Deep in the darkness, there is still a glimmer of light; but warmth is the most deadly poison to the devil.
On a snowy night when he was thirteen years old, Lin Qi was rescued by bodyguard Zhao Mang while waiting for death in a ruined temple. The two-year relationship between master and apprentice came to an abrupt end when Zhao Mang got involved in a power struggle. Before leaving, all Zhao Mang left to him was an iron plaque from the Blood Hand Hall and the words "Live on."
Blackwater City is a quagmire that eats people without spitting out their bones. In the Blood Hand Hall, Lin Qi learned to hide his sword in a smile; in the Tianbao Pavilion, he saw the calculations of people's hearts. However, power changed rapidly - the hall leader Chen Xiao was assassinated, and Poisonous Scorpion seized power. He, the "remnant", was sent to the Netherworld Abyss, named Exploration, but in reality he was sent to die.
The abyss is lightless, and the miasma eats away at the heart. In his confusion, he accidentally killed Lao He, the only person who gave him tenderness. In a desperate situation, Lao Li died for him and made a choice: using hatred as fuel, he practiced the magic technique "The Art of Hatred", and from then on, he grew horns in vain and transformed into an evil ghost in hell.
After ten years of hard training in the abyss, he returned from the sea of blood, crushed his enemies, and was called the "White Devil". But after revenge, there is only endless emptiness. Until that snowy night, he met the abandoned girl Que'er in the ancient temple on the barren mountain.
She was not afraid of his demonic appearance and said, "Look at people's hearts." She cooked porridge, hummed songs, and shared candies, giving him the illusion of "home" in the clumsiest way possible. But "The Secret of Hate Heaven" uses hatred as fuel - warmth melts away hatred and begins to bite back.
Either grow strong in hatred, or perish in warmth.
When Queer handed the only candy into his hand, Lin Qi knew: this sweetness is poison, this warmth is calamity. The survivor's curse has come true again - every gain means a more painful loss.
