Jiang Zhuyue, a penniless Sword Venerable, was ambushed and ended up possessing the body of her nemesis's disciple.
Her nemesis was a celebrated and noble Immortal Venerable in public, but only she knew how ruthless and vengeful he was.
To protect her secret identity, Jiang Zhuyue had no choice but to mooch off her nemesis's sect for cultivation resources while diligently acting the part of a well-behaved, obedient disciple.
She thought she could keep living peacefully like that, until one day she learned from two of her senior disciples that the body she'd been searching for was actually in his possession.
Jiang Zhuyue was shocked: Damn, so he's a pervert too?
To get her body back, she picked an auspicious day and snuck into his cave abode in the middle of the night, only to be caught. In a panic, she pulled out her life-bound sword.
After that, her nemesis started looking at her with hostility.
Jiang Zhuyue: Uh-oh, I'm busted.

Xie Qingyi had hated Jiang Zhuyue all his life.
He hated that she didn't care about her own life, that she wouldn't listen to him, that her heart held all the people of the world but couldn't make room for him.
Until one day, the soul lamp he had lit for her went out. He rushed there like a madman, only to bring back a cold body.
He hated her even more, hating that she could leave him all alone without a care.
He tried every method under the sun to bring back her soul, but nothing worked.
Then, just as he was about to go join her, that familiar sword appeared in the hands of his barely-noticed disciple.
At last, he smiled, but as he smiled, he began to cry.
He thought, at least Heaven hadn't treated him too badly.
Wonderful, Jiang Zhuyue. Now you'll never be able to repay what you owe me, not in a thousand lifetimes.
