[Upright, noble senior sister x hypocritical, sinister, vile senior brother]
The Lingyun Sect has two stars: its senior sister, Bei Suxue, and senior brother, Lou Yangui.
The disciples of the sect all admire and respect them, looking up to them as role models.
Outsiders envy the Lingyun Sect for having two such prodigies. With two outstanding talents in one sect, its future must be bright.
But outsiders also know that Jiuhua Mountain and Chunqi Mountain are bitter rivals.
From the two thousand-year-old elders who fight at the slightest disagreement, to their first disciples who can't stand the sight of each other, the animosity runs deep.
With such internal discord, the sect is sure to tear itself apart in the end. The Lingyun Sect is nothing to fear.
Bei Suxue joined the sect one second after Lou Yangui, so technically, she's his junior sister.
But nobody dares mention it to her, unless they don't want to see tomorrow's sun.
Only Lou Yangui, heedless of his own safety, calls her "Junior Sister" again and again.
On the fifteenth of every month, the head disciples of the various peaks must gather at the Sect Leader's Peak for a heart-to-heart.
The sect leader values etiquette, so the disciples must greet everyone in order of seniority.
Under the sect leader's watchful gaze, Bei Suxue has no choice but to sit at the same table as Lou Yangui and humiliatingly call him, "Senior Brother."
Lou Yangui raises an eyebrow and drawls, "Junior Sister, I can't hear you."
People wonder why Bei Suxue hates Lou Yangui so much.
Thinking of his behavior, Bei Suxue frowns. "He's hypocritical, vicious, and two-faced."
Lou Yangui, passing behind her, stops in his tracks and makes a point of pausing. "The radiant and noble Junior Sister talks behind her senior brother's back, too?"
Bei Suxue instantly clenches her fist and draws her sword with one hand. "Let's fight!"

During one secret-realm expedition, Bei Suxue is afflicted by a love curse. There's only one way to break it: dual cultivation with someone else who's been cursed.
The next moment, Lou Yangui enters the cave, his expression uneasy and his ears flushed red.
When he sees Bei Suxue, he freezes. "Why is it you?"
Bei Suxue gazes at him with eyes like icy stars and sneers, "Wasn't this your doing?"
