Qing Jiyue harbors deep adoration for her master, Qing Lanxue. But after her junior brother Nie Jun reports their secret bond, she is sentenced to five hundred years of solitary confinement in an icy cave.
Over centuries of longing, floating bullet comments from another world suddenly materialize before her eyes. Through them, she learns her master has long returned her love, yet shunned their feelings, tangled by the rigid master-disciple hierarchy. Her all-consuming infatuation, the bullet screens mock, is nothing but the obsession of a love-struck fool.
The snarky commentary and plot spoilers jolt Qing Jiyue into stark clarity: a forced love bears no sweetness. The cultivation world brims with handsome cultivators—there is no need to fixate on just one man.
When her confinement ends, Qing Lanxue holds a disciple recruitment ceremony, breaking his vow to take only her as his sole female pupil. This final betrayal lets Qing Jiyue cast aside her lingering affection entirely. Only then does she notice the hidden warmth surrounding her: her eldest senior brother Ciyu, who stood by her faithfully for five hundred years, brimming with quiet fondness yet clumsy at showing care; Nie Jun, the junior brother who once turned her in, now gruff yet soft-hearted, burdened with untold hidden hardships.
Armed with her cheat power of foreknowledge from the bullet screens, Qing Jiyue unravels countless schemes and advances her cultivation swiftly. She evades her master’s belated remorseful pursuit, teases her gentle eldest senior brother, and tames her tsundere junior brother. No longer blinded by one-sided infatuation, she blossoms into an unruly, unmatched phoenix sovereign on the path of immortality. As for a life partner? Only the one who truly suits her heart will ever be worthy.
