In his previous life, Mo Bugui's greatest regret was showing mercy and being stabbed to death by that man in a frenzy of sword blows.
When he opened his eyes again, he was still the adopted son of the old master of the mountain manor.
Without hesitation, he set out to find his sworn enemy, determined to put him to death on the spot and eliminate the threat for good.
But he never expected that the man who had once been indiscriminate in his ideas of good and evil, and slaughtered innocents at will, was now only twelve years old, crying as he held his dying older sister.
His sister, Chen Yishan, was gentle and delicate, with breathtaking beauty. She should never have died, but she had been killed because Mo Bugui's fellow disciples fled with a demoness.
At last, he understood the man's hatred. It was because his sister had died at the hands of their fellow disciples.
To prevent history from repeating itself and help his sworn enemy find the right path sooner, Mo Bugui used forbidden magic to save his sister's life. As a result, he fell into her hands.
-
Once the forbidden magic is used, the person saved will fall helplessly in love with their rescuer.
By the time Mo Bugui found out, it was already too late.
He couldn't push her away. Under the spell's control, she was always trying to get close to him, and resisting could put her life in danger.
All he could do was accept Chen Yishan with a headache, soothing her emotions while searching for a solution.
They often spent tender nights together, earning him cold looks from his sworn enemy.
Mo Bugui was sure his death was near. Even when the urge to kill arose time and time again, he let the opportunity slip away at the sight of the young woman's pitiful eyes.
Gradually, his heart turned toward her, and he wanted to care for her for the rest of her life.
But Chen Yishan recovered and returned to normal. She stopped speaking to him altogether and began avoiding him.
He could only hold her hand to keep her from running away, repeating the words she used to say so often.
"Don't leave me. Don't you like me anymore?"
