Revision update: Reworking the plot outline.
I'm sorry for delaying the launch. See Weibo for my apology. I'll start this after I finish Marking the Frail, Widowed Omega Sister-in-Law by Mistake. I won't change the schedule again. Thank you for understanding, and I hope to see you then.
#Gentle, deceptively dark older shijie seme X clueless blockhead
#Both leads are each other's first love; xianxia, uke protagonist, age gap with a touch of raising-up
#Fated reincarnation; endlessly fighting the plot to save someone
#Contains forced-love scenes. Happy ending. Please don't read if that's not for you.

Ling Xiang transmigrates into a book and is about to die from the start, but a streak of clear swordlight saves her.
Her savior is beautiful and aloof, dressed in white, as cold and pure as snow. Yet she gently covers Ling Xiang's eyes.
"Don't be afraid."
Later, Ling Xiang changes her name to Liao Xiang and sets out on the path of cultivation.
As soon as she passes the trial, she recognizes her benefactor and lunges forward to hug her leg.
She never expected her savior to be Zhai Yan, the heroine, the future number one in the cultivation world and the destined favorite of the Heavenly Dao.
She's decided to cling to this powerful ally!
*
Their master spends most of the year in seclusion, so Liao Xiang's shijie is the one who teaches her to cultivate.
After spending a long time together, Liao Xiang realizes that her beautiful shijie is only cold on the outside and warm on the inside.
She patiently teaches Liao Xiang how to use a sword, guiding her every step of the way. She also often stays up late to help with her cultivation, leaving them no choice but to sleep side by side.
Liao Xiang thinks her shijie feels something special for her, too.
So she follows the original story, searching for treasures for her shijie, taking a blade for her, and driving away her unwanted suitors. But in the process, she accidentally discovers her secret.
The cold and aloof senior sister has a white moonlight she can't forget.
*
No matter how hard she tries, Liao Xiang can't claim a place in her shijie's heart.
She stops trying to force it.
Just then, a little Sumeru realm that can transport her through time and space opens. Determined to return home, she leaves a letter and all her worldly possessions behind and says goodbye to her shijie.
Zhai Yan, who has always been as cold as snow and ice, suddenly smiles. Her fingertips dig into her palm until blood streams down, but she seems not to notice.
"All right. If this is goodbye, how could we part without a drink?"
Liao Xiang drinks the wine her shijie offers as a farewell. When she wakes, her shijie is standing protectively before her, sword stained with blood. The demon cultivator who tried to ambush them has been killed.
As Liao Xiang stares in shock, a sword tip presses against her throat. Strange demonic markings creep across Zhai Yan's beautiful, cold face as she smiles and asks,
"Little shimei, where do you think you're running?"
*
Zhai Yan becomes the new Demon Venerable.
In the demonic palace, behind soft red curtains, sobs ring out.
Zhai Yan lifts Liao Xiang's chin with slender, pale fingers. Tears fill Liao Xiang's eyes, and red marks cover her body.
The chains around her wrists rattle as she pushes Zhai Yan away, her voice hoarse.
"You lunatic!"
Zhai Yan doesn't care that Liao Xiang resists. She wipes the blood from the corner of her lips and smiles.
"Yes. From the moment I fell in love with you, shimei, I've been mad."

Unfortunately, there are too many bad people, and little Pei keeps getting injured in battle.
Meanwhile, her shijie's robes are half-undone, her gaze shimmering.
"If shimei loses, no one else will be able to protect me. In that case... I'll have to trouble you."
