Qi Yeran, sixteen years old, a prospective inner disciple of Kunlun Xu, a sword genius, and a top-tier candidate for the Emotionless Path. During recruitment season, an elder from the Hehuan Sect fooled him with a single sentence: "Our Hehuan Sect's Emotionless Path is the true one—to see through the gates of passion is to let your sword pierce heaven and earth." Thus, he was tricked into going up the mountain. On his first day in the sect, looking at the curriculum featuring "Basics of Seduction," "Secret Arts of Dual Cultivation," and "Love Bug Refinement," Qi Yeran's hand holding his sword trembled slightly. He wanted to leave. The Sect Master said: "Want to leave? Sacrifice your sword bone first." He couldn't leave. Three years later, nineteen-year-old Qi Yeran has become the most eccentric existence in the Hehuan Sect—wearing the flashiest robes, maintaining the coldest face, and practicing the fiercest sword. Every day, his inner mind hosts a "Hehuan Sect Roast Session" eight hundred times over, while on the surface, he only has one word: "Scram." He was scammed into coming here, he is trapped, and he is forced to wear rose-red earrings, carry twin-lotus sachets, and wear pink-toned silk robes. But he gradually began to realize that those chatty senior sisters, the little disciples who secretly learn the sword, and even that smiling scammer of a Sect Master... Seemingly, they aren't that annoying after all?
