Both are each other's first and only | Push and pull | Political scheming | Redemption
A cold, self-possessed elder with a calculating mind VS a resilient, clever, seductive demoness and covert guard
He is an elder in a position of power, directing affairs in the martial world and the Demon Cult, and winning victories from a thousand miles away. She is a covert guard trapped in a cage, struggling through despair until she is reborn from the ashes.
By a twist of fate, she goes from standing behind him to standing at his side, and finds her way into his heart. But just as he is hopelessly caught up in her, she abruptly walks away, leaving him to suffer in the flames of love and hatred.
He has never dreamed of holding her hand and growing old together. He only wants to overturn the world by his own power, no matter the cost. He conceals his true feelings behind cold pride and steely resolve, and keeps his emotions at bay with indifference. Yet with every push and pull, he sinks deeper into the trap of desire and greed.
In public, they keep their distance. In private, they are consumed by passion. This game of secrets and schemes has only just begun. How will it end?
She thought they would never meet again, but one stormy night she stumbles into his room. He has transformed from an elder of the Demon Cult into the master of Little Divine Peak. Frowning, he asks who she is, only to pin her against the black-jade desk that night. His eyes dark, he suppresses his fury and says, “Since you’ve thrown yourself into my arms, how could I let this night go to waste?”
She stares at him in disbelief. “You were the one who seduced me...”
