A cold, thousand-year-old wolf demon x an unconventional demon hunter | Bound together in life and death: will these sworn enemies tear each other apart, or fall helplessly in love?
Ling Zhu's thousand years began in the iron cage of a demon alchemist. Born to be bait and a tool for experiments, she lost her home and family at twelve. After fleeing with her brother, she fed on blood to gain power and forged her path with hatred. She became an invincible, cold-hearted demon, yet could not escape her fate of being sealed away on Mount Youji.
After a hundred years of darkness, the ones who came for her were not bringing freedom, but a demon-hunting squad intent on taking her life.
Qi Chiheng, the most carefree and unconventional demon hunter in the martial world, was raised by an old woman. Leading a team of righteous heroes, he should have been the very model of a defender of the righteous path. But in a deadly battle with Ling Zhu, a "broken lock" bound them together, and from then on their lives were intertwined.
The items that can break their bond are scattered across the world. The former enemies are forced to travel together.
"A demon is still a demon. I'll get rid of you sooner or later!"
"Demon hunter? Just a fool who thinks too highly of himself."
They bicker and trade barbs every day, always at each other's throats. But as they brave secret realms, search for the items, and fight evil spirits together, he reveals a sincere heart beneath his flippant grin, and warmth gradually melts her frozen demonic heart.
As the secrets of the experiments and old grievances from the fall of her homeland come to light, and their bond grows ever tighter, will these enemies whose lives are bound together go their separate ways once they have gathered the items, or will they succumb to a love that crosses the line between good and evil?
Content warning: Two powerful leads, daily bickering mixed with sweet and angsty moments, simple writing, the heroine is the focus, first-time author.
