Turning to Dust in the Mortal World

Use your countless threads of affection to make me fall in love with you, and I will trade my eternal realm for your undying soul!

Cheng Haofeng painstakingly planned everything, willing to betray the Dao and become a demon, all so he could be a pair of immortal lovers with the one he loved.

Hu Xianxian had no idea how long he had waited or how much he had done. She developed a misunderstanding of him that she could never shake. By the time she understood his feelings, he had already died, body and soul.

Cheng Haofeng finally became the person his master had hoped he would be. She could only wander through the mortal world, using laughter, curses, and banter to soothe the loneliness in her heart.

With his countless threads of affection torn away, Cheng Haofeng would never again be troubled by love. He was wise, sharp, free, and easygoing: the Imperial Preceptor trusted by the emperor, the guardian god revered by the masses, and a half-demon, half-immortal whom even the Heavenly Emperor feared.

After Cheng Haofeng finally understood what he had been missing, he was willing to destroy heaven and earth to turn back time. But the Black Dragon used him, leaving him no choice but to perish alongside it.

Hu Xianxian did everything she could to preserve a wisp of his soul and send him to be reborn. After Cheng Haofeng was reborn as a simple, honest security guard, however, he regarded her as a wicked demon defying Heaven.

Only after Hu Xianxian erased every trace of herself from the mortal world did she realize that, through all their twists and turns, their footsteps had drawn a flawless circle.
