Deng Ying is a moth demon who was born with a soul defect. In order to survive, she was forced to hide in the Stone Flower Valley and steal the original divine fire of the ancient fire god Jinyan.
When they met for the first time, Jinyan pinched her neck and warned: "Get close to me and you will be burned to ashes." But she found that when she got close to him, her incomplete soul would actually heal.
So she stalked him... Gave him ugly garlands, chirped in his ears, and pretended to be hurt to gain attention. The iceberg seemed to be melting slowly. He would tear apart space to save her when she was in danger, and would silently block all dangers for her.
But she also heard him say to others: "A little demon, just a thing for teasing in your spare time, is it worthy?"
It turned out that her face looked very much like his dead Bai Yueguang... Luo Shen Bai Miao.
Everything he felt special about her stemmed from his empathy for his old friend.
On the day of the Demon Abyss uprising, in order to suppress Demon Lord Mo Sheng, Jin Yan chose to sacrifice her between the common people in the world and her.
The lamp ignited itself on the sacrificial table and turned into spots of light all over the sky. She smiled at him and said, "This time, I'm not doing it for you."
Later, Jin Yan went crazy.
He became a demon and traveled across the three realms to collect her remaining soul. He knelt in front of the Demon Emperor's Palace and begged humbly.
The reborn Deng Ying was already a decisive demon emperor. She looked down at the man who once made her fly into the flames and said word by word: "Jinyan, I don't want you anymore."
