Gu Yanan, a good-for-nothing disciple of the Qingyun Sect, fakes his death while practicing his cultivation, only to unexpectedly come back to life in the middle of his burial. Not only does his aloof Sword Immortal dao companion, Lin Xueji, flip open his coffin lid, but he also catches her in the mortifying moment of confessing her love while crying at his grave! As it turns out, he was born with the destiny of a True Dragon, but his hypocritical master planted a Dragon-Locking Curse on him, transferring all his fortune to Lin Xueji. After learning the truth, Lin Xueji sacrifices all her cultivation in a desperate gamble to return his fortune to him. Gu Yanan instantly awakens at full power and crushes the villain with a single finger! He then burns his True Dragon fortune to save the heroine, embarking on an intensely sweet and satisfying journey of mutual devotion and redemption with the once-untouchable, icy Sword Immortal who has fallen from her pedestal.
