After Being Dumped, She Seduced Her Ex-Wife's Archenemy

That year, Jinyue found a bewitchingly charming, unreasonable nine-tailed fox demon at the foot of the mountain.

The fox demon insisted on marrying her, but on their wedding day, imprisoned her in a dungeon and made her suffer until she wished for death.

As she lay helpless and despairing, a shaft of light entered the dim dungeon. The blade in the fox demon's hand gleamed with a chilling, bone-deep cold.

"Once I kill you, I'll become the heir."

"Don't worry. I'll find you in your next life."

The fox demon smiled tenderly.

Jinyue understood that she was nothing but a stepping stone to the eldest prince of the demon race, Huaiyou, on his path to power.

When Jinyue awakes from a long dream, she finds herself in the human realm's foremost cultivation city, Xingling City.

Xie Huaizhu, the second prince of the demon race, has been held there as a hostage for four years.

A chance that couldn't be any easier.

The eldest prince of the demon race is determined to take the throne of the Demon Emperor. Jinyue is determined to stop her from getting her way.

Jinyue goes to great lengths to get close to Xie Huaizhu:

Seduction, scheming, deception, betrayal...

"If you can't forgive me, then don't. I'll pay for it with my life one day."

All she wants is for the gentle, good-hearted Xie Huaizhu to fight her way back to the Sacred Demon Hall and challenge Huaiyou for the throne.

She never wants to hurt her.

But on the day the ground is strewn with blood-red petals, Xie Huaizhu looks up with dull, lifeless eyes and laughs softly, as if mocking herself or finally finding release.

"Apart from the first time we met, when you said I disgusted you, everything else was a lie..."

And yet she is the one Jinyue has hurt the most.

Jinyue is overwhelmed with guilt and regret.

Xie Huaizhu stabs her through with her sword.

On the day she succeeds to the throne of Demon Emperor, Xie Huaizhu imprisons Nan Jinyue in the imperial palace and torments her in every way.

"Every blessing and punishment is a gift from your sovereign. Nan Jinyue, whether you like it or hate it, you'll never leave me in this life."

Nan Jinyue lies in a pool of blood, murderous intent blazing in her eyes. "I was already sick of marrying you and pretending to love you day and night! Every time I see you, I feel sick. I wish I could tear you to pieces..."

Xie Huaizhu turns her back. Her expression is impossible to see, and all that can be heard is a faint, faint scoff.

After that, they do not see each other for years in the palace, as distant as the stars Shen and Shang.

When they meet again, Xie Huaizhu looks at her with a gaze as flat as still water, as indifferent as she was when they first met. Jinyue suddenly panics.

"So every word, every deed, was nothing but false affection."

No, that's not true. I really do like you.

Xie Huaizhu, I only like you.
