Ascending to Heaven, Descending to Earth

Originally titled How Could I Fall for a Demon?

The current title comes from Everlasting Regret: "Parting the clouds, riding the air, flying like lightning; searching everywhere, ascending to heaven and descending to earth."

Blurb:

Demons are running amok in Chang'an. Ning Yanshu, a Celestial Master of the Lingyang Sect, volunteers to descend the mountain to hunt demons and punish evil. But her main purpose on this journey is not to hunt demons. It is to find someone...

After three hundred years in seclusion, the sect has undergone tremendous changes. By the time she emerges, everything has changed.

Everyone says that her gentle, refined senior brother, Qian Nanxun, betrayed the sect and colluded with demons. But she refuses to believe it. She finds the clues her senior brother left behind and heads to Chang'an alone, using demon hunting as her excuse.

In Chang'an, she meets a very interesting person: Chang Yan, the young marquis of the Chang family, who have run the Wenyin Pavilion for a hundred years.

She can tell he wants her dead.

As it happens, she doesn't want him alive, either.

Their identities are exposed at the same time. In the middle of their fight, the ancient magical artifact known as the Seven Emotions Thread suddenly winds around them. When they learn what it does, they discover they are bound to live and die together! They are forced into the same boat.

As they travel and explore, she is amazed to discover that this great demon is not as repulsive-looking as the rumors claim.

And Chang Yan, to his surprise, finds this Celestial Master rather adorable.

In an eighteen-story tomb, spiritual power is forbidden. They can only climb up one step at a time.

Ning Yanshu spits out a mouthful of blood, carries Chang Yan on her back, and hauls him up from the abyss by sheer force.

"With me here, you won't die."

You came to my world, so naturally I should go and see yours.

Across the barren wilderness, with sandstorms filling the sky and stinging the eyes, Ning Yanshu leans on her cane and walks on, year after year...

She searches from heaven to earth, all for the sake of finding you.
