There is a shameful secret in the cultivation world, passed around among the great clans and families: women of the Jiang clan are cultivation treasures. Eating their flesh and drinking their blood can remake one's constitution, while using one as a cultivation vessel can greatly increase one's spiritual power.
Jiang Leying is the last Jiang woman in the world.
Before he died, her father secretly entrusted her to Huan Linyan.
"Aman, Jiang women have no aptitude for cultivation and cannot protect themselves or survive alone. The Huan family may also be a great clan, but they are born with sacred bodies and have no need of the Jiang women's help. Huan Linyan is an upright gentleman. If you rely on him, your father can die in peace."
Jiang Leying is an obedient daughter. She changes her appearance and quietly marries into the Huan family.
Just as her father said, Huan Linyan is a noble and honorable gentleman. He is quiet, but reasonably considerate.
After they marry, they live a peaceful life for a long time.
Until one day, Jiang Leying belatedly realizes that Huan Linyan seems a little different from before...
-
Everyone knows that Huan Linyan is the best swordsman in the cultivation world, but no one knows that he was even more skilled at divination as a child. His readings never failed, and he could hear the will of Heaven.
One day, he casts a divination for his wife and unexpectedly foresees that a deadly calamity is approaching.
Huan Linyan frowns. His wife is timid and delicate, coveted by so many people, and deeply in love with and dependent on him. How will she survive if he is gone?
Before the calamity arrives, Huan Linyan uses half his spiritual power to fashion a puppet with a face identical to his own, and sends it to Jiang Leying to protect her in his place.
But Huan Linyan is not fated to die. After three years, he narrowly escapes the deadly calamity with his life barely intact.
When he returns home, the "Huan Linyan" he made with his own hands is biting his wife's lip, its gaze toward him brimming with murderous intent.
It turns out the puppet has quietly developed a consciousness.
It wants to take Huan Linyan's place at Jiang Leying's side.
