Yu Qing, a disciple of the Wanling Sect, went to the Demon Realm to find medicine for his master, who was in seclusion. Instead, he fell into the hands of the Demon Lord, Situ Shu.
They said this demoness was ruthless, devious, and cunning, which was why all the cultivators of the Demon Realm followed her lead.
Yu Qing could only blame himself for failing to ease his master's worries. He never expected to be sent into Situ Shu's bedchamber.
Situ Shu lounged on a soft couch, her red hair framing her beautiful face.
Twining a strand of hair around her finger, she drawled, "Daoist Yu, it's been a long time."
Yu Qing had never met her.
But for some reason, he thought of his master, Li Xuanwei, who was in seclusion.
She was like the bright moon, like pristine snow: a forbidden desire he had harbored for three hundred years.
How could a demon like this be compared to his master?
In the Demon Realm, Yu Qing was forced to offer Situ Shu his body. He endured every kind of humiliation in exchange for the spirit herb he needed.
Upon returning to the immortal sect, Yu Qing forced himself to meet with his master, but didn't dare meet her eyes even once.
Yet the moment he left the hall, a shadow slipped out of his own and closed in around him.
As Yu Qing was degraded, tears streamed down his face. Looking toward the room just beyond the wall, he begged humbly, "I beg you... don't let her find out..."

Everyone in the immortal sect said Li Xuanwei played favorites. In all those centuries, she had taken only Yu Qing as her disciple and doted on him immensely.
But Situ Shu sensed every bit of those feelings, sharing in them as if they were her own.
We are of the same root. Why are you the moon in the sky while I am dust on the ground?
You don't dare admit how vile your true feelings are, so I'll do it for you.

Yu Qing seemed to dream that his master, Li Xuanwei, drew him into her arms and kissed him tenderly.
But Yu Qing felt utterly defiled.
It couldn't possibly be real.

The heroine's main body and clone are the same person. They will eventually merge into one, but they can also separate again whenever they like. Heh heh heh.
Girl x boy. The blurb and the male lead's name will be changed later.
Theme: We share the same roots, so why destroy each other?
