Ji Qifan was an unremarkable nobody who transmigrated into a cultivation world and became the favored target of a family-killing murderer.
This kind of favor was not that kind of favor. That's right, the disguised murderer splashed her with a load of filthy, blood-soaked slander.
Ji Qifan: ...I'm feeling conflicted.
The innocent cannot prove their innocence, so she set off on a journey to find the culprit.
The good news: She had a deep connection to the immortal path and exceptional innate talent.
The bad news: Ever since her debut, scandals had clung to her like a shadow.
The culprit was in the world's number one immortal sect? Ji Qifan stood at Qingluan Sword Sect on Cloudwinding Mountain. How about that?
The culprit was an inner disciple of the sword sect? Ji Qifan claimed the top spot in the sect's trials. How about that?
The culprit was powerful in the Dao? Ji Qifan had a spiritual bone from birth. She trained day and night, and eventually severed the culprit's hamstrings and Achilles tendons. How about that?
The only surprise was that she and Xie Yuan remained evenly matched for a long time at the top of the sword rankings.
As it happened, Xie Yuan's true form was a bird. Through a twist of fate, he formed a spirit pact with Ji Qifan, and the two couldn't stand each other. Whenever one went east, the other was sure to head west.
After fighting for a while, their cultivation and swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, yet they always ended in a draw.
That was until their master told them that one had yet to overcome an emotional obstacle and the other had yet to overcome a killing obstacle. They would need to have their memories removed and undergo trials in the mortal realm.
Everyone in the sword sect, including the two of them, thought that in this trip to the mortal realm, Ji Qifan would overcome her emotional obstacle and Xie Yuan his killing obstacle. After all, compared to the lively and adorable junior sister, the junior brother Xie Yuan, who was as hard to thaw as ice all day long, seemed more likely to have a killing obstacle left unresolved.
But in reality, Ji Qifan led armies into battle, wiped out millions of enemy soldiers, and ascended the throne as emperor, seated in state with a body full of killing intent. Xie Yuan went from a shadow guard to the greatest strategist in the world. He used himself as bait and risked his life to help Ji Qifan achieve her ambition of unifying the realm.
The sword sect disciples: ...
Well, would you look at that? The whole sect had been fooled. It turned out that sworn enemies could end up becoming a devoted couple!
