Though He Walks the Demonic Path, His Heart Is True

[Two male leads + traditional fantasy + powerful leads + both pure-hearted + pursuing his love + angst before sweetness]

Yu Buzhi endures unimaginable torment to protect Yan Jingxing, but Yan Jingxing, his soul damaged and a portion of his memory lost, is deceived and comes to see Yu Buzhi as an enemy.

He even becomes cultivation partners with He Qinhan, Yu Buzhi's sworn enemy.

Only after Yu Buzhi, unable to have the one he loves, loses the will to live in this world, draws a demonic tribulation upon himself with his demon body, and is reduced to ashes does Yan Jingxing recover that vital memory.

Consumed by grief, he falls to the demonic path at the height of his power and becomes a demon everyone fears.

He tortures He Qinhan, who deceived him, destroys everyone who ever harmed Yu Buzhi, and relentlessly torments himself as well.

He searches everywhere for the remnants of Yu Buzhi's soul, hoping to take over Xin Yixian's body and use it as a vessel for Yu Buzhi, only to discover that the person he's searching for has been by his side all along.

His long journey to win back his love is filled with hardships, but in the end he finds happiness.
