Honored Master above

Su Yueyao was the least favored junior disciple of the Kunlun Sect. Her master Lucian Vane had taken her in merely to settle a debt of gratitude. The secret she had buried for thirteen years was completely exposed one night after drinking—she had developed a forbidden obsession with her aloof, transcendent master. Enraged, Lucian Vane made her kneel outside the hall before the entire sect. She drew her sword and slit her own throat, blood spattering the ground on the spot. Now the peach blossoms bloom and wither, and every year Lucian Vane visits that peach tree to pay his respects. Yet there he meets a girl named Seraphine Coldwell, wearing around her neck half a jade pendant identical to the one hanging at his waist.
