When the mountain rose spirit Ling Yuefu first took human form, she defied her clan's rules and secretly descended the mountain to visit the mortal world. She yearned for the warmth and bustle of ordinary life, and hoped to uncover the supreme opportunity to become a god, whether human or demon.
The Three Realms are governed by strict divisions, and humans and demons follow different paths. People fear and hunt demons. The demon-hunting families wield powerful magical artifacts and authority, second only to the imperial house. They exterminate demons and uphold the ironclad laws passed down through generations.
Pure-hearted and kind, she had no wish to stir up trouble. But after rescuing someone on the street, she met Yu Shuxia, a noblewoman from one of the great families who was poisoned and teetering on the brink of death. From then on, she was drawn into the schemes of the mortal world.
