He is the eldest young master of one of the top families in the supernatural world.
She is the little miss of another top family in that world. Stolen by her family's enemy as a child, she was abandoned at an orphanage.
They were both taken to an uncharted island. He was ten, and she was five.
When they first met, she was weak and exhausted. She gave him a radiant smile, then fell unconscious.
When she woke, he was by her side.
From then on, he cared for her and protected her as a group of children trained and lived together on the island.
She said she wanted to catch up to him.
His heart softened, and he smiled. “Little girl, just because you're young doesn't mean you can say things like that without taking responsibility.”
He gave her a jade pendant symbolizing her place as his wife and the mistress of his family, because the jade was imbued with spiritual power and could help her cultivate.
But the pendant merged with her, and from then on, their fates were bound together.
After they had lived on the island for some time, members of his family joined forces with the families of the other captured children and found the island. They clashed fiercely with the island's forces.
A torrential storm and tsunami struck during the battle, and he lost her.
He searched the sea desperately for ten days and nights, but found nothing. He eventually fainted and was taken home by his family.
Ten years later,
she was little more than an adopted daughter in a third-rate secluded family.
The family sent her into a perilous place where few survived, hoping to get their own disciple into a top academy.
Before setting out, she resolutely severed ties with them.
She survived the perilous ordeal through sheer determination. Later, someone recognized her potential, and she earned a place at a top academy.
There, she met him again.
They saw each other, but neither recognized the other.
Someone framed her, making her out to be a shameless woman trying to seduce him.
When she saw him, she cried out joyfully, “Brother Chu!”
But he seized her by the throat, his eyes as dark as those of the grim reaper in hell. “Only one person is allowed to call me Brother Chu. You don't deserve to.”
Her little face flushed red, and tears streamed down her cheeks. How could her Brother Chu treat her this way?
Ignoring her tears, he curled his lips into a wicked smile. “Do you know what happens to people who try to seduce me, Chu Xiaoming?”
She shook her head, staring at the stranger before her.
“Then I'll tell you. They die.” He suddenly tightened his grip. Her slender neck constricted, and in the next instant he would have snapped it.
Just as she thought she was about to die, he stopped. “If I kill you here, you'll dirty my territory. I hate filthy things like women.”
Then, before her disbelieving eyes, he flung her away without mercy. She crashed through the window and fell from a hundred-meter-high building.
At that moment, her heart turned to ashes, and she lost all will to live.
But somehow, she survived without a scratch.
Afterward, she tore him from her heart by sheer force, leaving it bloody and raw.
Much later, he finally realized that she was the very person he had been searching for all along.
He wheedled, “Feng Ling, it's been ten years. I miss hearing you call me Brother Chu so much. Will you say it again?”
She didn't even lift her eyelids. “We're on top of a four-hundred-meter building. I can't promise I'll walk away without a scratch if you throw me off again.”
His gaze darkened. Before she could react, he did exactly what he had done to her: he burst through the window and jumped from the four-hundred-meter building.
She cried out in alarm, “Brother Chu!” and leaped after him.
