Dai Yuexi was the daughter of the lord of Piaomiao Islet, a sect in the immortal realm. When she was seventeen, her father forced her to hunt down a little villain rumored to be utterly wicked.
She tortured him until he was covered in wounds and splattered with blood. Dai Yuexi felt guilty: I'm sorry, brother. I was forced to do this!
The youth raised a pair of clear, bright eyes and smiled. It wasn't your fault.
Those words left her completely stunned.
He had to be a good person.
An innocent, pitiful good person.
Long oppressed by her elders, Dai Yuexi made a rebellious decision then and there.
She would join forces with him and help him escape.
Their flight was fraught with danger. The little villain often wore a sly smile and spoke with a sharp tongue, yet whenever she faced danger, he was always the first to shield her and protect her impeccably. Even with his clothes stained with blood, he remained lazy and composed.
As they spent day and night together, Yuexi gradually let down her guard, thinking that having him as a friend seemed worth it after all.
But when the great battle among the immortal sects erupted, leaving corpses strewn across the land and rivers of blood, she heard the news that the little villain had died in battle.
Overcome with grief, Yuexi was even more bewildered.
He was clearly so powerful...
How could he have died...
He couldn't possibly be dead...
Then someone told her:
"He isn't dead at all!"
"He's the new Celestial Emperor, the utterly wicked tyrant who murdered his own father!"
Dai Yuexi looked up in a daze and saw him: the youth who had once laughed and played with her and shared hardships by her side, now sitting regally on the dragon throne as countless people knelt before him.
