Shen Ji was born into loneliness and hardship. Abandoned on a snowy mountain as an infant, he was taken in by an elder of the Jingchen Valley.
Taciturn and aloof, he desired nothing and sought nothing. He spent half his life on a desolate snow mountain, indifferent to worldly affairs. He should have devoted his life to cultivation, free from dust and disturbance.
Until one year, on a frozen cliff, he met the badly wounded boy Xiao Jin, who had not yet fallen into demonic ways.
Later, Xiao Jin plunged into the Demon Abyss and became the Bone-Eroding Demon Lord, a scourge upon the Three Realms whom everyone sought to destroy.
He stained the immortal sects with blood and earned a fearsome reputation. Millions cursed him, and the Three Realms all wanted him dead.
Everyone said the demon was cold-blooded and cruel, deserving a thousand deaths.
No one knew that, amid the icy snow, the demon had once given a lonely child the only warmth he had ever known.
The immortal sects demanded that Shen Ji draw his sword, while the world condemned him for showing favoritism.
Burdened with countless curses, Shen Ji stood silently beside the demon, dressed in plain robes as gray and cold as ash.
“Good and evil are decided by people. But I choose to defy the world.”
