[Blurb]

A sweet-on-the-outside, ruthless-on-the-inside loyal leopard x a scheming younger wolf, one-on-one, mutually pursuing and doting on each other

-

Qing Zhao followed her master for five years, and admired her for just as long.

·

Her master was the notorious Demon King, a ruthless and gloomy killer who stopped at nothing, like an asura crawling out of hell.

But to Qing Zhao, her master was a ray of light shining into the abyss, her entire world.

·

When Qing Zhao was eighteen, her master's trusted aide betrayed her, and her cultivation was destroyed, taking her life with it.

She watched her master's soul lamp go out, grief-stricken beyond words, then drew her sword and stormed into the hall where they were celebrating the new clan leader's ascension.

·

Later, all across the Demon Realm, people knew that Ning Shu's obedient, gentle disciple had gone mad. With only a sword in hand, she slaughtered the entire Wolf Clan in a single night.

-

Qing Zhao thought she had said her final farewell to her master. But as she kept vigil over her master's body, she woke up to find herself back in her master's youth.

·

At this time, her master was just a helpless little girl whom anyone could bully.

When she reunited with her young master, Qing Zhao's eyes softened, and she reached out to take her hand.

·

"Come with me. I'll take you home."

-

Ning Shu had been the high-born young heir of the Wolf Clan, innocent and carefree, cherished by both her parents.

·

But one rainy night when she was thirteen, the clan's Grand Elder launched a rebellion. Her father was killed by the Grand Elder, while her mother exhausted her cultivation and used a forbidden technique to send her away.

·

She fled the Demon Realm alone, covered in wounds. Just as despair overwhelmed her, a stranger in white reached out to her.

The woman healed her, dealt with those who came to hunt her down, and gently promised to take her home.

·

From then on, no matter what situation Ning Shu found herself in, the woman in white gave her all her love.

She knew what made Ning Shu happy, understood her worries, and carefully protected her.

-

At first, Ning Shu saw Qing Zhao only as her benefactor and devoted herself to repaying her.

·

Later, she most loved holding this gentle, powerful benefactor in her arms and whispering in her ear, "A Zhao, could I have one more kiss?"

[Some notes]

1. Qing Zhao is a demon and the villain's disciple. Her way of doing things may not always be normal.

2. A pseudo-raising arc in the beginning; not a typical master-disciple story.

3. The characters' values do not represent the author's values.
