Bai Suzhen devoted herself to cultivating immortality, but these men kept disturbing her practice:
Yaoshang, the Demon Saint:
He ruled the Demon Realm, all so no demon would dare bully her again.
He even absorbed every star in the sky that had ever hurt her.
To get her attention, every year he captured a dozen or so mortals to practice the art of absorbing yang to replenish yin. He did it only so she would come rescue them, giving him a chance to see her.
Fahai, the cold-faced monk:
Fahai had always made it his duty to slay demons and vanquish evil. He never imagined he would fall in love with Bai Suzhen.
He thought his mastery of the Dao was profound enough to keep a snake demon from disturbing his cultivation, but Bai Suzhen bewitched him with ease.
From then on, he gradually descended into madness, and his life's ambition became conquering her.
He slaughtered his way through crowds to lure her into his trap, severed her ties to the mortal world out of jealousy, spouted nonsense so she wouldn't discover his feelings, planted a lovesickness curse in himself to punish himself, and imprisoned her because he couldn't have her...
Xu Xian, master of the Sacred Medicine Villa:
From the first moment Xu Xian saw Bai Suzhen, he became a hopeless romantic.
Bai Suzhen is a demon? He hated that he wasn't one himself!
If he were a demon, he could use his inner core to protect her spirit whenever she was in danger.
Bai Suzhen forgot who he was and even sent a dog to bite him? Xu Xian told his disciples, “My future wife is just playing hard to get. It's more fun if I chase and she runs. You should all learn from me!”
Bai Suzhen was about to suffer Heaven's wrath? Xu Xian ordered his disciples to lock her up, then took the full force of the heavenly lightning in her place!
