Tan Su grew up in a small village outside Huangquan City.

Her family had been farmers for generations. Although they were not wealthy, the family lived harmoniously.

Until her father’s generation, he grew tired of the monotonous life of farming and decided to become a martial artist. He moved to the neighboring Huangquan City and became a Martial Artist.

Her father was also quite talented and quickly became a Demon Hunter, joining the newly established Heroic Society and becoming one of its key members.

After her father joined the Heroic Society, he went on many missions, and the family’s living conditions improved quickly.

He brought Tan Su and her family to Huangquan City and even sent Tan Su to learn martial arts.

That period was the most carefree time in Tan Su’s life.

But good times didn’t last long. Tan Su’s father received an order to enter the notorious Qiulin Ruins with the old president.

About a month later, her father returned.

Young Tan Su heard that this time, the Heroic Society suffered heavy losses. Several uncles who went to the Qiulin Ruins with her father never returned.

At that time, Tan Su was only eight or nine years old, not understanding what it meant to never return.

She only knew that after her father returned, he had changed completely.

He no longer played with her as he used to but locked himself in his room, muttering incomprehensible words.

If family members tried to persuade him, he would become embarrassed and angry, lashing out, sometimes even getting physical.

Finally, Tan Su’s mother couldn’t take it anymore and secretly fled.

Tan Su’s grandparents wept every day because of their son’s abnormal behavior, and the Tan family’s situation worsened day by day.

Young Tan Su was very sad. Fortunately, the old president intervened and gave the Tan family some money. However, at the same time, the old president also suggested that due to Tan Su’s father’s instability, he should no longer participate in group activities with the Heroic Society, thus expelling him from the organization.

From that time on, Tan Su began to hate the Heroic Society and the old president.

It was because the Heroic Society and the old president had turned her father into a shadow of himself, causing her family to be torn apart.

After that, life for Tan Su’s family became even more difficult, and even some neighboring children would occasionally bully Tan Su, calling her the Madman’s daughter.

Soon after, Tan Su’s grandparents also passed away in a few days due to old age and exhaustion.

Young Tan Su could only secretly use the money given by the Heroic Society to buy two coffins and bury her grandparents.

But on the day before the elders’ funeral, Tan Su suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the place where the coffins were kept.

Gathering her courage, she went to check alone.

Little did she know, she would witness a scene she could never forget for the rest of her life.

She saw her father, who hadn’t left the room for a long time, not even on the night her grandparents died, hunched over.

He opened the coffins and, like a Wild Beast, devoured the corpses of his own parents.

Seeing that scene, Tan Su let out a startled cry.

She went mad, trying to escape.

But her father caught up with her and choked her neck, making it harder and harder for young Tan Su to breathe.

She didn’t want to die, not at the hands of her father, who had become a Demon.

She struggled desperately and, in the process, tore something from her father’s embrace before losing consciousness.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Tan Su did not die.

When she woke up, her grandparents’ coffins were gone, and her father was nowhere to be seen.

All that was left to her was a small handkerchief in her hand.

She recognized the handkerchief. It was the one her mother had personally sewn for her father before he entered the Qiulin Ruins.

The once snow-white and clean handkerchief was now covered with some words.

Young Tan Su looked at those words and suddenly realized that they were the same words her father had been chanting incessantly.

"Those words are a kind of mysterious mnemonic. With it, I discovered that there is a big secret hidden in the Qiulin Ruins. I also joined the Heroic Society, gained the old president’s trust, and obtained information about entering the Qiulin Ruins. I snuck into the Qiulin Ruins alone, passed the test, and found the secret of the Qiulin Ruins. I even killed my father and became the sole master of the Qiulin Ruins afterwards, as you already know."

Tan Su said this and opened her hands, indicating that this was her story with the Qiulin Ruins.

"Tan Su, you murdered your father and even killed the old president? He cared for you more than his own daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Qing was left speechless by feelings towards Tan Su.

This woman was truly a schemer, deceiving the entire Heroic Society and the deceased old president.

To obtain the secret in the Qiulin Ruins, she would stop at nothing.

This woman was terrifying.

"I admit that killing the old president was wrong. But who could I blame? I didn’t want to kill him, but he started to question my father’s cause of death. To protect myself, I had to kill him. And, Bo Qing, anyone can accuse me, but not you. I admit that everything I’ve done over the years was meticulously planned. But I was genuine with you, otherwise why would I have relinquished the position of the president to you? Everything I did was for you!"

Tan Su looked at Bo Qing with deep affection.

Ever since she experienced the upheaval and killed her own father to secure the right to inherit the Qiulin Ruins, her humanity was lost.

Until she met Bo Qing.

Bo Qing’s presence not only made Tan Su feel cared for, but also allowed her to experience the taste of love.

She wholeheartedly believed that as long as she was willing to step down to the vice president’s position to support Bo Qing, one day, Bo Qing would understand her intentions and remain with her forever.

But all of this was shattered by the arrival of Ye Lingyue.

Thus, in Tan Su’s heart, she hated Ye Lingyue.

This time, when they went to the Qiulin Ruins, her plan was to eliminate Ye Lingyue without anyone knowing.

But everything went wrong. She calculated everything except for Ye Lingyue. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"For me? Tan Su, everything you did was out of greed. You even killed your own father. In my eyes, you no longer deserve to be called a woman."

Bo Qing’s words were cold, each one like a sharp knife piercing Tan Su’s heart.

"Bo Qing, you treat me this way all because of her, right? What’s so good about Ye Lingyue? She already has another man. She doesn’t love you and never will!"

Tan Su was agitated, pointing at Ye Lingyue and Di Shen.

"So what if she has another man? I love her, and that has nothing to do with anyone else."

Bo Qing said this and took a deep look at Ye Lingyue.
