share time: 2026-02-23 00:42:55

Lin Xuan, the most promising swordsman from Qingqiu Mountain, was moments away from ascending to immortality when he was corrupted by inner demons—losing all power and crashing back to the mortal world. He hid in a broken temple, barely surviving, until a girl in red burst in: Su Wantang, daughter of the nation’s top general, holding an imperial marriage decree and calling him "husband." She knew his identity as a cultivator and claimed to be his "fated woman" who could help rebuild his sword heart. Lin Xuan thought it was a farce—until Su Wantang fended off assassins chasing him and pulled out a broken sword: his gift to her in a past life. "I’m reborn," she said. "You died saving me last time; this time, I’ll protect you." Forced to fake a marriage to stay hidden, they investigate the mastermind behind his failed ascension. As they grow closer, Su Wantang’s warmth slowly melts Lin Xuan’s icy heart—unaware a greater danger lurks nearby.
