The Black Moonlight of the Black Lotus

Everyone knows that Zhenjun Guiling, the aloof beauty of the cultivation world, once had a beloved who died young.

They met when they were both nobodies. Zhenjun Guiling cherished and loved her, remaining alone for hundreds and thousands of years.

Everyone also knows that the bloodthirsty, brooding Demon Emperor had someone he loved but could never have, a cinnabar mole he went mad for and lost himself over.

He personally led an army of a hundred thousand to the border, putting the entire cultivation world on edge and everyone in fear. All he wanted was to claim the white bones of that cinnabar mole.

It wasn't until after her death that Yu Chu, the short-lived beloved, learned she was living in a book.

Except this story was about him, her, and him.

The woman Guiling held dearest, the one who drove the Demon Lord mad, was the same girl named Wei Liuyin.

And Yu Chu, the so-called beloved, was robbed of her fortune and cut down by her husband Guiling on their wedding day.

After being reborn, Yu Chu only wanted to do two things:

Train hard, and one day smash Guiling's stupid head in.

Make friends with the Demon Lord to help Pei Xiu rid himself of the demonic energy plaguing him.

After all, that young man... had spent only a few short months with her, yet was stabbed through the heart by Guiling while avenging her.

But Yu Chu never saw what came later.

She didn't know that Pei Xiu would die beneath Guiling's sword, his soul destroyed, then enter the demonic path with an empty heart and become the Demon Emperor feared throughout the cultivation world.

Nor did she know that the Demon Lord would sit all night, holding the white bones he had reclaimed. "A Chu... I've come to find you."

He raised his sword and took his own life. A rain of blood fell.

*

Yu Chu never imagined that in this life Pei Xiu would become her junior fellow disciple. Even less did she imagine that one day she would be afraid of him.

He cornered her against the wall, his eyes red with hurt.

"You're avoiding me again."

"Are you going to look for him again?"

His tone suddenly turned cold. "Stop looking. He's right here."

Yu Chu watched him take off his mask: ⊙▽⊙

Can someone tell me why Pei Xiu looks exactly like the Demon Lord?!

#She is his true beloved, his cinnabar mole

The only faith he keeps in his heart and engraves upon his bones#
