[She should have been the most honored princess in the Ninth Heaven, but because her parents trusted a close friend too easily, she fell from grace in a single day.]
Before she could even take human form, a Bodhisattva casually rescued her, only to cast her into the mortal world because of the sin flowing through her blood.
A thousand years of loneliness, a lifetime of panic.
Until she met Tang Monk and his disciples on their journey west to fetch the scriptures. The holy monk famed for his boundless compassion concealed in his eyes a darkness born of the same source as hers.
She cleaved her soul in two.
Her demonic half unleashed a tidal wave across the realms of demons and monsters, while her immortal half struggled to survive in the human world.
Ten thousand years of careful planning, all to shatter the eternal prison holding her divine father captive.
But just as the final moment approached, the Buddha's inner demon became entangled with her.
“A Niao, have you ever truly cared about me?”
The white-haired Demon Lord laid a hand over hers as she gripped her sword, his eyes roiling with an obsession that could destroy heaven and earth.
She cut off her sleeve and let the torn fabric scatter on the wind.
“I have. But there are too many things in my heart that matter more than you. You can't stop me.”
Atop the highest peak of the Ninth Heaven, the Jade Emperor stared in shock at the red-robed demoness pointing her sword at him.
The eyes blazing with the fire of revenge were so familiar that they filled him with dread.
The Gold Star of Venus reminded him in a trembling voice, “Your Majesty, tens of thousands of years ago... her divine father, Chenyue, stormed the Heavenly Court in the same way.”
The glass cup in the Jade Emperor's hand shattered with a crash.
“Does anyone think they can just attack my Heavenly Realm whenever they please?!”
