「An incredibly obtuse, seductive femme fatale x A beautiful, strong, and tragic “high mountain flower”」

Yu Huan transmigrated into a cultivation novel as a short-lived villain.

The man destined to kill her in the book is the Lord of the Punishment Prison of the Immortal Dynasty, Xie Wulei—the legendary “Living Yama” who possesses the beauty of a celestial being but the heart of a demon.

Before her crimes could even be exposed, she became his primary target for surveillance.

When she practiced her skills, he leaned against the door holding his sword, his gaze like thorns against her back.

When she retired for the night, he stood guard by her couch, his presence following her like a shadow.

Yu Huan: …My life is going to be short!!

Unexpectedly, the cultivation world was in an uproar: “Who monitors someone all the way to their bed? He must be trying to take the beauty by force! How shameless!”

As voices of condemnation rose and armies neared the city, Yu Huan had a sudden stroke of genius. She grabbed Xie Wulei’s sleeve and said, “Why don’t we form a Dao Companion Pact? It will silence the critics and make your surveillance of me perfectly justifiable.”

She thought: The status of a Dao companion will stop him from killing me. Besides, he practices the Path of Heartlessness; there’s no way he’ll ever touch me.

Xie Wulei gave a half-smile and declined several times before “reluctantly” agreeing.

But the moment they stepped onto the Intertwined Branches Platform, he didn’t even blink as he signed the most extreme version—the Life-and-Death Pact: to live and die together, an eternal bond that can never be broken.

Yu Huan realized something was wrong, but he only smiled: “Regretting it? Too late.”

Yu Huan: …It’s fine. He practices the Path of Heartlessness. Any pact is the same to him.

Later, Xie Wulei indeed didn’t kill her. Instead, he helped her cut down all her arch-enemies and cleared every obstacle in her path.

Yu Huan hid behind him, secretly enjoying the perks: The soul-reaping Yama has turned into a personal bodyguard. He’s powerful, wealthy, and celibate. Freeloading is the best!

That was until the battlefield, when the enemy general unleashed a trump card specifically designed to counter the Path of Heartlessness, only to find it completely ineffective against Xie Wulei.

The enemy leader collapsed: “You didn’t practice the Path of Heartlessness at all?!!”

Yu Huan, who was busy cheering for her Dao companion: “…?”

What happened to the “no emotions” part??

Legend has it that the high-and-mighty Judge of the White Jade Capital was once trapped by a phantom in a dream during his youth. Because of this, he could never master the Path of Heartlessness, becoming the laughingstock and “tr*sh” of his sect.

Later, he ascended to the pinnacle of the immortal path. The world said he had severed all past delusions, and no one dared to mention those old stories again.

He also thought that the rest of his life would pass without a ripple.

Until years later—

The figure from the depths of that lingering dream appeared alive before his eyes, standing right beneath the jade stairs.
