Mei Hanzhi had cultivated the Dao for a thousand years. She was just one step away from shedding her demon bones and becoming an immortal. Fortunately, she received guidance from Grandpa Ginseng. She transformed herself into an orphan girl and spent a hundred years begging for alms, living among mortals in human form, all to find the chance to ascend to immortality.
At the end of winter, as spring began, the snow in the mountains had yet to melt. Someone knocked on the bamboo gate of a small courtyard halfway up the mountainside. A young gentleman stood outside.
The moment Mei Hanzhi opened the gate, she recognized him for what he was: a cultivator.
A guest in the mountains, long removed from the world. Once he ventured out, the winds and clouds were bound to change.
At the time, he was traveling through the mortal world, making this the perfect opportunity for her to find her chance to ascend...
Li Qingshan had cultivated on Mount Kongtong since childhood. Later, his master ordered him to descend the mountain and travel the world. It was that very year that he met Mei Hanzhi.
She was a little demon living in the mountains, imitating mortals without knowing what her true form was.
At first, Li Qingshan thought she was good at disguising herself and had some ulterior motive for approaching him.
But gradually, Li Qingshan began to think that perhaps he could guide her, and let her go once she could tell right from wrong.
Later, Li Qingshan no longer wanted to let her leave. He no longer cared why she had approached him, or what her demon form really was.
All he wanted was to be with Mei Hanzhi for a long, long time.
