The first time he saw her was at her Transformation Ceremony. He accidentally saw her completely naked, then panicked and fled, making a hasty getaway. As the Celestial Clan's Ninth Prince, he secretly filled his bedchamber with water and froze it, soaking in the ice for the entire night. From then on, she appeared in his dreams every night, leaving him restless and distracted. He thought that would be the end of it. She was only a little demon, after all. Who could have guessed that the next time he saw her, she would be his future sister-in-law? So what? Being close at hand meant he might still be able to steal her away and make her his wife. But when he saw the Demon Clan's Red Cherry, kept in the Hall of Extreme Judgment, touch her and instantly crumble to dust, he felt fear for the first time. Only then did he realize that what lay between them might not be just that marriage contract she had on the Ninth Heaven.
