Ni Tang's sect was massacred by a fiend, and she barely managed to escape with her life.
While fleeing, she came across an injured, frail rabbit demon. After she treated his wounds, he agreed to become her servant to repay her kindness.
The two settled down in a small village at the foot of a mountain. Their life was poor but peaceful.
Until one day, up on the mountain, Ni Tang secretly witnessed the frail rabbit demon grab a powerful cultivator by the throat with one hand and lift him off the ground. The cultivator had come with others to hunt down the fiend. Then the rabbit demon separated his head from his body.
The rabbit demon who ate and lived with her, whom she'd treated like a servant, was actually the fiend who had slaughtered her sect?
Terrified, Ni Tang bolted. But she ran too fast, tumbled down the mountain, and fell so hard she couldn't even stand.
All she could do was watch as the “rabbit demon” walked toward her, step by step.

When Jiang Zhuye was badly wounded, he met a cat demon who mistook him for a frail rabbit. To get her to save him, he played along and pretended to agree to become her servant.
The cat demon was every bit as easy to fool as he expected. She not only believed him, but was also easily taken in by someone with ulterior motives.
It had nothing to do with him, though. He would leave once he had recovered.
The day he was about to go, he spotted cultivators on the mountain she had visited that day, hunting demons and fiends.
He didn't break stride. His wounds had healed, and he wasn't about to get involved.
Not long afterward, back on the mountain.
Jiang Zhuye flicked the blood from his hand in disgust, went home to change out of his bloodstained clothes, then came to her spotless and lifted her onto his back.
“There are lots of loose rocks hidden under the snow. Take it slow when you walk.”
“The mountain path is even harder to navigate after dark. Come home earlier next time.”

Coming soon: The General Bound by Night
Princess Zhaorong never imagined that her childhood sweetheart and betrothed, who had once promised to be with her year after year, would change his heart and fall in love with her elder sister.
The emperor has only two daughters, and the throne must go to one of them. Zhaorong had only wanted to live a quiet life with her childhood sweetheart, without competing with her elder sister for power. But now she has been left with no foundation and nothing to her name.
Unwilling to accept this, Zhaorong resolves to compete with her elder sister. But before she can even begin, Xiao Che, her sister's loyal betrothed, crushes any chance she has of gaining momentum.
Thanks to him, the whole capital mocks her as a woman with no strategy and nothing but a pretty face.
She hates Xiao Che with all her heart.
So one night, she has Xiao Che kidnapped. Her sister matters most to him, so Zhaorong plans to make him have an affair with someone else. She wants him to suffer, and she wants to cut off her sister's right-hand man.
But through a twist of fate, she ends up paying the price herself.
Only afterward does she remember just how terrifying Xiao Che is. He started with nothing, fighting his way through one bloody battle after another until he clawed his way out of a mountain of corpses. His cunning and methods are beyond anything an ordinary person could match.
When they meet again, Xiao Che backs Zhaorong into a corner, step by step. His cold blade glides slowly across her neck. But instead of the fate she expects, he leans down and kisses her fiercely.

As a boy, Xiao Che sold himself to pay for his mother's burial, kneeling in the dirt.
Hoofbeats drew near. A delicate hand lifted a carriage curtain, and a bag of silver fell before him. From afar, he glimpsed a bracelet on a pale wrist and half of a breathtaking profile revealed as the curtain fluttered in the wind.
One glance was all it took to burn the image into his heart.
Following his memory of that bracelet, he made inquiries far and wide, only to learn that its owner was a princess, low in status and without powerful connections.
After that, he joined the army and threw his life into hell, all so that one day he could stand by her side and be someone she could rely on.
Years later, he rose to the highest ranks and stood beside the princess as he'd wished. But the feelings he'd once had were gone.
Yet with another princess, though he treated her with perfect propriety, in his dreams he spent night after night tangled with her in a desperate embrace.
He'd planned to take those filthy desires to his grave.
But one day, he actually pulled her into his arms and indulged every fantasy he'd had about her.
After that, there was no stopping him.
