The ultimate cowardly duo.
Shen Yu, infamous for her countless misdeeds and vile personality, thought she'd be remembered with hatred for a thousand years.
Then one day, a serious illness jolted her into realizing that she was actually the villainess in a cultivation novel: she would commit countless atrocities, die without a body left behind, and have her core destroyed.
Determined to change her fate, she resolved to become a good person and atone for her sins.
When she saw Ji Yu, the junior brother she'd bullied until he was covered in wounds, Shen Yu nearly fainted.
Ji Yu was her henchman, a villain who didn't say much and acted ruthlessly. But he wasn't capable enough, and his death would be just as gruesome as hers.
For once, Shen Yu brought him medicine for his injuries.
She told him, "Don't lie flat. Fight back! A good life is in your own hands!"
But Ji Yu kicked the medicine aside and wiped his face with his bloodstained sleeve. "I'm scared..."
Shen Yu answered with a serious expression: No, you're not scared.
She brought him pills and secret techniques, asking only that he work hard and practice his cultivation arts.
She told him, "If you don't study, people will walk all over both of us!"

The male and female leads lived happily together in a peaceful world.
Shen Yu was just about to dust off her clothes and leave without a trace when she was told that the sect was surrounded by demons, and the only way to make them retreat was to hand her over.
Shen Yu: ...Seriously? I'm just a supporting character...
A young man in red stood like a pool of blood, with thousands of demon disciples gathered around him, showing him indescribable reverence and respect.
It was her dear junior brother, Ji Yu.
Ji Yu held his sword and smiled at her with a brazen, irreverent air. "A-Yu, come with me."
Shen Yu looked at Ji Yu, who was sweet on the outside but sinister within, and knew exactly how to play the part. No, thanks.
Ji Yu raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you tell me to work hard? How come after all these years, you're still just... a sect leader?"
Shen Yu: Wait, what's wrong with being a sect leader? Who are you looking down on?
