Meng Huanzhao's life was one inescapable dead end after another.

He killed his master and betrayed his sect, offered his body to the demon, manipulated people's hearts, and plotted against the Heavenly Dao...

One day, he noticed an excessively upright, stiff-necked cultivator and felt the urge to tease him.

So Meng Huanzhao concealed his identity as the Demon Lord, disguised himself as a sickly mortal, and followed the young cultivator around, calling him "Little Immortal Lord" at every turn.

At the black market in Tuyang City, Meng Huanzhao saw what he wanted and deliberately stirred up trouble so the "Immortal-Eater" jade token would fall into his hands.

At the Tianze Assembly, Meng Huanzhao whispered a secret technique in his ear, ready to explain the events and hidden truths of ten years ago whenever he wished.

But no matter how much he teased him, Wen Zidu remained upright and aloof, as if telling him, "You're a good person."

Meng Huanzhao said, "Forget it. This is terribly dull."

Later, his identity was exposed.

Rain poured down, and thunder roared.

The young Immortal Lord's expression was cold, his gaze like ice. He looked at the Demon Lord before him and drove his long sword in without mercy.

Meng Huanzhao smiled softly, even as the sword pierced his shoulder blade and pinned him firmly to the wall. His voice remained calm, touched with a hint of cool tenderness.

Looking at Wen Zidu's hate-filled face, he said with a smile, "It seems the Immortal Lord has no regard for our past affection after all. How heartless... Should I say, just as one would expect from an upright cultivator and the leading disciple of Qingjing Mountain?"

"Given time, surely you'll have an immaculate Dao heart, bring blessings to all, become renowned far and wide, and rise to be the foremost figure of the righteous path?"

From childhood, Wen Zidu had been taught to be solemn and composed, to vanquish demons and defend the Dao. But then he met a strange man who was always clinging to him.

Whenever Wen Zidu spent time with him, he appeared cool and composed, but inside, the feelings in his heart grew harder to contain, his heart pounding wildly.

Just as Wen Zidu finally sorted out his feelings and was about to confess them, turmoil erupted in the demon realm. And the person seated upon the Demon Lord's cold, bloodthirsty throne was none other than the one he had longed for day and night.

In the pouring rain, Wen Zidu thrust his sword through the Demon Lord's body. Warm blood ran down the blade, burning his fingertips until they trembled.

It hurts, he thought.

The wound wasn't even his, so why did it hurt so much?

When they met again, the Heavenly Dao was on the brink of collapse.

The man wore a smile, knowing his plan had failed, and calmly accepted death.

Shaken to his core, Wen Zidu chose for the first time to defy the teachings he had faithfully followed since childhood. He chose to stand by that man's side.

Even if it meant... making an enemy of the entire immortal realm and being rejected by the world.
