Unwilling to Leave the Demon

Synopsis screenshot saved: 251125

The thing Su Wuchen regretted most in his life was rescuing that jade butterfly by the lakeside.

For a hundred years, he had to seal her away with his own hands once every ten years.

Until the eleventh time she emerged from her cocoon, she broke both her wings in front of him:

"Daoist, you don't have to do it this time."

Later, word spread throughout the three realms that the Daoist of Qingchen Mountain, who stood closer than anyone to ascension, had allowed a demon to run rampant.

No one knew that the Heavenly Mandate had made it clear:

Either he killed her with his own hands, or she would die because of him.

He chose a third path: defy fate and repeat the cycle for a hundred years.

But when his spiritual power ran dry, she defected to the demon realm, seized a demon core, resisted the heavenly tribulation, and willingly fell into demonic corruption.

"The Mandate says you'll destroy your Daoist heart for me? If you kill me, the demon king who brings calamity upon the world, you'll be able to ascend?" She smiled as she handed him the sword.

He tore up the Mandate and said, word by word, "Then I won't ascend."

★ On the surface: a cold, celibate Daoist × a sweet little butterfly

★ In truth: a fiercely devoted guardian × a foolish demon who only wants to make his dreams come true

★ The Mandate says one of them must die? Then they'll drag Heaven's will down with them

★ He cultivates the merciless Dao, so why has his heart been mortal for a hundred years?

Theme: Fate may try to divide us, but we insist on reaching the same end by different paths
