CompletedLian Qiang and Chi Xingji, childhood sweethearts, became husband and wife in their youth. The only imperfection was that Lian Qiang suffered an accident early on, enduring great pain and being unable to cultivate. The distance between them on the path of cultivation grew, so much so that Lian Qiang could only look up at him amidst everyone's envious gazes.
"It's okay," Lian Qiang comforted herself, "He will wait for her, and they will always go and return together." Until later, Chi Xingji was about to ascend. After ascension, he would surely sever all emotions and desires, abandoning all worldly ties. Amidst the roaring thunder, Lian Qiang for the first time softly pleaded with him, "Can you not become an immortal?"
It was her greed; she wanted to grow old with him, to be together forever. Unfortunately, the young sword cultivator never once looked at her. Later, hundreds of years passed, and Lian Qiang entered the demonic path. She reunited with Chi Xingji, sighing that he seemed just as he was back then.
But the young and handsome Celestial Master stopped in front of her, and the first thing he said was, "Excuse me, may I pass?" Lian Qiang felt that her time then… was truly wasted on a dog.
Chi Xingji had an unknown secret: he had always felt guilt for not having protected his wife in their early years. Watching Lian Qiang suffer daily from demonic corruption and torment, all he wanted was to cure her—even if it meant they would never see each other again, lifetime after lifetime.
