Synopsis:
★★
She is Ming Ye, a renowned, cold-hearted assassin from “Ghost Prison” in the twenty-first century. She has no idea what love is and lives only to kill. No one has ever seen her face; anyone who does winds up dead. After dying unexpectedly, her soul falls into another world.
“He” is Jun Buhui, the beloved prince of the king of the Yaoyao Kingdom on the Xuanzun Continent. He has poor eyesight and is good for nothing. After kissing the wrong person one day, he is pushed into a lake and drowned.
★★
This is a world that worships strength and respects only the strong.
The Xuanzun Continent is divided into the lands of the Yaoyao Kingdom to the northeast, the Langyue Kingdom to the west, and the Shengtian Kingdom. To the south lies the Demonic Beast Forest, and few people have ever ventured into its heart.
Everyone on the Xuanzun Continent can be tested once they turn seven:
Those who can absorb any of the elements of wind, water, fire, earth, wood, ice, lightning, darkness, or light can become Elementalists.
Those with strong bodies and clear meridians can become swordsmen and train in martial arts.
Those with powerful spiritual energy may become highly respected artifact refiners or beast tamers.
★★
In this world of demonic beasts and survival of the fittest, what will happen when the ailing prince meets the cold-hearted assassin?
★★
In her previous life, she believed herself powerful. She killed with nothing but her physical skills, and never even had a chance to use that thing called intelligence.
In this life, you think my poor social skills and low intelligence make me an easy target? If I want you dead, I don’t need to use my brain.
★★
“I’ve done so much for you. Can’t you give me your heart?”
“I have a heart, but why should I give it to you?”
“Can’t you see how good I am to you? All I ask for is your sincerity!”
“If I have to give my heart to everyone who treats me well, then how many people owe me their lives? Should I cut out my heart for them all?”
★★
“You really have to be so cold?”
“You’re asking for too much.”
“Too much? Ha! You cold-hearted woman!”
“My cold heart is my greatest virtue.”
★★
In the past, “he” was born with poor eyesight. He never learned martial arts or trained in elemental powers, yet could identify a beauty by her scent from a hundred paces away. He loathed himself and did every foolish thing imaginable.
Reborn as “he,” he takes up the martial arts from his previous life and trains his sword energy. With elemental spirits as his companions, he quietly becomes a seven-element Elementalist envied by all. He forms a soul pact with the Hell Beast of the Purgatory Ghost King, and his eyes transform into those of the undead, able to cast all living beings into the Soul Refining Hell.
★★
From then on, he covers his eyes with black silk and carries a pair of swords called “Blade of Destruction.” Within his inner soul sea lies the supreme elemental staff, the “Shadowflame Staff.” Countless people across the world go mad for him.
The heroine is cold and ruthless, never a Mary Sue, and travels the world disguised as a man~
