[Past and present lives, one-on-one devoted couple, strong male lead and weak female lead, sweet and angsty, female lead's growth, light on plot, no transmigration or rebirth]
Lingyin was merely a powerless, defenseless human girl with no spiritual roots, yet she accidentally crossed paths with him.
Bai Ze was the foremost of the Ten Great Ancient Demon Gods. To escape the wars he had grown thoroughly sick of, he hid among humans and enjoyed a carefree, happy life for quite some time, until he met her.
The first time they met, he wore red, bold and flamboyant, devastatingly handsome, as if a deity had descended into the mortal world. She fell for him at once.
When they met again, a “pheasant” forced them into a contract. She took him for a “mountain demon” and spent every day in fear, worried he might take her life.
She had thought it was nothing more than a chance encounter and a stroke of bad luck, never realizing that everything had its roots in the past.
When she needed help, he told the man who admired her with disdain, “I’m all she needs. There’s no need for you to worry.”
When she was in danger, his expression turned icy and his voice rang with menace. “Leave within three breaths, and I’ll spare your lives.”
When someone schemed against her, he gazed coolly at those around them, stood beside her, and said gently, “I’m here. You have nothing to fear.”
At last, she summoned her courage and ran to his home, heart full of joy.
“Bai Ze, when the flowers bloom, will you come and marry me?”
But she never expected...
He said, “A Yin, I’m not the right man for you...”
