After Confessing to My Heartless Daoist Senior Brother

Loose-tongued but thoughtless, black-hearted junior sister vs. taciturn but caring, leader of the righteous path, emotionless-path senior brother

Wen Liqian loved Lu Fuxue very much in her previous life.

Lu Fuxue was mad and obsessive, always watching her from the corners with a damp, sticky gaze. Unlike anyone else she had met, his almost pathological love thrilled her endlessly.

But Lu Fuxue was also the one who opened the Gate of Life and Death, releasing countless resentful spirits and ghosts and throwing the Three Realms into chaos. The first to bear the brunt was Wen Liqian's sect, Mount Cangwu.

Not one of Mount Cangwu's nine thousand disciples survived, and the mortal world became a living hell.

Wen Liqian held her sword and died with him.

Countless pear and crabapple blossoms fluttered down, carpeting the ground. Wen Liqian suddenly thought of her long-unseen senior brother, Su Tangji, and remembered him standing amid a rain of falling petals as he said to her:

“Immortals and ghosts follow different paths. In the end, you and he will come to nothing.”

Reborn, when Wen Liqian once again felt that damp, sinister gaze, like a venomous snake's, she looked up and smiled faintly at the senior brother walking toward her, then confessed sincerely, “Senior Brother, I like you.”

What she did not know was that one sentence was enough to make her senior brother's emotionless cultivation path crumble piece by piece.

*

Su Tangji had liked someone for a very, very long time. He liked her so much that, to help her mend her Dao heart, he was willing to destroy his own spiritual roots and become a cripple.

Then he watched helplessly as she used that heart to love someone else.

His junior sister was wonderful in every way, except that she had questionable taste. But it did not matter. If she liked someone, he would help them be together.

Unexpectedly, one day his junior sister stopped him and confessed. Her words were sincere, but there was plainly no love in her eyes.

He blurted out, “Junior Sister, don't joke. I cultivate the emotionless path.”

But in the middle of the night, his junior sister came to his room clutching a pillow, crying so hard she looked like a rain-soaked pear blossom. “Senior Brother, I'm afraid to sleep alone...”

This cool and detached leader of the righteous path fell silent for a moment, then stepped aside to let her in.

*The heroine is reborn. The hero's unrequited love becomes mutual. The hero did not cultivate the emotionless path in his previous life.

*The second male lead is an evil ghost, completely deranged. He destroyed the heroine's sect to possess her completely. His ashes are scattered.

*The heroine has no heart at all [in the literal sense]. In her previous life, she loved no one and only cared for thrills. In this life, after gaining a Dao heart, she will fall in love with the hero.
