[Angsty romance. The God Venerable dies at the end. Do not read if you can’t accept that.]
A thousand years ago, the God Venerable fell in love with the young heir of the demon clan.
But the Heavenly Dao would not allow it, and the young heir was struck by lightning, leaving his soul disembodied.
To save his beloved, the God Venerable was reborn as a mortal emperor. With honeyed words, he tricked a foolish general destined to ascend into offering himself as a sacrifice. After saving his beloved, he turned cold and cast the general into the ghost realm.
He never expected the fool’s attachment to run so deep. Clinging to the God Venerable’s honeyed promise, “I want to be with you for all eternity,” the general managed to ascend once more.

A thousand years later, the fool had become the lowest-ranking immortal. He gazed at the aloof, transcendent God Venerable seated high above and was overjoyed.
This was the beloved he had searched for over a thousand years.
But the God Venerable was unusually cold. “I don’t know you.”
Thinking he had merely lost his memory, the fool ignored the immortals’ ridicule and followed him every day. It was only when the God Venerable later tried to kill him that the fool, looking at the sword in his chest, gradually understood.
The God Venerable did not love him. He never had.
Laughing, he went to his death and threw himself onto the sword.
And at the very moment he died, the God Venerable realized...
He had mistaken him for someone else...

Several hundred years later, war broke out between the gods and demons.
The God Venerable, leader of all the gods, knelt in disgrace outside the Demon Palace. He kowtowed along three thousand streets and repeated “I’m sorry” tens of thousands of times, all just to beg for an audience with the young heir of the demon clan.
The young heir, doted on by the demon, monster, and ghost realms, reclined on a couch and lifted a face of breathtaking beauty. His red lips parted. “Tell. Him. To. Get. Lost.”
