Sha Tang transmigrates into a book. If she completes the mission of saving the world by killing the Demon Lord who would destroy it, she can go home.
In the land of evil spirits, Sha Tang is in mortal danger. Fortunately, the System comes through: after haggling, she manages to get an advanced summoning array.
The Demon Lord appears in a blaze of wild, domineering charisma, his face wicked and alluring. In an instant, rivers of blood flow.
He sharpens his blade, ready to kill Sha Tang.
Sha Tang: "!!!"
Does she really have to die?
Luckily, the contract takes effect and saves her life.
But every day, the Demon Lord sharpens his blade, wanting to cut her down at every moment.
At first, Wen Wuhuo wanted to kill her.
Later, when he hears the girl before him talk nonstop about her senior brother, he wants to hack the man to pieces and seize her for himself, taking her back to the Demon Realm.
That year, during the Flower Festival, beneath the dimming lanterns, Wen Wuhuo is pierced through by a sword and falls to his knees.
The carefully chosen lantern drops to the ground, soaked crimson with blood.
The young man's face is pale and frail, his breath fading with the wind, yet he raises a hand to gently wipe the tears from Sha Tang's eyes.
"Don't cry."
On the day of her wedding, red silk flutters and lanterns hang high as Sha Tang is forced to prepare for the ceremony.
A gale roars, black crows circle low overhead, and chaos breaks out.
Her fiancé is nailed to the wall, eyes bulging with fury.
The young Demon Lord's blood-red eyes blaze as he reaches out to Sha Tang, his sinister face full of menace and his voice laced with seduction.
"Who else would you marry besides me?"
Sha Tang throws herself into his arms, tears blurring her eyes.
"What took you so long?"
