This is the story of how a deeply scheming yet patient and devoted chancellor's son tries to marry a demonic woman of the martial world.
Jiang Mian, born Jiang Sangruo, is the daughter of Lu Zhou's Grand Marshal. She and her childhood friend Song Jiyang, the chancellor's son, are a bickering couple who secretly delight in each other.
But on her birthday, her family is destroyed, and she sees Song Jiyang standing before her with a bloodied sword in his hand.
When they meet again, seven years have passed. She is now a great witch hated and hunted by everyone in the martial world, while he is a flawless immortal, as white as jade beneath the moonlit sky.
Unexpectedly, an accident causes Jiang Mian from a parallel world to transmigrate into her body. Faced with this sudden switch, the parallel-world Jiang Mian has no choice but to make a pact with her: she will help uncover the reason her family was destroyed, step by step, so they can each return to their own world...
Even with their souls switched, Song Jiyang can tell that the person before him is not the woman he loves. He spends time with the substitute Jiang Mian along the way only to find the original Jiang Mian...
But as the parallel-world Jiang Mian travels with Song Jiyang, she falls in love with him...
Just as everything returns to normal and everyone takes their rightful place, with the Holy Lord arranging a marriage between the two, Jiang Mian loses her second home. In a single night, the entire martial world is bathed in blood...
So does the Jiang Mian in the title refer to the Jiang Mian in the parallel world, or the Jiang Mian in this world? Why do I feel it's a bit unfair to Jiang Mian in the parallel world?
