    This is not a simplistic or mindless fantasy novel; the plot is complex and intricately woven. A single, seemingly innocent word leads to Xi Yan's divine bones being ripped out by her father, and her lover, Chang Yuan, abandoning her. After Xi Yan vanishes into nothingness, her father's hair turns white, and Chang Yuan goes mad, but his belated sincerity is futile. Reborn, she resolutely responds to their pleas for reconciliation, "If we don't meet in this life, we won't meet again in the next." Only the Demon God, willing to offer the entire Three Realms as his dowry, only asks to be with her, to whisper his deepest love at her feet.
