[Cold, domineering Ice Snake prince x quirky human girl, people traveling between past and present + stockpiling supplies + infrastructure building + female disguise + human-demon romance]
A sword spirit hiding in a rusty sword loves sneaking snacks, and can actually send supplies across time and space.
Lin Fengmian gets to know the Ice Snake prince, and the two strike a deal.
The Ice Snake tribe is surrounded by the Fire Eagle army. Human casualties are devastating, and only a handful of demon soldiers remain.
The whole city is running out of food and water, besieged by raging fires, with scorched earth stretching for miles.
Lin Fengmian has the sword spirit send over vast quantities of food, construction materials, and military supplies.
A border city of shattered walls becomes a colossal modern military fortress.
With food self-sufficiency, spiritual energy restored, and the army growing, their reach spreads from the border city all the way to the Ice Snake imperial capital.
Next come the capitals of the four great demon tribes, and then the tens of thousands of miles of territory inhabited by the humans of the Night Realm.
The tumor in Lin Fengmian’s grandfather’s brain is also dissolved with spiritual energy when the Ice Snake prince travels through time and space to treat him.
Her grandparents live longer and continue to cherish one another.
The Ice Snake prince unifies the Demon Realm, the Monster Realm, and the Night Realm, and all the races come to pay tribute.
Lin Fengmian’s business also expands from the human world into the realms of gods, demons, and monsters.
But wasn’t this supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement, with neither of us interfering in the other’s affairs?
“Why are you so possessive? Hey, hey, don’t come so close!”
“I can come even closer! You’re mine!”
“What if I told you I’m a boy? You still wouldn’t care?”
“I want you, and I’m not letting you go. I’d face death for you! Your gender doesn’t matter!”
