> Love's Rebellion Recap

For thousands of years, beyond the vast seas of the mortal realm, many sects have emerged in the cultivation world. Among them, the Lunar Sect is considered orthodox in seeking the path of immortality. Nan Yan is a female disciple of this sect, renowned for her mastery of poison and healing, earning her the title of "Master of Deadly Poisons. " The sect is divided into three peaks and six halls, with over a thousand disciples, many forming factions.

Due to Nan Yan's low spiritual power and reclusive personality, she is often ostracized. One day, fellow disciple Chu Jing trespassed into Nan Yan's courtyard, setting fire to the Zhu Rong flowers she had meticulously cultivated for two years. Unexpectedly, when exposed to heat, these flowers released toxic fumes, quickly poisoning Chu Jing.

Out of compassion, Nan Yan had her pet scorpion Xiang Xiang suck out the toxic blood from Chu Jing's body and then used medicinal steam to remove most of the toxins. Although this act was misunderstood by senior disciple Fu Lang and the sect leader's daughter Meng Ying, Nan Yan's intention was also to punish Chu Jing. That night, the canyon market was brightly lit and bustling with people.

Rumors spread about Emperor Shao Cang's descent into demonic ways, killing his fellow disciples. It was said that Shao Cang was once expected to become the next Xuan Zai, but was captured by Xuan Zai Ying Zewei and imprisoned in the Soul River Water Prison, only to miraculously escape, leaving his whereabouts unknown. At this moment, Shao Cang sat alone in a corner of the market, silently listening to the surrounding gossip, drinking to commemorate lost friends.

He then left with a long sword on his back, brushing past Nan Yan, leaving only a faint connection. Years ago, Master Ji Ming of the Divine Confession Sect used the anti-demonic technique "Seven Sins Manual" to sacrifice himself and defeat the Demon Lord Sen Luo in the northern region, bringing peace to the world. Ji Ming's deed was remembered by later generations, who built statues and temples in his honor, venerating him as a deity.

The "Seven Sins Manual," a text of supreme power, transformed into a spirit talisman and vanished after Ji Ming's sacrifice. Now, Shao Cang has committed the grave crime of killing his fellow disciples and was expelled from Dao Sheng Tian by his master. To clear his name, Shao Cang seeks the Seven Sins Manual, which are said to identify demonic nature, and heads to the northern region.

Zhu Sui, the enforcement elder of Dao Sheng Tian, leads disciples including Ma Rui to pursue Shao Cang, but Shao Cang's cunning allows him to evade capture by disguising himself as Ji Ming, exploiting people's reverence for the deity. Meanwhile, Nan Yan is preparing to go to the Filthy Valley at midnight to gather Zhu Rong grass. She unexpectedly witnesses Elder Yu Yong of the Evil Path killing Dao Sheng Tian disciples.

Yu Yong, ranked fourth among the Five Ghosts of the Evil Path, has unfathomable demonic power, which frightens Nan Yan. She attempts to slip away but is noticed, nearly losing her life. Coincidentally, Shao Cang arrives at Filthy Valley while searching for the Seven Sins Manual and secretly assists Nan Yan in repelling Yu Yong, leading Nan Yan to mistake him for Ji Ming's spirit.

During the battle, Shao Cang's old injuries resurface, causing him to fall unconscious, and he is saved by Nan Yan. Seeing Shao Cang in his blue and white daoist robe, with a handsome face like a crescent moon, Nan Yan feels an attraction. Discovering he suffers from a heart condition similar to her mother, Nan Rao, she decides to keep him as a test subject for her research.

Nan Yan binds Shao Cang with ropes, under the pretext of using poison to cure his ailment, and confines him. To prevent Shao Cang from escaping, she exaggerates the severity of his condition, promising to take care of his daily needs, and sets up a barrier to restrict his spiritual power. Shao Cang recalls his old injuries from his master's punishment and the torture of the Soul River Water Prison.

He plans to find the Seven Sins Manual and expose the mastermind behind his suffering. Just as he prepares to leave, he notices a basket containing a demonic creature, attempting to intervene but is stopped by Nan Yan. This action enrages the demonic creature, causing Nan Yan's demeanor to change suddenly, as if controlled by another force, with red light flashing on her forehead. She mutters, claiming to be the "Karma Talisman.

"When Shao Cang enters Nan Yan's consciousness, he discovers the demonic creature is the spirit talisman he has been searching for, which Nan Yan accidentally absorbed. The spirit talisman tells Shao Cang that if he can take it out of her consciousness, it will recognize him as its master. To escape, they must wait until the next evening at Xu time and perform a spirit extraction ritual.
