A thousand years later, in the modern world.
Chu Chuanling has cultivated for nine lifetimes and become a great demon. If he can make it through one more lifetime, he'll ascend to immortality.
But the Heavenly Dao plays a cruel joke on him: in his tenth life, he is given a body born with an incomplete heart meridian, leaving him disabled.
A great demon who refuses to give up, despite his disability, leads a group of similarly determined monsters in finding a way to survive in the new socialist world.
