Shen Yan, a god of Cangshan, was born during the war between gods and demons. Burdened with the fate of all living beings, he is a solitary, desireless High God.
The Celestial Emperor once arranged a betrothal between him and Sui Ye, the young princess of the Xiyan clan.
Later, the Xiyan clan was wiped out, leaving only the young princess. The delicate girl came alone to the God Lord's manor to seek shelter.
Shen Yan couldn't bear to turn her away, but he had no interest in love, so he came up with a plan.
He introduced Sui Ye to Wu Xiu, the newly appointed Ghost King.
Wu Xiu was alluring in appearance and cold by nature. He had no desire to get entangled with the celestial realm, but he owed Shen Yan a favor from a thousand years ago. So when Shen Yan asked him to look after Sui Ye, Wu Xiu reluctantly agreed.
Later, after enduring countless trials, Shen Yan saw through the love and fate binding him to Sui Ye. He fell deeply in love with her and could no longer bear to be apart from her.
On Sui Ye's birthday, Shen Yan returned to the manor early, hoping to celebrate with her. Instead, he saw his little princess in Wu Xiu's arms, while the usually cold Wu Xiu gazed at her with tender affection.
And Sui Ye, her pale jade-like hand gently resting on her stomach, had a slight bump there. She was pregnant.
Only then did Shen Yan remember that over the past year, while he was in seclusion, Wu Xiu had often visited his residence. He claimed the spirit spring behind the mountain would help with cultivation. Each time he emerged, his clothes were disheveled and he looked thoroughly satisfied.
And after Wu Xiu left, Sui Ye would be unable to leave her room for three days.
