[Cold, ruthless supreme ruler of the Demon Realm x Gentle, kindhearted leader of the righteous path]
Zi Sang Yuling was born a demon seed, the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm.
On the day of the war between immortals and demons, she was defeated by Pei Jibai, the foremost figure of the righteous path.
Just as his sword came within an inch of her chest, she suddenly smiled.
“Pei Jibai, do you know why I kill people?”
“Nobody ever gave me a second path!” she cried, worked up. “If I don’t kill, then the only path left to me is death!”
Pei Jibai’s hand stilled.
After a long silence, he put away his sword and turned to leave without a word.
But those who claimed to follow the righteous path would not let her go.
They dragged her into the Demon-Slaying Formation.
Her body shattered on the spot, and her soul nearly got sealed.
Fortunately, she managed to leave behind a wisp of her soul and escape.

When she opened her eyes again, Zi Sang Yuling had arrived three hundred years in the future.
The first thing she did upon waking was search for the whereabouts of the people who had dragged her into the Demon-Slaying Formation.
She would take revenge with her own hands.
After days of inquiries, she discovered that the cultivation world had changed beyond recognition.
Few of the people from back then were still alive.
And Pei Jibai, the leader of the righteous path, had somehow become a demonic cultivator. Three years ago, he had been killed by a group of cultivators, leaving no whole corpse behind.
When she first heard the news, Zi Sang Yuling could hardly believe it. Her heart was filled with conflicting emotions.
But a few days later, she happened to find Pei Jibai, barely clinging to life.
She took him home and fed him demonic energy, hoping to make him cultivate demonic arts and watch him fall into depravity.
But after he recovered, he was still as mild-mannered as ever, and especially obedient to her.
He just wouldn’t cultivate demonic arts.

As leader of the righteous path, Pei Jibai was as bright and upright as the sun, gentle as jade.
After being framed and nearly killed, he had passed through the gates of death and almost perished.
Once his name was cleared, people from the righteous path came to ask him to return. Then they drew their swords and pointed them at Zi Sang Yuling, standing beside him.
They wanted him to kill the new Demon Lord on the spot.
Instead, Pei Jibai shielded her behind him.
“She may be a demon, but she is also my wife. I will never let anyone hurt her.”
“I love my wife very much.”
He looked at her, then paused.
“Even if she doesn’t love me.”
