Xiao Mo thinks she is a person.
But everyone else says she isn't. They say she is merely a man's inner demon.
That man is Qi Lianfeng, a once-in-a-millennium genius and the only man in the cultivation world with a chance of ascending to immortality.
But after a romantic tribulation in his youth, the woman he loved died for his sake, and he has never been able to let go of it.
Xiao Mo is his final tribulation. If he can kill his inner demon, he will be able to ascend.
Qi Lianfeng only wants to be with Xiao Mo. He no longer wants to ascend.
Fahai is Qi Lianfeng's senior fellow disciple. In Fahai's eyes, the Dao and attaining it are the only things in the world that matter.
Love clouds the mind and must be cut away.
Fahai cannot tolerate Qi Lianfeng willingly sinking into depravity, so he decides to kill Xiao Mo himself.
Xiao Mo watches as the two men and a crowd of people argue back and forth. Everyone thinks they have the right to decide her fate, and no one listens to her.
She thinks they are all far too full of themselves.
Why can't she be the one who ascends, whether as an immortal or a demon?
