Cursed by the World After Love’s Demise

During the ten years of confinement, I often recalled that distant glance I cast toward my senior sister while enduring the heavenly lightning punishment a cold, faint smile seemed to linger at the corner of her lips.

I never imagined my senior sister would despise me to this extent. Often, I grew so desolate I wished for death, yet I was bound by the thought of my aging mother still clinging to life in the mortal realm.

When Mother learned of my imprisonment, her heart shattered with grief. She would frequently entrust my cousin to deliver letters from home. Yet with each visit, my cousin would only add insult to injury, mocking me relentlessly.

I remember in our youth, my cousin adored me most, constantly pestering me to play with her. Mother even called her an incredibly stubborn little adhesive plaster.

But now…

Yet I cannot blame my cousin.

I suppose I can only blame myself. Who made me, a disciple of the Immortal Sect tasked with guarding the Demon Suppression Tower, foolishly fall in love with the demon saintess imprisoned within its walls?

Xuan Ying, Xuan Ying, Xuan Ying.

She deceived me, toyed with me, led me by the nose until, in the end, I stood alone beneath that scarred moon hanging over the wilderness, my heart still aching for her tragic past.

Ten years have finally come to an end.
