Description:
Tang Wenchun transmigrated into a book, only to be stabbed to death by a woman and her sword.
Only later did she learn that she had transmigrated as the heart demon1 of Yu Zhaoming—the protagonist’s master and the Sword Sect’s Immortal Venerable2 of the Ruthless Dao3.
According to legend, from the moment this Sword Sect Immortal Venerable entered the path of cultivation, she had cut down her heart demons at every turn, her cultivation rising past the clouds without ever encountering a single bottleneck.
And Tang Wenchun was that very heart demon—the one repeatedly slain to serve as a stepping stone for the powerhouse’s legendary rise.
She had thought about getting along with her; she had even thought about becoming her friend.
Yet in the end, it was no match for those few words: slaying the heart demon to attain immortality.
Tang Wenchun was furious. Since you claim I am your heart demon, then this time I will truly become your heart demon and shatter your Ruthless Dao!
Later, Tang Wenchun shattered Yu Zhaoming’s Dao heart4 and faked her death to escape.
And later still, rumors spread through the world that Yu Zhaoming, the leader of the righteous path, hated heart demons above all else, wielding her long sword to slay countless demons.
Tang Wenchun tossed down her wine cup and laughed, “Does the Immortal Venerable wish to kill me?”
With reddened eyes, Yu Zhaoming held Tang Wenchun close. “Don’t leave. I beg you.”
“I don’t believe the words of a Ruthless Dao cultivator,” Tang Wenchun said.
Yu Zhaoming replied, “Who said I follow the Ruthless Dao?”
