[There Will Be a Plot Where the Top Dies and the Bottom Goes Mad] [The Bottom Loves Deeply] [Happy Ending]
Mu Shijin transmigrated into the body of a poor young man with nothing but four bare walls, living hand to mouth with his eight-year-old sister. Every day was a struggle.
With his savings dwindling, he had no choice but to go back to his old line of work.
By chance, he found a white-robed man who was gravely injured and had lost his memory. The man looked distinguished, surely rich or noble, so Mu Shijin sold off his belongings for money and told him, “From today on, you’re under my management. If I say east, you don’t go west.”
The man had lost his memory, but he wasn’t stupid. This fellow was clearly a mercenary, petty person. Still, he nodded and agreed.
Mu Shijin grew used to having the man around, and the two became increasingly close.
Who knew that when Mu Shijin returned home after buying back the man’s belongings, his little sister would tell him that the man had regained his memory and left?
Mu Shijin felt a deep sense of loss and carefully put the belongings away for safekeeping.
Four years later, his sister was chosen by an immortal sect for her Heavenly Spiritual Root and began her path of cultivation.
Missing her, Mu Shijin crossed mountains and valleys just to see her once.
The sect’s senior disciple mistook him for a lecher harassing his junior sister and beat him until he was gravely injured.
It was their first reunion in four years.
By then, the man was Xue Chengyuan, the immortal sect’s favored senior disciple, while Mu Shijin was merely a mortal with no spiritual root.
The gulf between them broke Mu Shijin’s heart. Once he recovered, he left the mountain without alerting anyone.
They met for the second time when Mu Shijin was exploring an ancient tomb and Xue Chengyuan was ordered down the mountain to investigate the source of the deathly aura.
Unlucky enough to be struck back by the deathly aura, Mu Shijin saw Xue Chengyuan running toward him as he reached the end of his life.
He asked Xue Chengyuan to look after his little sister, then breathed his last...
They met for the third time in Mu Shijin’s second year as a demonic cultivator, when Xue Chengyuan and Mu Shijin’s little sister, now a grown young woman, came to exterminate the evil.
He didn’t dare show them his face, so he shaped the black aura into a mask and put it on.
Mu Shijin didn’t want to hurt them. After fighting them several times, he was defeated, and Xue Chengyuan’s sword shattered his mask.
Two cries of shock rang out:
“A Jin!”
“Brother!”
He closed his eyes and thought, good and evil cannot coexist. It seemed he really couldn’t escape death...
Bonus scene:
Seeing Mu Shijin die before his eyes, Xue Chengyuan’s eyes nearly split with rage. He went on a killing spree and nearly succumbed to demonic cultivation.
Fortunately, his master sensed something was wrong in time, sealed his sea of consciousness, knocked him unconscious, and took him back to the sect.
After waking, Xue Chengyuan drifted through life like a walking corpse.
It wasn’t until he saw Mu Lin that he showed a trace of life again, and finally managed to pull himself together.
From then on, no one in the entire sect dared mention the name “Mu Shijin” in front of Xue Chengyuan.
