A Qing Comes to Brush the Willows

As the ancients say: When a human and a demon fall in love, their fate is always to be parted by life or death, never to meet again.

But she, Ran Xiaoliu, refused to believe in that superstition.

The cat demon loved to wander by Willow Bridge. For more than ten years, he had only wished to protect her from the shadows and hear her call him "Beloved." The Hundred-Day Pill, which drives out evil spirits, was already too late, even after she took it and regretted it.

Through three partings by life and death, he waited a hundred years, clinging to his wish. Since he'd made a mistake, he might as well see it through to the end.

So what if I'm a demon? If I like you, then I like you. If you die one day, if my family is destroyed, then I'll leave the human world behind and follow you, even unto death!

This is the romantic prequel about the parents of Yu Mai (Ran Qingyu), the heroine of the long fantasy novel White Jade Blood.
