Bai Li was the last heir of Biyou Palace. When she woke, she discovered she had been asleep for three whole years. Once a princess of the Snake Clan, she was now a monster hunted by all three realms. All the love and adoration she had once known had dwindled to a battered half-snake body. Worse still, if she couldn’t take human form within seven days, her soul would be scattered, leaving her doomed for eternity. Just as she reached the end of her rope, a man appeared. He came striding through the air, his black robes snapping in the wind. With a single word, he sent the demon hunters surrounding her running: “Begone.”
She knew him. Li Yuancheng. The supreme ruler of the Demon Realm. On the night three years ago, he had stood beyond the wall of mist, watching as her people were slaughtered to the last. With the last of her strength, she pressed a poisoned silver needle to his heart. “You were beyond the wall of mist three years ago. You saw what happened, and you did nothing.”
He looked down at her, his eyes as deep as a frigid pool, yet his voice was terrifyingly calm.
“Yes. I’ll keep you alive for seven days. After that, if you still want to kill me, I won’t fight back.”
She shouldn’t trust him. But she had no other choice.
Three years later, the mountains were covered in flowers from the Other Shore.
He smiled as he walked up to her. “Hello. My name is Li Yuancheng.”
She gazed at him in confusion, while her glass heart warmed ever so slightly.
“Do… we know each other?”
He didn’t answer. He simply smiled and held out his hand. “You’ll find out someday.”
