Yu Miaoyin is the only direct disciple of the 108th-generation head of Qingyun Temple. Her master is eighty, while she is only eighteen.

Her master had lived in seclusion on Mount Qingyun for decades. Recently, he made a divination and discovered that a major event was about to occur in Gang City: Chen Jia Zhen, the third master of the prestigious Chen family, was close to death. His life or death was tied to the fate of Huaguo, so her master sent her down the mountain to help him.

But after she came out of her master's room with the betrothal contract in hand, it belatedly dawned on her that the old man might have tricked her.

Her master had gone traveling, and the temple had already been requisitioned by the state. With nowhere else to go, she could only set out to find her future husband...

Late at night at the Chen family residence in Gang City, the handsome man lying on the ornately carved bed in the master bedroom furrowed his brow. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead as he murmured unconsciously, "No, no, I can't die yet..."

When he awoke, he stared at his wrist for a long time, finally confirming that the black line had crept a little farther down.

Eight years ago, a master who was on good terms with his mother's family told him that his life would be in danger within ten years. A recent physical examination had confirmed the prediction. The doctor said he had at most one month to live. As the black line gradually spread, his life was nearing its end.

But he wasn't willing to accept it. He hadn't uncovered the truth behind his mother's death yet, and the Chen family still owed him an explanation...

Little scene 1:

Yu Miaoyin had finally managed to meet the legendary Third Master Chen.

Looking at the handsome man before her, almost entirely shrouded in black energy, Yu Miaoyin sighed, "I thought my master was tricking me, but I didn't expect you really are going to d, " Before she could finish, the handsome man covered her mouth and ordered someone to drag her away.

That night, Third Young Master Chen noticed that the black line on his wrist seemed to have receded a little.

Little scene 2:

The betrothal contract only said she was promised to an unmarried, single man in the Chen family. Big Brother Chen was biased and wanted his son, who had just turned eighteen, to marry Yu Miaoyin. He never expected all three people involved to firmly object.

Chen Jiming: "I'm already dating the campus belle. I don't want to marry this Taoist nun." Taoist nuns are so conservative, and I'm dating girls to get physically affectionate with them. There's no way I can marry her!

Chen Jia Zhen: "She looks like a fraud. I'd better keep her by my side so I can keep an eye on her." She's my only chance to extend my life. How could I hand her over to someone else?

Yu Miaoyin: "I like older men. I think Third Uncle Chen would be a better choice." His black energy is thick, but so is his purple aura. To me, he's practically a perfect tonic.

In the end, thanks to the three of them working together, Yu Miaoyin became Chen Jia Zhen's fiancee.

Big Brother Chen: If this girl really has skills, then after Third Brother Chen dies, my son can marry her. It'll be the same either way.

Yu Miaoyin's advertisement corner:

Young man, you think it's true love? Actually, it's the Heart-Tethering Art at work!

Don't believe what I'm saying? No problem, the Rewind Projection Talisman will replay the real scene!

Young man, why are you angry? So what if you saw people cultivating together? There are plenty of other fish in the sea!

Everyone who's been wronged, come this way! Master Yu will answer your questions, with honest service and no deception!
