Immortal Venerable Gu Changyuan ascends to pursue the Ruthless Dao, severing all seven emotions and six desires and turning them into a heart demon. The heart demon falls into the mortal world, inheriting all of the Immortal Venerable's memories, along with the feelings he suppressed for three years for his cultivation partner, Jiang Tang. Rather than cultivate immortality or kill, the heart demon goes straight to Jiang Tang's home to cook for her, wash her clothes, and repair her doors and windows. Starting with a bowl of overcooked noodles, he uses the simple warmth of everyday life to gradually melt away the emotional chill Jiang Tang has endured for three years.
