After the Battle of the Gods, the New Heavenly Court was established, but one mystery remained unsolved in the heavens: Donghuang Ming.
She was playful by nature, but never went looking for trouble. Still, she drew the ire of many new gods because she did things according to her mood, not out of consideration for others.
“Who is she? Which mighty god is backing her? How dare she act so arrogantly and show no respect even to the Empress’s Palace?”
“No idea. I bet she’s a newly ascended immortal who doesn’t know this person is a favorite of the Empress.”
“Respect? What respect? Your master doesn’t even have any. What makes you think you do?”
“You… Do you know who my master is? How dare you speak to me like that?”
“Does it matter?”
From then on, her reputation as an arrogant, spoiled brat spread far and wide.
Even the Heavenly Emperor could only smooth things over when dealing with her, so the Empress deeply resented her and often set traps for her in secret.
The ancestor of the ancient Demon Realm fell in love with the heroine, and they loved and fought each other, but he inexplicably vanished. Millions of years later, Tantai Jing, the new Demon Emperor, encountered the heroine in the mortal realm and brought her back to the Demon Realm. Several powerful clans there targeted her for their own gain and laid numerous schemes, but she overcame them all through her own strength. As they spent time together, the male lead fell in love with her. Yet he often felt she was looking at someone else through him, and jealousy consumed him. After a huge argument, they stopped speaking. The heroine wasn’t sure whether he was the reincarnation of her former lover, and couldn’t be bothered to explain further, so she disappeared. The male lead searched for her in vain, until they met again at the gathering of the Heavenly, Demon, and Demon Beast Realms, held once every 500 years. He learned her true identity and about the “former lover” she had kept in her heart.
“I don’t care who you’re seeing when you look at me. I’ll drive him out of your heart. There can only be me in your heart…”
Then one day, when his memories suddenly returned, he discovered that “the former lover was actually me.”
