The Mystic Ancestor's Partner Is a Poor Little Thing in Showbiz

Xuan Jin appeared at the entrance to Qingjue Hall, covered in blood and holding his natal sword in one hand. In his other arm, he guarded the Netherworld Flower as if it were a priceless treasure.

Not long before, Tantai Jue, master of Qingjue Hall, had been gravely injured while protecting his beloved and urgently needed a Netherworld Flower to heal.

But the Netherworld Flower grew in the Netherworld, a place forever steeped in demonic energy, where the delusions and obsessions of the Three Realms gathered. It was the one place immortals must never set foot. A moment's wavering of the heart was enough to make an immortal fall to demonic influence.

Tantai Jue would rather die than let his beloved risk his life for him.

Yet, knowing all this, Xuan Jin disregarded his own safety and ventured into the Netherworld alone. After narrowly escaping death time and again, he returned with a Netherworld Flower for Tantai Jue.

Shen Jiheng couldn't imagine how deeply Xuan Jin loved Tantai Jue. Even knowing Tantai Jue already had a beloved, Xuan Jin was still willing to risk his life for him.

It was a love Shen Jiheng had never dared hope for, not even in his dreams. Seeing Tantai Jue covered in wounds and blood made Shen Jiheng's heart ache until he could barely breathe. He couldn't help walking over to check Tantai Jue's injuries, only for Tantai Jue to coldly brush his hand away.

Tantai Jue wouldn't even spare Shen Jiheng a glance. He strode into Qingjue Hall, intent only on bringing the lifesaving medicine to the person he loved most as soon as possible.

Shen Jiheng didn't dare hope that Xuan Jin would love him even a fraction as much as he loved Tantai Jue. He only hoped he might stay by Xuan Jin's side and tend to his injuries.

But Xuan Jin coldly refused, unwilling to give him even the chance to care for him.

Shen Jiheng didn't know how many days and nights he spent waiting outside Xuan Jin's hall. At last, he heard that Xuan Jin had made it through the danger period.

Shen Jiheng begged once more to see Xuan Jin, but was met with the same cold refusal. At last, he understood: perhaps Xuan Jin wasn't truly without feeling or desire. It was just that he had given every bit of his tenderness to Tantai Jue, with not a fraction left for anyone else.

Shen Jiheng knew he came from a lowly background and wasn't worthy of Xuan Jin. Besides, Xuan Jin had saved his life. If he truly loved him, he shouldn't make Xuan Jin feel burdened by that love. Otherwise, it wouldn't be repaying a debt of gratitude, but harassing him.

Shen Jiheng didn't know how to stop loving Xuan Jin, so in the end, he threw himself into the Reincarnation Platform. Perhaps if he spent one lifetime shedding tears for him and enduring every hardship, he would no longer love him.

Then, he would be able to repay his debt of gratitude without asking for anything more...
