Synopsis

In the martial world, Ling Tian Palace is a powerful yet reclusive sect, known for its ambiguous stance between good and evil. Ten years ago, the young palace master, Ling Xuan, encountered a dying pair of siblings during her travels. In exchange for saving the sister, she made a ten-year pact with the brother, bringing him into the Shadow Sect of Ling Tian Palace for training. If he could survive and graduate after ten years, he would become her ally.

The boy, after enduring countless life-and-death battles, emerged from the Shadow Sect as Ying Shi. However, by this time, Ling Tian Palace was rife with crisis. The old palace master, in his quest to seize the Wanxin Jue technique from Ling Xuan's mother, was willing to wreak havoc in the martial world, even turning against his own daughter. To protect herself, Ling Xuan had to disguise herself as a wayward, ruthless wastrel while secretly plotting her counterattack.

Just then, Ying Shi arrived by order of the Shadow Sect to find Wanxin Jue, coming to Ling Xuan's side. Through suspicion and testing, they faced numerous dangers together and eventually became trusted confidants. Yet, just as they began to fall for each other, Ling Xuan uncovered the unspeakable secret of Ying Shi's origins...
