As an obscure little fairy in the Celestial Realm, Linlang finds it harder than reaching the heavens to get promoted.
Just then, the Celestial Realm starts recruiting fairies to descend to the mortal world and seduce the fiendish Demon Lord, make him fall in love, then seize the chance to kill him.
She only meant to give it a try, but after clearing one hurdle after another, she actually tricks the fearsome demon into dying for love.
Wonderful.
She cheerfully abandons the body made from Kunlun immortal wood, returns to the Celestial Realm to accept her reward, gets promoted, drinks the Potion of Severed Affection, and becomes the mountain god of a sacred mountain. She enjoys a carefree life for hundreds of years and completely forgets the Demon Lord.
Five hundred years later, the Celestial Realm promotes a junior immortal official and assigns him to serve in her palace.
The junior official is handsome and has a lovely personality. So when they lose themselves in passion one night and she wakes to find him beside her the next morning, she isn't all that surprised.
If you've slept with someone, naturally you should give him a proper title.
So she prepares a memorial to the Celestial Court, formally proposing to promote the junior official to Mountain Lord.
"Thank you for your favor, Lady Mountain God." The junior official lowers his eyes. "But... I heard that you already had a husband. I'm afraid..."
"He died ages ago!" Linlang waves a hand. "Don't worry about it. I can't even remember what he looked like."
With that, Linlang hurries out with the memorial. Naturally, she doesn't notice the faintly stiff expression on her handsome junior official's face.

After willingly dying for the woman he loved, the Demon Lord Chongxiao discovers, through the fragment of his spirit that survived, that it had all been a scheme to kill him. He comes to hate her to the bone.
A fragment of his spirit spends five hundred years restoring itself, then takes the form of a junior immortal official and infiltrates the Celestial Realm. He is determined to repay her in kind: once Linlang loves him most, he will kill her and make her suffer the heart-piercing agony he once endured.
So he takes care of her in every way, handles her duties, takes her to enjoy herself in the mortal world, and uses his good looks to tempt her into growing close to him.
"My lord, shall we make our move now?"
"No. Wait a little longer."
"My lord, what about now?"
"No. Wait a little longer."
"My lord, we..."
"Wait a little longer."
"...May I ask what you're waiting for, my lord?"
"..."
What was he waiting for? Chongxiao lowers his eyes. Naturally, he is waiting for her... to fall in love with him, love him most, and love only him.
The demons are greedy by nature, and the Demon Lord most of all. So day after day, month after month, there is no end to it, and he is never satisfied.

After Linlang toyed with the demon and abandoned him, she drank the Potion of Severed Affection and completely forgot she had ever had a husband.
Later, she falls into the demon's hands again. He says he will take revenge and make her suffer as he once did.
She trembles, afraid to look at him, terrified he'll strike her dead with a single blow.
But the demon leans down, his face livid, grabs the soft flesh of her cheek, and grits his teeth as he says:
"Linlang, I want you to kiss me."
Huh? Kiss him?
She freezes... That's it?
