On the summit of Fallen Star Cliff, immortals and demons clash in a final battle. It should have been a fight to the death between sworn enemies, but the unexpected appearance of an ancient evil pearl triggers a world-shaking upheaval. After the explosion, the Demon Venerable Zheng Xuan looks at his gravely wounded, unconscious nemesis, the Immortal Lord Fang Bishu, and wonders whether to finish him off or keep him prisoner. Then the man slowly wakes. The moment his icy eyes land on Zheng Xuan, they fill with utter dependence and affection.
“Dao companion...” Fang Bishu murmurs, his voice softer than it has been in a hundred years. “Where are we?”
Zheng Xuan: “...?”
A century of enmity, undone by one mistaken identity.
The Demon Venerable claims he’s “going along with the act,” but as he watches his nemesis show no wariness toward him and even instinctively care for him, he grows more and more agitated. How is he supposed to keep this charade going?
