[Power Couple, Growth-Focused, Ensemble Cast, Gentle, Powerful and Understanding Male Lead, Free-Spirited, Wily Female Lead] [The strategist enters the game herself and wins half a move against Heaven]
An Nian is so stubborn that not even ten oxen could drag her back once she's made up her mind.
Once she decides, everyone around her is in for it. Ling Yi must have done something to deserve his fate: only when An Nian disappeared did he realize he had fallen in love with her.
Love is precious, but life is more valuable. For the sake of freedom, both can be cast aside, and An Nian does just that.
Thus, a hundred years later, the Demon Venerable wields the Demon-Repelling Zither, slays evil demons, suppresses demon spirits, kills wicked people, and breaks through the heavens to ascend to the ninth firmament.
The female lead lives with ease and freedom, and dies with ease and freedom. She enters the mortal world, but her heart does not, calculating all the affairs under heaven with her hands behind her back.
From the male lead's perspective: Falling in love with a little demon spirit sends his heart riding a somersault cloud, soaring and plunging day after day, swinging between sorrow and joy year after year.
