Fu Sui is the notorious female demon everyone knows: scarred across the face and cruel-hearted. Using every trick in the book, she seized Bai Liyu, the cultivation world's beloved number-one beauty of a man. After they married, she locked him away in her cave dwelling. Later, people heard that she had tamed him, and that he loved her with every fiber of his being.
Bai Liyu had something to say about that before he died.
"I couldn't beat her in a fight, and I couldn't out-cruel her. If I didn't behave, she wouldn't feed me, and she'd force aphrodisiacs on me. If I didn't sleep with her, I'd explode. What was I supposed to do? I had to grit my teeth and go along with it."
"What? Run away? You think I never tried? Every time I ran, she'd threaten to cut off my legs. Cut them off, mind you, not break them where they could heal! I immediately burst into tears and dropped to my knees, then served her for three days and three nights. Only then did she let it go."
"You say there's no point living like that? But she said that even if I died, she'd turn me into a puppet corpse and lock my soul inside. I'd forget everyone else and remember only her, and then I wouldn't have to do anything but spend all day doing this and that with her."
"If I could live my life over, I would definitely..."
Bai Liyu never expected his words to come true, but he really was reborn, a hundred years before he met Fu Sui.
At first, he was overjoyed and spent three months enjoying his freedom. Then, one night, he dreamed of Fu Sui. When he woke in the middle of the night, he felt a little dazed. Thinking about how much she had loved him, and how she'd even taken a sword for him before she died... Though she hadn't managed to block it and had been run through instead, at least they'd had their good times.
So he decided to secretly take a look at her and help her before she was disfigured, to keep her from becoming twisted by it and stop her from ever seizing him by force.

When Bai Liyu found Fu Sui, she was still a junior sister at an unknown little mountain sect: sweet, gentle, and strikingly beautiful. She was nothing like the arrogant, ugly woman she would become.
On the very first day he secretly followed her, he discovered two things.
First, Fu Sui had a crush on her senior brother.
Second, Fu Sui's senior brother looked about eighty percent like him.
Bai Liyu: "..."
