Wen Jianzhou was the master of Jingdu Peak in the Yanyun Immortal Sect. Dressed in plain robes, he was cool and detached, untouched by worldly concerns. After a thousand years of cultivation, he was seen by outsiders as the epitome of an immortal cultivator: desireless and above the mundane world.
No one knew that inside, he was an ordinary modern-day office worker. He looked as steady as a mountain, but his mind was in a constant frenzy.
When the sect elders proposed attacking the Ten Thousand Ashes Abyss, he sat calmly in the meeting and nodded. Inside, he screamed: Don't go! Don't go! That Demon Venerable, Xie Liao, is the strongest being in the three realms. One burst of his karmic fire could burn the entire sect to the ground!
Until one day, during a chance encounter at the border between the immortals and demons, Wen Jianzhou accidentally fell into a ring of red lotus karmic fire. Everyone else scattered and ran, while he was the only one who forced himself to stand still.
The red-robed Demon Venerable approached, flames dancing at his fingertips. "The whole world fears me. Why aren't you afraid at all?"
Wen Jianzhou kept an impassive face. "Though the Demon Venerable is fearsome, you have no intention of killing indiscriminately."
[Inner thoughts: Help, don't burn my lotus pond! The immortal crystals from my monthly allowance are still in my hall!]
Later, Xie Liao saw through every one of his disguises and teased him day after day, enjoying the sight of him trying to stay calm while his ears secretly turned red.
The world says immortals and demons can never be together, but in the end, a lone boat from another world was willing to moor itself in his eternal karmic fire.
Premise: Sincerity knows no divide between immortals and demons, and kindness can overcome any opposition
