Jiang Nai, ruler of the demon realm, took a nap and woke to discover that she was the vicious antagonist in an xianxia novel. In the end, the male lead would seal her on a sacred mountain, where passing celestial birds would peck her full of holes.
At this point, the male lead was still the sickly crown prince of the human kingdom of Ning, and was only expected to live until he was eighteen. To survive, he had to choose an auspicious day to marry a woman whose birth chart harmonized with his.
Should she take this chance to kill him and nip the problem in the bud?
No. Jiang Nai transformed herself into a fake Crown Princess.
If one male lead fell, another would come along to save the Heavenly Dao.
She would make the male lead fall into the abyss forever, and team up with him, the antagonist, to fight the Heavenly Dao.
[A ruthless demoness X a seemingly virtuous Crown Prince who is even more ruthless than she is]
After the Crown Prince recovered, rumors that the Crown Princess was a monster threw the people into a panic.
Jiang Nai was sentenced to death and paraded through the streets in a prison cart.
That day, amid the crowd’s curses, Ning Songheng, filthy and disheveled, ran so hard he lost his shoes, then threw himself in front of the gleaming executioner’s blade with nothing but his mortal body.
If you’re going to put on an act, you have to make it convincing. Jiang Nai shoved him away. Her head and body were separated, her eyes full of love, never closing even in death.
After that, Ning Songheng followed the same path as in the original story and embarked on a long journey into the immortal world. But he wielded his sword not for all under heaven, only for a demoness named Jiang Nai.
