Three hundred years ago, Immortal Venerable Shen Jichen pierced the heart of the Demon Lord Mo Qianyu with his sword, ending her reign of chaos.
Three hundred years later, the Demon Lord who once ruled the Three Realms dies and is reincarnated as a bewildered three-year-old child. She falls into the snow and is taken back to the immortal sect by the very nemesis who killed her.
She carefully pretends to be an innocent young disciple, hiding the demonic nature within her. All she wants is to lie low, stay safe, and survive, certain that her acting is flawless.
But she doesn't know that the aloof, ascetic Immortal Venerable, who looks down upon all living things, recognized her identity the moment they met.
Everyone knows that immortals and demons follow different paths, and that good and evil cannot coexist. No one knows that the deadly battle three hundred years ago was a heaven-defying wish he made at the cost of all his lifelong cultivation. He concealed her demonic soul from the Heavenly Dao and watched over her in silence for three hundred years, wagering on a reunion in a distant, uncertain next life.
She tests him at every turn, full of wariness. He indulges her in every way, cherishing her in secret.
As the girl grows up, the power of the Demon Lord gradually awakens, while the Heavenly Dao demands answers and the immortal sect closes in. The two who were once bound by opposing destinies will finally shed their disguises and face the deep love and calamity that have endured for three hundred years. Can this romance between immortal and demon, where both hide their feelings and both reach for each other, defy fate and let them spend the rest of their lives together?
The immortals and demons went from being adversaries to uniting, and the female protagonist was constantly striving towards this goal.
The plot is quite different from traditional cultivation novels. Only after reading the final chapter did I truly understand the profound meaning behind this story.
