Shui Nongfu was orphaned as a child and never knew what it was like to be loved. Before long, the demon clan took her in and made her a spy.
Years later, when Jinyun Shu's longbow pierced her heart, she smiled bitterly.
It turned out taking a man's life was easier than taking his heart.
When she awoke again, even after Jinyun Shu drank the Seven Nights Heartbreak Flower for her and blocked the Heaven-Slaying Demon-Subduing Sword, she only smiled indifferently.
Alas, it was too late.
Only later did she see the truth in the water mirror...
Jinyun Shu carried her bloodstained body to the River of Forgetfulness and called for her soul for five hundred years.
The man who had always been cool and merciless left a trail of bloody, pearl-like tears across the bone-chilling ice.
Shui Nongfu scoffed. What a pity. Reborn once more, she would live for herself alone!
*
Jinyun Shu was aloof and ascetic. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have become the cultivation world's most eligible bachelor for ten thousand years. The great immortal sects waited eagerly to see what would become of him, never expecting that in the end, for the sake of one person, he would willingly become a vessel for the demon clan, just to leave himself a way home after death.
Content warnings:
1. This story features an undercover spy, but it is not a mystery. It's a light read that won't make you think too hard.
2. The male lead loves the female lead in both lives. The earlier problems were caused by a misunderstanding.
3. The male lead's personality changes: aloof at first, then possessive and unpredictable.
4. The author writes according to their own heart and will not be pressured to change the story or tolerate comparisons that put other works down. If the premise bothers you, please drop the story and don't harass the author.
Lastly, I hope every lovely reader finds the right person in life, someone who loves them back and helps them become their best selves.
Synopsis of "The Incense Ashes Bind Your Heart"
On the night of the full moon, Mo Xuan's demon blood ran wild. He abducted a woman from the foot of the mountain, imprisoned her in a cold pool, and forced her to use her blood as an ingredient to make soul-calming incense.
At a grand feast of the demon clan, he watched coldly as the demoness Chi Lian shoved Shen Tanyi into the Pit of Ten Thousand Snakes. He picked up only the sachet she had dropped and sneered, "A lowly human deserves to be fed to snakes."
Later, on a snowy night atop Qingming Mountain, the serpent tail wrapped around Shen Tanyi's waist was soaked in blood.
The Serpent Lord, who once looked down on the Three Realms, knelt at Shen Tanyi's feet and caught the falling incense ashes with his bare hands.
The soul-calming incense ashes he had once ground to dust now burned through his demon bones, which had endured for a thousand years.
"Lady Shen once said she'd pull out my tendons and use them to make incense..." His eyes were bloodshot as he let the ashes burn through the vulnerable spot beneath his seventh vertebra. "Why not cut out my heart too and make it into an eternal lamp? What do you say?"
Shen Tanyi smiled as she stepped on his severed tail. "My lord, you know about soul-calming incense, but do you know what heart-slaying incense is?"
She lifted his chin, stained with snake's blood, and slammed the incense burner against his chest. "A hundred years ago, when you forced me to jump from the Executioner's Terrace to prove your path, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
[Extra Scene]
When the new Wolf King arrived seeking an audience with eighty-one chests of betrothal gifts, he found Mo Xuan in his original form, coiled around the incense burner.
The black serpent's golden pupils narrowed to slits. "My wife used my shed skin to make a sachet last night."
His tail brazenly swept away all the gifts. "She already has my scales. What could any of you possibly offer her?"
Shen Tanyi flung a poisoned silver needle from the pavilion. "That's a shroud I made for you!"
A cold-blooded snake demon destroys his core and turns to ash for his wife
An incense maker imprisons her natural enemy and uses him as a living furnace
A double-life revenge romance: she runs, he pursues, and there's nowhere for her to hide
"You want power over the world? I'll turn incense into a blade and make you kneel, begging for my mercy."

3. Double the groveling in both past and present lives. The snake pursues his wife from their past life into this one.
Theme: Believe that you deserve to be loved.
——Copywriting of "The Incense Binds the King's Heart"——
On the night of the full moon, the Mo Xuan demon went into a bloody riot, kidnapped a woman from the mountain, imprisoned her in the cold pool, and forced her to use blood as a source of requiem incense.
On that day when the demon clan was having a feast, he watched with cold eyes as Chi Lian Enchantress pushed Shen Tanyi down the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, but he only picked up the sachet she left behind and sneered: "Despicable humans should feed the snakes."
Later, on a windy and snowy night at the top of Qingming Mountain, the snake's tail wrapped around Shen Tan's waist was soaked in blood.
The snake king who used to look down on the three realms knelt outside Qixiang Pavilion and caught the ashes she poured with his bare hands.
Those requiem incense embers that he had crushed were now burning through his thousand-year-old demonic bones.
"Pavilion Master Shen said back then that he would pull out my sinews to make incense..." His eyes were scarlet, and he let her pierce the demon-locking nail seven inches, "Why don't you gouge out your heart and make an ever-bright lamp?"
Shen Tanyi smiled and stepped on his severed tail, the mist of Burning Heart Incense entangled the cracks in the demon pill, "Your Majesty, do you know what Heart-killing Incense is?"
She raised her chin stained with snake blood and pressed the incense burner against his heart. "A hundred years ago, when you forced me to jump to the Immortal Execution Platform to prove the truth, this incense... Was planted in your soul."
**Small Theater**
When the new Wolf King asked for an audience with eighty-one boxes of betrothal gifts, he saw Mo Xuan's original form sitting on the incense burner.
Black Snake's golden eyes stood up: "Madam used my peeled skin to sew a sachet last night."
The snake's tail arrogantly swept away all the betrothal gifts: "Now that she has taken my scales, who are you?"
Tan Yi threw the poison-quenching silver needle from the pavilion: "That's the shroud sewn for you!"
◆The cold-blooded snake demon broke the elixir into ashes for his wife◆
◆The incense maker rebelled and imprisoned his natural enemy as a cauldron◆
◆Double crematoriums in past and present lives·She can't fly when she escapes from him◆
"If you want to dominate the world, I will burn incense as a blade and ask you to kneel down and beg for my mercy."
