[Opening in November!]
Demons and monsters have always shared one understanding.
The left protector of the Demonic Sect, Xie Wangqing, seems gentle, but in truth, he's a madman capable of anything!
In his tenth year as a member of the Demonic Sect, Xie Wangqing receives two pieces of news.
The bad news: his identity as a spy has been exposed.
The good news: for now, only one person knows.
Except that the one person is...
"Wangqing, I only keep secrets for my dao companion," says Fu Yuming, leader of the demonic cultivators, smiling warmly. "You know what to do, right?"
Fu Yuming was once Xie Wangqing's senior fellow disciple.
He was the most dazzling genius of his generation at the Sword Pavilion. As soon as he entered the Dao realm, he fought his way through the Demonic Domain alone, slew the demon king, and then reached the threshold of ascension with a single sword that united heaven and man.
But one day, that bright moon hanging high in the sky fell into demonic ways.
...Xie Wangqing doesn't know how his senior brother became like this.
He endures the humiliation, forms a dao companion pact with Fu Yuming, and sleeps with him. When the righteous sects surround the Demonic Sect, he waits for his chance to run his sword through the demon's heart.
Then he discovers that Fu Yuming is the righteous world's deepest undercover agent.
His death was the final move in the other's plan.
Xie Wangqing develops a heart demon.
After the Demonic Sect is destroyed, he doesn't return to the Sword Pavilion, instead wandering the world to clear his mind.
On his travels, he meets a physician who cultivates the healing arts.
The physician is wonderful in every way and can indeed help suppress his heart demon. He's just a little clingy.
Xie Wangqing never sees the physician watching him with a delighted smile as he tosses and turns in the grip of a heart-demon nightmare, murmuring Fu Yuming's name.
When the surviving members of the Demonic Sect come seeking revenge, Xie Wangqing means to tell the physician to abandon him and run. Instead, he sees the seemingly frail physician casually snap off a bamboo branch and release a sword intent that scatters the demonic cultivator's soul.
But why is that sword intent exactly like Fu Yuming's?
Then, right before his eyes, the physician transforms into Fu Yuming.
Having had his fun teasing Xie Wangqing, Fu Yuming is thoroughly satisfied and just wants to get close to his dao companion. But then his dao companion points a sword at him, claiming he is a manifestation of the heart demon and must be destroyed.
Fu Yuming pushes the blade aside, smiling dangerously.
"Take another look. Who am I?"
* A fake demon lord, scheming and wickedly playful sect leader gong × a seemingly mad, gentle beauty, a secretly ruthless undercover shou.
* A story about a bright moon hanging high in the sky, except the moon has become corrupted. Their feelings are strongly mutual, but beware, the angst is intense.
Theme: My fate is in my own hands.
