Crossing the Heart Demon

To save Zong Qing, Ye Xunqian entered the demon's lair, falling from a young prodigy to a Demon Lord rejected by the world.

Later, just as he wished, Zong Qing became Lans Xue Sect's youngest sect leader, and every immortal sect bowed before him.

But after drinking the Immortal-Demon Powder, Ye Xunqian returned to the foot of the mountain unarmed, only to find the sect's upgraded and reinforced protective array barring him from entering. He was ambushed and killed on the spot.

After being reborn in another body, Ye Xunqian, who had protected Zong Qing all his life, finally reached his breaking point. He stormed into the array, pinned him to the bed, and demanded coldly, "Have you never felt sorry for me? Not even a little?"

The wary, distant look in his lover's eyes was the cruelest verdict in the world.

The devil from the depths of hell gave a mournful laugh, finally steeling himself to tear away his beloved's hypocritical facade.

"Keep going."

He clamped a hand around Zong Qing's neck and snarled, "You can't even take this little bit of pain?"

It was still less than one ten-thousandth of what I endured for you in that demon's lair.

Devoted in the beginning, turns dark later gong x self-serving shou

· The blurb may be revised, but the plot above will remain in the main text.

· Both the gong and shou are villains in Asking the Frost. Their actions are logical, but they will not be redeemed. Having a motive doesn't erase a villain's crimes.

· After being reborn, the gong's revenge against the shou is extremely, extremely ruthless. This is true, no-holds-barred love-hate warfare, and their characterization differs greatly from Asking the Frost and Zhengran. Both leads have questionable moral standards, so please check your triggers.
