I Broke My Master's Heartless Path

The first time Mu He saw her master was on a day of heavy snow.

At the time, she was being hunted by a demon. A flash of swordlight suddenly appeared.

The demon died in an instant.

Under the cold moonlight, Mu He raised her eyes and saw the person who had saved her.

He stood upon his sword, dressed in white as pure as snow, with breathtaking features. The cinnabar mark between his brows, a sign of the Unfeeling Dao, was as vivid as blood. He seemed like an exiled immortal beneath the moon.

Snowflakes settled on the young man's long lashes, but his expression was even colder and more indifferent.

He said flatly, "This place is dangerous. Mortals must not enter."

Without waiting for her response, the swordlight drifted away.

-

Mu He fell in love with him at first sight.

So when she learned that he was the Sword Venerable of the Chunyang Sect, she braved every danger and entered the sect's admission trials, all for the chance to see him again.

Fortunately, she was accepted as his disciple, and he taught her personally.

Unfortunately, she couldn't restrain her feelings for him. During an illusion, her thoughts were completely exposed, and everyone found out.

Mu He could never forget how her master looked down at her from above and coldly uttered two words: "Absurd."

After that, she was assigned to another master's disciples.

-

Because she harbored improper feelings for her master, Mu He became a disgrace to the sect.

Only then did she learn that her master had taken her in because she possessed demonic bones and, fearing they would be discovered, he was the only one who could suppress them.

After learning the truth, Mu He went mad from cultivation deviation. In the end, the disciples of the righteous sects surrounded her at the Cliff of Severed Love and killed her.

When Mu He opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day she was to take a master.

She looked at the man on the high dais, who kept everyone at a distance, and finally gave up on him completely.

So when he indicated that she should become his disciple, she parted her lips and said softly:

"I refuse."

At her words, the person on the high dais moved his lashes slightly.

"A Tale of a Cold Beauty Going Mad for Love"

"A Clear-Headed Heart Sinks into Restraint, and the Unfeeling Dao Fails Its Exam"

"Basically, I loved you when you didn't love me, and when I stopped loving you, you fell for me. It's melodramatic, but sweet too. Trust me."
