A hundred years ago, Xie Xun, a high god from the Celestial Realm, left behind a wisp of his divine consciousness, which helped a peony in the Demon Realm absorb spiritual energy and take human form. The demon girl gave him her whole heart and fell deeply in love with him, but he was cold and loveless, always keeping her at arm's length. Only when the peony demon vanished did he finally understand his feelings: he had been in love with her all along. He gave up one of his lives to bring her back, but when she awoke, she was no longer the little flower demon who used to cling to his side.
At their first meeting, she was a little demon of the Demon Realm. When they met again, she was the Flower Goddess of the Celestial Realm.
“I was never her. Let go.”
