    Reader note

    You'll need to read selectively (it's a dual-narrative story; the main character is Su Jing, and around chapter 100, the main female character, Mu Xue, appears). It involves conflict between immortals and demons, a revenge story, and the plot revolves around chapter 100 where you need to find Mu Xue. Mu Xue is a hidden figure, possessing intelligence across the three realms, using her own power to establish herself within a complex power structure, and interfering in the civil war between the two princes of the demon realm. Others only know that she has great ambitions, but they don't know that her ultimate goal is revenge. Hint: in the ending, Su Jing and Mu Xue will have a power struggle. This isn't a typical story where the female lead must fall for the male lead. They each have their own romantic partners.
