"Holy Monk, that waist of yours... It can save demons, but can it save me?"
Hong Xiu, the Three Realms' number-one "villainess":
Though a demon, she insists on saving people, only to be slandered afterward;
Though afraid of pain, she insists on taking a sword for someone, yet threatens the stone-faced holy monk:
"The world may not love me, but I'll make them owe me anyway!"
Jing Chen, the Buddhist realm's most "high-risk profession":
A holy monk on the surface, driven to despair behind the scenes by his prayer beads;
He was supposed to slay demons, but a demoness ropes him into her scheme:
"Our heartbeats are linked? Why should I suffer just because she's in pain?"
When an ascetic holy monk meets a dangerously unhinged demoness:
She assassinates someone in a brothel, and he's forced to take the blame as her "customer";
She gambles with her life in the ghost market, and he coolly stakes his prayer beads;
Until one day, he crushes his golden lotus and defies the Three Realms for her:
"If Buddha won't save you, I'll break my vows and do it!"
◆ A trope-defying xianxia tale: the holy monk breaks his vows on livestream, while the demoness moonlights as a world-saver. The comments go wild: "This ship is so wild my heart's racing!"
◆ Episodic adventures: a brothel courtesan's grudge, a ghost-market ghost wedding, a tyrant's quest for immortality... Every prayer bead holds a tale of mortal obsession.
◆ Sweetness and heartbreak intertwined: their shared heartbeat is sweet, blood on the prayer beads is a knife to the heart. At the end, he smiles, holding her favorite candied hawthorns:
"Hong Xiu, this time, I'll chase you for a thousand years."
