After Being Entangled by the Aloof Taoist

Monsters run rampant, and chaos reigns over the world. Sui Anlan is a firefly butterfly demon who has cultivated for a hundred years, finally taking human form thanks to a stray strand of spiritual energy. Through a twist of fate, she enters the Medical Cultivation Sect at Mount Jun, becoming the personal disciple of an elder. Immortals and demons tread different paths, and the laws of Taoism stand strictly between them. She originally assumed their paths would never cross again. Yet, during an experiential journey down the mountain, her destiny becomes tightly entangled with his. Together, they venture into the mortal world, stepping onto a treacherous and unpredictable path. Facing life and death side-by-side multiple times, he witnesses her innate goodness despite being a demon, while she glimpses the hidden, secret side beneath his cold exterior. However, standing between them is an insurmountable chasm of identity. Not until the catastrophic fall of Mount Jun, when the forces of the Blood Massacre Bureau lay siege to the city gates, does their resolve show: he stands with his sword drawn to defend the sect’s gates, while she uses her medical skills to save all living beings. He holds the world in his heart, destined to become the leader of the immortal sects; she has grown accustomed to life and death, wishing only to heal every suffering soul in the world. In the end, carrying her medicine bag, she walks across tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, becoming the “Medical Immortal” praised in folk tales healing both humans and demons alike. Meanwhile, he accepts the Sect Leader Order, standing atop the immortal realms as a revered master of the righteous path protecting the mountain, and guarding his own heart. Two separate paths, destined never to cross again. Yet, the disciples of the Zhengqing Sect could never understand why their Sect Leader always sits alone on the mountain peak on bright, moonlight nights, staring blankly at the starry sky. Mo Yumian is an exceptionally rare sword-cultivation prodigy, born once in a century. By nature solitary and unsociable, he is as proud and unyielding as frost and snow. He despises evil with a passion, yet holding his Demon-Slaying Sword, he personally conceals her demonic aura for her. At first, he regarded her merely as a child. He never expected that the path of “love” would prove so treacherous and arduous. At the moment of their parting, he told himself that although they were no longer walking the same road, at least their hearts remained connected. Later, he heard from disciples returning from down the mountain that they had encountered a divine female doctor wearing a veiled bamboo hat. Fastened at her waist was a jade pendant one that closely resembled the Qingxuan Jade Pendant of their own sect, as recorded in their ancient texts. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: After Being Entangled by the Aloof Taoist — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
