A thousand years ago, four extraordinarily gifted sorcerers appeared on this continent. Wielding three-foot swords, they slew demons and drove them into desolate, remote lands.
They founded four families devoted to hunting demons: Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju.
A thousand years later, the descendants of the four families have come of age. But after Lan Ruo, a descendant of the Lan family, enters school, she begins to foresee all sorts of strange events: a purple wood demon willing to give up her life for love, an ancient monster who once unleashed bloody chaos after love turned to hatred, and a demon elder who spends all day raving... Demons have the same human emotions and desires. Why must they be exterminated?
The four families seem peaceful on the surface, but beneath it, tensions run high. They scheme against one another, stab each other in the back, and even turn against their own kin.
It feels pretty good, but is the author cheating...
