We Were Supposed to Be Mortal Enemies, So How Did We Become Dao Companions?

[Two heroines + enemies to lovers + power couple mind games + intense push and pull]

[Cool, chaste high priestess × cunning, deep-thinking Demon Supreme: They swore to fight to the death, so how did they end up bound together in life and death?]

Yun Qingcheng, high priestess of the Temple of Holy Radiance, personally pinned Mo Li, the Demon Supreme, to the altar.

Yet, before the eyes of everyone there, she clasped the dying Mo Li in her arms and leaped from a sheer cliff.

The temple was furious. The elders issued an order to refine her within three days: if the witch was not eliminated by then, the high priestess would be treated as a traitor.

No one knew that three years earlier, Yun Qingcheng had planted a Heartbond Curse on Mo Li.

If Mo Li was hurt, Yun Qingcheng felt the pain; if Mo Li died, Yun Qingcheng would die too.

Even fewer knew that, shackled to a stone bed in the forbidden grounds, Mo Li’s first words to Yun Qingcheng were:

“Yun Qingcheng, there’s another secret to the Heartbond Curse, one you haven’t told anyone, right?”

“If the caster personally kills the one under the curse, she inherits all of her memories and emotions.”

“If you refine me, you’ll become me. You’ll remember all my hatred, feel all my pain, and… fall in love with me.”

Yun Qingcheng tightened her grip on the World-Cleansing Sword until her fingertips turned white.

She thought she was the one moving the pieces, never realizing she had long since become a pawn in the game.

And the enemy she had imprisoned was using her blood and pain to weave a game of complicity from which neither could escape.

The three-day countdown had begun.

Would she refine Mo Li and become just as mad as her?

Or betray the temple and flee with her?

Yun Qingcheng had no answer.

She only knew that this game between enemies had long since changed into something else.

And they were destined to become each other’s partners.
