[He Is a Stand-In.]
When they first met, she followed her fiance's lead and called him, "Uncle."
Back then, his heart was unmoved.
He never imagined that one day the title would stir up dark thoughts in him, leaving him consumed by jealousy and unable to sleep.
Later, he built high walls and forged golden locks. He was willing to make a cage of his own life, doing everything in his power to trap this half-demon, a liar with a cold and merciless heart!
(I)
Wei Xing, young master of the Wei family, met a stunning, orphaned girl while traveling to hone his skills. He fell in love at first sight and resolutely pledged himself to her. The two were perfectly matched, and their deep devotion became the talk of the whole Wei family.
On the eve of their wedding, Wei Xing met with disaster.
When news of his death arrived, his fiancee, Chun Yan, was devastated and fainted from grief.
When she awoke, her memories were jumbled, and she mistook Wei Xing's uncle, Wei Ci, for her fiance.
*
Chun Yan was an ambitious half-demon. She had approached Wei Xing to obtain the Wei family's ancestral treasure, purify her bloodline, and become a truly powerful demon. Just as she was about to get what she wanted, Wei Xing suddenly died.
Unwilling to give up halfway, Chun Yan steeled herself and set her sights on Wei Xing's uncle, Wei Ci, the head of the Wei family, who bore some resemblance to him.
But Wei Ci was fierce and stern, and knew nothing of romance. No matter what she tried, he remained unmoved.
Just as Chun Yan was gradually losing hope, Wei Xing came back alive!
Overjoyed, she immediately abandoned this unyielding rock.
At last, on the night of her wedding to Wei Xing, Chun Yan sat waiting in the bridal chamber.
The door opened.
She looked up in delight and saw the head of the Wei family, dressed in wedding robes, walking toward her step by step.
He lowered his eyes and smiled gently. "My wife, thank you for waiting."
(II)
The Wei family rules:
Demons are cunning, sinister, and full of tricks. They excel at beguiling the hearts of men. If you encounter one, kill it at once!
Wei Ci had always strictly followed the family rules. He had slain countless demons and never once shown mercy.
He was the most renowned demon slayer.
He never imagined that one day he would fall into the hands of a deceitful, heartless half-demon.
His heart softened, his blade grew dull, and from then on he became a plaything in her palm.
*
The day she succeeded, Chun Yan took the treasure and left without hesitation.
Beneath the dim night sky, a tall figure stood firmly in her way.
He stood with his sword in hand. "Once you enter the Wei family, you are one of us. My wife, you will not leave this gate."
