Born into the body of a princess, the daughter of the Grand Princess, Mu Nianchu is notorious in the capital for her arrogance and tyranny.
The Imperial Preceptor, Gu Zhixu, is as pure and gentle as moonlight, warm and refined as jade, with a compassionate, bodhisattva-like heart. He is the dream man of countless noblewomen.
Everyone in the capital says Mu Nianchu has pursued the Imperial Preceptor relentlessly for years, but has never once managed to catch his attention.
Then, at a flower-viewing banquet, she accidentally sees Gu Zhixu’s eyes: pitch-black and bottomless, with no whites or pupils.
They are the eyes of the Demon Lord she personally sealed away.
She stumbles backward several steps and announces to everyone, “I don’t like the Imperial Preceptor anymore.”
Everyone applauds. No one sees the peony in the Imperial Preceptor’s hand crushed to dust.
Half a month later, Mu Nianchu disappears.
In a gloomy secret chamber, golden chains coil around her ankles.
A blade lifts lightly, and her clothes fall to the floor.
The Imperial Preceptor bends over her, his voice low and sinister. “You were the one who said you loved me, and you’re the one who says you don’t. Are you playing me?”
At last, the System updates its prompt: “Host, you’re not a wicked supporting female character. You are the Heavenly Dao. He’s the Demon Lord who broke free of his seal and pursued you through three lifetimes. Good luck.”
Mu Nianchu: “…Good luck my ass.”
But the truth goes far beyond that.
The so-called “way home” is a lie. This entire world is a trap set by a false Heavenly Dao to devour her power.
She smiles, the cold smile of the Heavenly Dao looking down upon all living things.
“In that case, I’ll eat it first.”
She unlocks her chains and makes a deal with that madman: together, they will destroy this world.
