When demonic beasts run amok in the immortal realm, Xuanlin risks his life to protect her. When old grudges from the demon realm come calling, Lingwei raises an immortal shield for the first time to defend her “plaything.” One is a pampered spirit herb who has fallen from the clouds into the mortal world; the other is an orphaned snake king’s heir who has crawled out of the mire toward the light. Day by day, as they spend time together, the boundary between immortals and demons slowly fades. It turns out that a bond spanning two lives was never ordained by fate. He patiently shields her innocence, while she grows and leads him toward a new life. In the end, immortal dew from the Jade Lake entwines with the demon realm’s Xuanlin.
