She is a poison doctor wanted by the Immortal Realm, with the bloodline of a godslayer, yet she insists on protecting her son, the reincarnation of the Demon God
“Mom, they say I’m a monster.” Shen Xingchen tugs at her sleeve, the butterfly birthmark on his chest glowing purple.
Gu Zhaozhao flicks crane-crown poison powder behind her,
poisoning the immortal soldiers in pursuit. “So what if you’re a monster? The kind that can poison all three realms.”
It isn’t until the reclusive master Shen Yanzhi tears away the false “master and disciple” facade,
and the underworld bailiff Bai Wuchang reveals the mark of the First Demon God, that she finally realizes:
The prophecy that her son will “kill his father to attain the Dao” conceals the secret of the Three Realms’ cycle of reincarnation;
and her poisoncraft was born to overturn the will of Heaven.
“Be good, okay?” She crushes a poison pouch and watches poisonous butterflies devour the immortal formation.
“Otherwise, I’ll poison even the gods to death for you.”
