The Immortal Realm issued an edict: Whoever could kill the Demon Venerable Mo Linhan would be granted one request by the Immortal Realm.
Chu Nanzhi had been in love with her master, Fu Yuan Yu, for over a thousand years.
To marry him, she assumed the name Wen Xiaomi and infiltrated the Demon Realm, spending a full three hundred years by Mo Linhan's side.
Since childhood, Mo Linhan had been regarded as a demon by his mother and despised by his father.
Wen Xiaomi was the first person to crouch beside him and softly tell him, "It doesn't hurt," as she tended to his wounds.
So he trusted her for three hundred years.
Until the day she drove the Soul-Breaking Sword into his heart with her own hands.
Only then did he learn that Wen Xiaomi was a fake, her companionship was fake, and even their first meeting had been a deception.
More absurdly, she had killed him only so she could return to the Immortal Realm and marry her own master.
Mo Linhan wouldn't accept it.
How could she deceive him for three hundred years, kill him, and then expect to happily marry another man?
He swallowed a Soul-Sealing Pill that would keep his spirit from dispersing for three days. Before he died, he did just one thing:
He forced Chu Nanzhi to marry him.
"Isn't your Immortal Realm all about propriety?"
"When this venerable one dies, you'll be the Demon Venerable's widow."
"Let's see how your master can marry you when you return with a previous marriage to your name."
Chu Nanzhi was livid.
Three days later, the Demon Venerable's soul scattered into nothingness.
She thought it was finally over.
But when she returned to the Immortal Realm, she discovered that someone else had been credited with killing the Demon Venerable, and the master she had yearned for was about to become a cultivation partner with that very person.
Stranger still, why did the master standing before her look more and more like the man who had died by her sword?
