[Stubborn, Cold-on-the-Outside, Warm-on-the-Inside Junior Sister & Fake Gentle, True Carefree Senior Brother]
[1]
Lin Changli meets someone unlike anyone else.
The proprietress of the Tinglan Bookshop in Yunxi Town looks exactly like his junior sister, who vanished many years ago!
But she has no spiritual power at all, and there’s a little girl by her side. His junior sister was a peerless genius with a smooth path of cultivation. She could never have crippled her spiritual roots to have a child. Who is this woman?
His days spent recovering from his injuries are dull, so he decides to pay her a visit. If she really is his junior sister, he’ll tear whoever did this to her limb from limb.
When he approaches, she looks at him with unfamiliar, distant eyes. “May I ask your name, immortal master?”
Lin Changli lets out a long breath of relief. She really isn’t his junior sister. He would rather she be living freely somewhere far away.

The proprietress is as cool and distant as his junior sister, but the daughter she raises is warm and adorable. He loves finding excuses to hover around her.
As time goes by, he notices something strange. “Where’s her father?”
She gives him a blank look. “Dead.”
He leans against the counter as if he has no bones. “Liar.” Then he says in a slick, teasing voice, “Did that bastard dump you? I’ll help you get revenge.”
She scoffs.
“What? Afraid I can’t beat him?”
She simply turns and walks away, leaving him with nothing but her cold back.
How boring.

It takes him a long time to realize that the proprietress really is his junior sister, and that the bastard he keeps saying he wants to kill is...himself.
Even worse, he’s tired of pretending to be the gentle, refined senior brother and First Sword Sect’s greatest swordsman. Taking advantage of the fact that no one in this border town knows him, he’s let himself go completely, and she’s seen every bit of his carefree, roguish side.
He doesn’t dare imagine how his junior sister, who once secretly admired him, sees him now.
