I’m the Only One in the Sect Who’s Free of Desire

In her previous life, Su Ling was proud and arrogant, heedless of the saying that a poor youth might one day rise to greatness. She trampled on the sincere feelings of an innocent junior fellow disciple who had fallen for her. A century later, the man came back for revenge, just as she should have expected. The day he “invited” her to his bedchamber, he angered her to death. When she was reborn, she was given another chance to start over. Though she hated Xie Zhi, she obediently went to apologize to the bastard. “Did you come here to laugh at me?” The boy, bruised and battered, looked at her with a trace of hatred in his eyes. At that moment, Su Ling felt a chill under the man’s icy stare. With her junior sister fanning the flames, Su Ling’s kindness came across as fake. Xie Zhi looked at her with nothing but hatred and disgust. He even had another woman at his side, and he threw away the medicine she gave him. Su Ling: Her fists were clenched, but she held back. Once I’ve won you over, I’ll say goodbye for good. But she only piled up more sins as she tried to make amends. Su Ling realized with a sinking heart that she had not only wronged Xie Zhi, but that he looked at her like a resentful husband abandoned with their child. Like a wronged husband, Xie Zhi traveled over mountains and rivers at last to find the silver-tongued woman. When she appeared before him, one sentence shattered all his hopes: “You think you’re worthy?” Xie Zhi laughed bitterly at himself. He should have known all along that she was a heartless woman. His wholehearted devotion had been soaked through by her mockery and ridicule. He was just like an abandoned stray dog. He took revenge on her, destroyed her faith, reclaimed what belonged to him, and tried to ruin her pristine, pure image, dragging her down into the same mire as himself
