The Hour of the Demon

Coming soon: The White Moonlight Rejected by the Male Lead of a Redemption Story. Please add it to your collection! 1 Mu Meng was the beloved little princess of the Celestial Clan. Her parents treasured her, her relatives doted on her, and her older brother loved her more than life itself. Then everything changed. Someone revealed that the Crown Prince had been switched at birth and was actually a remnant of the demon clan. Because of his lowly bloodline, the Crown Prince was deposed and exiled to the Great Wilderness. Mu Meng clung to her brother's hand, heartbroken, and cried herself to sleep. That night, however, she caught him secretly kissing her while she slept. Under the moonlight, he didn't look very sad. Instead, the tips of his pale ears turned red. "Mengmeng, this... is nice, too. I've long since stopped wanting to be only your brother." 2 But it wasn't until just before Mu Meng died that she learned the truth: demons were born with hearts of stone and were skilled at deception. She had been nothing more than a useful tool in his quest for revenge. He had never felt any pity or love for her. Even his confession had been just one step in his cold-blooded scheme. When he finally conquered the Nine Heavens and carved out her heart without a hint of hesitation or mercy, he wore no expression at all. 3 When she opened her eyes again, Mu Meng understood that a Celestial princess had no reason to pity the son of a demon. Everyone noticed that the princess no longer clung to the Crown Prince. Instead, she surrounded herself with people he had always forbidden her to associate with. The General of the Mystic Heavens pledged his loyalty to her. "I would give my life for the princess." The demon prince smiled at her. "Whatever the princess desires, I will gladly place in her hands." The Ghost King of the Underworld doted on her. "It is my honor to ease the princess's burdens." Later, he pushed open the doors to her palace late at night, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse. "If you won't acknowledge me as your brother, then so be it." He placed a knife in her hand. "Take your revenge on me. Don't go to anyone else." The demon clan's chronicles record: For a demon, falling in love is the greatest tribulation of their lives. If their beloved does not return their love, they will suffer a constant, heart-wrenching pain. In mild cases, it tears their heart apart; in severe cases, they would rather be dead. Without love, they spend their lives suffering in a living hell, until they finally die in despair. In this life, everyone saw the demon remnant's soul shatter. With blood-red eyes, he humbly reached for the hem of the little princess's skirt. "Mengmeng, I have a heart..." "It hurts."

The pathetic little creature she had saved and tenderly cared for over three hundred years turned against her, personally shattering her spiritual meridians and dissolving her body. Ning Yao: I'm grateful. I've finally been waiting for this day. * Ning Yao was an ancient member of the Bodhi clan. She was kind by nature, but had no heart. Three hundred years ago, she rescued a demon who had been tortured nearly to death by the immortal sects. She cared for him lovingly, healing his old illnesses and the scars covering his body. She never looked down on him for his lowly status. She loved him wholeheartedly, always smiling as she held him and kissed him. Every time, Wen Jingzhuo would look at her with tender, helpless affection, and love her a little more. The little Bodhi healed his crippled, ugly body, and also cured his inferiority, self-loathing, sensitivity, and obsession. How could he not be utterly devoted to her, loving her to the depths of his soul? But Wen Jingzhuo didn't know that the Bodhi clan's path to ascension required them to help another person achieve enlightenment first, then die and be reborn before they could ascend. And Ning Yao's lifelong wish was to ascend. Three hundred years ago, before her elder sister failed to ascend and went into seclusion with her husband to live a happy life, she showed Ning Yao a clear path forward: "Yao Yao, our Bodhi clan is just so lovable. Who would have the heart to use one of us to achieve enlightenment?" "If you haven't given up, why not try that beast the immortal sects have locked up? Those idiots have no idea what they're dealing with. It's a member of the Cangyuan Dragon Clan." "If it works, great. If it doesn't... you can always fall in love like your sister did. A love so sweet it makes your teeth ache isn't bad, either." Her elder sister said the Cangyuan Dragon Clan had a secret: when they fell deeply enough in love, scales would grow around their hearts to block their feelings. At that point, they would instinctively develop a desire to torture and kill their beloved. Kill their wife to achieve enlightenment, ascend at once, and forget their past. A perfect solution. Ning Yao knew that scales had already grown around Wen Jingzhuo's heart. But he endured the pain that tore at his heart, hid away, and tore open his chest. He pulled out every scale as it continued to grow, then pinned down the hand that wanted to do evil with a bone nail, fighting against the instincts of his dragon clan. "Yao Yao, don't come in..." "Please, whatever you do, don't come in..." "It'll be over soon. Be good, don't come in..." Outside, Ning Yao thought in confusion: If both of them could ascend, that was better than neither of them ascending. So she went in. As always, she held him close and tenderly kissed his pale, trembling lips. * After an unknown number of years, Ning Yao was reborn and successfully ascended. She was very happy, though the investiture ceremony was rather simple. That was because the entire divine realm was frantically trying to stop the fallen god from activating a reverse-time formation. #Legend has it that he was the most powerful god in the world. Ten thousand years ago, he accidentally killed his beloved wife, and from then on fell into the Infinite Hell, walked the Road to Avici, and crossed the River of the Netherworld. #He had tormented himself until he was barely human, all to bring his beloved back to life.
