Demons ran rampant, and the cultivation world was in chaos. Yan Cangjin, who had been traveling with them, was bitten by a venomous snake while killing it to save their lives.
The snake's aphrodisiac venom could only be neutralized by having sex with a woman eighteen times.
There were four of them traveling together. Apart from Ji Fangyin, the only woman was the junior sister from the Jingchen Sect.
But when the junior sister stepped forward, her usually gentle and well-mannered fiancé, Liang Wenyu, flew into a rage. His eyes held the possessiveness of a man toward a woman.
They looked at each other, a fierce and wordless tension pulling them together.
Ji Fangyin could not understand: when had they formed such a deep bond right under her nose?
Late that night, Liang Wenyu came to find her, pain filling his eyes. "Fangyin, please."
Ji Fangyin closed her eyes, understanding that he had already made his choice.
So she nodded.

Liang Wenyu had always thought of Ji Fangyin as the woman he would spend his life with. But at the thought of his junior sister being intimate with another man, it felt as if termites were devouring his heart.
He could not bear the pain, so he chose to ask Fangyin for help.
He was destined to be her husband. He would not mind, and he would still marry her as they had promised, spending the rest of his life by her side.
As for his junior sister... He would treat it as one beautiful dream from the past. He would protect her one last time, then stop before it was too late and spend his life with Fangyin.
Yan Cangjin's cultivation was profound, and the stronger he was, the more potent the snake venom became for him. The cave was crude, and through the crisscrossing branches, Liang Wenyu could not help seeing the intimate details of the treatment.
On the first night, he saw Fangyin's brows, initially furrowed, slowly relax as she came to savor the experience.
On the second night, he heard the alluring sounds escaping Fangyin's lips.
On the third night, he saw Yan Cangjin hold her, and saw her raise her arms to embrace the man before her.
And there were still fifteen more unbearable nights.
Jealousy drove him mad. By day, he went to see her, his sleepless eyes bloodshot. "It's just a way to neutralize the venom. Why do you have to respond to him? You can't hug him, you can't make a sound, and you definitely can't... kiss him."
