My Best Friend Is a Demon Immortal

Jiang Yiran, a rookie at a film and television company, crosses paths with a mysterious girl. From then on, all kinds of bizarre and inexplicable things start happening in her life. Stranger still, by a twist of fate, the girl becomes Jiang Yiran's roommate. She says her name is "Hu Tingxian." Just like her name, Jiang Yiran thinks there's something uncanny and mysterious about her roommate, so she starts investigating. Instead of solving the mystery of Tingxian's past, however, she discovers that Tingxian is loyal and straightforward. The two become close friends, and Jiang Yiran introduces Tingxian to her childhood friend, the Taoist nun Mu Ziwei. The three of them accidentally uncover a conspiracy by a commercial conglomerate in Pujiang, bringing to light an unsolved case from years ago. Along with Lao Bai, a former criminal police captain who has secretly investigated the case for years, and a fake Taoist priest who freeloads wherever he goes, the three women set out to track down the culprit behind the massacre of the "Ghost-Eyed Divine Steed" family.

In the end, all clues point to Zeng Tuozhi, a powerful business figure in Pujiang. He was the culprit behind the massacre of the "Ghost-Eyed Divine Steed" family. After enduring countless dangers, Tingxian, Jiang Yiran, and Mu Ziwei, with help from experts including Lao Bai, the young Taoist priest, and Mu Ziwei's uncle, use all sorts of clever tactics to evade Zeng Tuozhi's pursuit. They exploit the internal conflicts between Zeng Shuishan, Uncle Kun, and Zeng Tuozhi, ultimately crushing Zeng Tuozhi's faction and bringing him to justice.

During this process, Jiang Yiran accidentally eats a rare blood fruit of the Tushan clan. She inherits the Tushan clan's nine-tailed fox ancestor's legacy, the Nine-Tailed Blue Plume, and eventually awakens, discovering her true identity and her mission in this life.

It turns out that at the end of the Shang dynasty, as the Investiture of the Gods campaign concluded, everyone was granted divine status. Even the most wicked demons of the Chan Sect, who had caused countless deaths and injuries among the people, were elevated to high divine positions. But the thousand-year-old fox spirit Su Daji, the nine-headed pheasant spirit Hu Ximei, and the jade pipa spirit Wang Yuqing, three sisters, had been ordered by the goddess Nuwa to bring down the Great Shang dynasty. They succeeded, but in the end, the three sisters were accused of disrupting the Shang court and murdering its loyal officials, and were killed one by one by that old geezer Jiang Ziya. Goddess Nuwa didn't even stand up for them. The three sisters refused to accept this. If they hadn't disrupted the Shang court or murdered its loyal officials, could the armies of Western Zhou have entered the Shang capital and defeated King Zhou, Di Xin? Could the Chan Sect have utterly defeated the Jie Sect and completed the Investiture of the Gods? What a terrible injustice the three sisters had suffered!

Because their souls had been wronged and their grievance remained unresolved, the three sisters' resentment grew overwhelming. Led by Su Daji's elder sister, their remaining souls went in person to the Fire Cloud Cave on Ziyun Cliff to explain what had happened to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Fuxi, Nuwa's elder brother, mildly reprimanded her for failing to care for her subordinates. The Yan Emperor Shennong sympathized with them and personally gave them three Ziyun mushrooms to eat. This was how the sisters obtained the hard-won chance to reincarnate in the mortal world nine times.

Nuwa felt somewhat guilty, so she informed the Heavenly Lord Haotian and ordered all the gods responsible for the sisters' deaths to descend to the mortal realm and undergo tribulations alongside them. They could either earn the forgiveness of one of the three sisters and be personally sent on their way by us, then return to Heaven and resume their divine posts, or wait until all nine reincarnations were complete before returning to Heaven.

But more than three thousand years have passed, and Su Daji failed to awaken in each of her first eight lives. To help her awaken, in the eighth life Hu Ximei had no choice but to serve the great demon Hua Jie. She learned the Soul-Returning Corpse Art from the Divine Manual of Demon Arts, written by Goddess Nuwa, and swore to awaken Su Daji in this life so the three sisters could ascend to divine positions in Heaven together.

But in all these three thousand years, the sisters have never forgiven, much less sent on their way, any of the gods who descended to undergo tribulations. In every life, either Hu Ximei and Wang Yuqing failed to find their elder sister Su Daji, or they found her only to see her die tragically in that life. That's why they refuse to forgive.

In this final, ninth life, can Su Daji awaken? Can the three sisters return to Heaven and take their places among the immortals? And can the gods who have spent three thousand years descending to the mortal world to undergo tribulations with them finally be set free?
