There is true affection in the human world, there is true love in the human world.
No one can deny this.
The Zhou Family has had Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin as a pair of devoted lovers who, even now, still love each other deeply.
However, when expanded to the entire Cultivation Realm, the entire world, couples like Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin are among the very few such Dao companion couples.
Lives joined together, this is the mainstream norm among Dao companion couples in the Cultivation Realm.
For cultivators, a Dao companion is not only a husband (or wife) accompanying them for a lifetime, but also a fellow cultivator on the journey, a fellow Daoist who can offer mutual support, and a trusted family member.
Using "Dao companion" instead of "spouse" to refer to the other party is an expression in itself.
In summary, most cultivators, when looking for a Dao companion, prioritize not how much the other loves them, but how far the other can go with them.
