceived, hurt, and used me. My senior brother envied me, framed me, and cursed me. My sect abandoned me and tried to wipe me out.

I had no choice.

I could only fight my way back.

The disciples of the immortal sects had all the show and none of the skill.

Wiping them out was easy.

Except for one person:

Yan Xia Qiu, the new disciple of Wen Rutang.

They fought for three years, going from disliking each other at first sight to fighting until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled.

Neither could claim victory.

Above the Endless Sea, Wen Mian pointed her sword at Yan Xia Qiu.

"Draw your sword. You're the only person in this world worthy of being my opponent."

As she lay dying, Wen Mian saw that the sword in Yan Xia Qiu's hand was pointed at himself.

After Wen Mian defected from the immortal sects,

the elders of the various sects declared: "Yan Xia Qiu, go down the mountain and capture the traitor. Kill her on sight. No need to report back!"

Yan Xia Qiu went down the mountain with his sword.

The first year:

Yan Xia Qiu: That bold-looking girl from the Academy of Plants? She doesn't seem easy to deal with.

The second year:

Yan Xia Qiu: She says I'm fierce, boring, and full of flaws in my swordplay.

But she says the birthmark on my face looks nice.

I admit it. I kind of like her.

The third year:

Yan Xia Qiu: Do you all really have to get in my way just when I'm about to pursue her?!

Winning her over is what matters most!

The young man cut down his romantic prospects with a single sword and ascended while still young, but he did not enter the Heartless Dao. He fell in love with a traitor to the immortal sects.

On the day of the great battle between the sects, Yan Xia Qiu stood beside Wen Mian, his sword pointed at the immortal sects.

The immortal sects: ?! Did the Haitang Sect raise a bodyguard for the traitor themselves?!

Somehow, the immortal sects lost a traitor, while Yan Xia Qiu gained a cousin!

Wen Mian: I refuse to be his cousin!! I want to be his ancestor! Do you understand? His ancestor!

Loving someone is like tending a flower.

This is the story of an ugly little monster who nurtures herself into a flower fairy for love.

**Chaos and monster-slaying (including killing yourself)/plainspoken cultivation fantasy/silly quotes.

**Rebirth and transmigration into another body; former enemy becomes cousin. Both leads are highly skilled fighters.

The heroine has a bad temper and solves problems with a fight. She's not a good person.

The hero is good-tempered, but blind. He won't be a good person in this life, and he's no saint.

**Coming of age | ensemble cast of young people | unrequited love from the hero | the ending depends on how things go.

**Plot-focused, with a complicated web of relationships.

**Not a power-leveling story | not a revenge fantasy | not tagged "strong female lead" | full of headcanons and made-up nonsense, so please don't take it seriously.

**Thanks for reading.
