To repay the debt she owed him for saving her life, the little fox Liu Rong stayed by Si Minyu's side for a hundred years, finally earning a marriage contract.
On the eve of their wedding, however, she accidentally glimpsed her fate: she was merely a stand-in for the beloved woman in a book, while Si Minyu was the book's corrupted immortal lord, a great villain who would imprison the heroine and do anything for her. When the heroine's beloved returned, Liu Rong would be tortured in body and mind, skinned, have her core ripped out, and die without a whole corpse.
That very night, Liu Rong packed her things and left without looking back. This debt? Whoever wants to repay it can do so. She was done!
Two hundred years later, Liu Rong had become a formidable demon in her own right. She occasionally heard that the Unbound Immortal Lord, Si Minyu, had fallen prey to inner demons after his Dao companion fled their wedding, and had shut himself away in seclusion.
Liu Rong: Hmph! She didn't believe it!
Until she entered an ancient spirit realm to break through to the next level and the realm began to collapse. Amid the chaos, she happened to save a man covered in blood and barely breathing.
The moment she wiped the blood from his face, Liu Rong's pupils contracted. It was Si Minyu!
She turned to flee, but a cold hand clamped around her wrist.
The once aloof, otherworldly immortal lord now had blood-red eyes, filled with obsessive madness. "Two hundred years... You couldn't even be bothered to give me an explanation?"
Liu Rong tried to shake him off. "An explanation? You were treating me as someone else's shadow, too."
"A shadow?" Si Minyu looked incredulous, then laughed in disbelief, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes. "For a hundred years, when have I ever had anyone but you by my side? You promised me forever, then broke that promise again and again. You vanished without a word on the eve of our wedding... Liu Rong, which one of us is the faithless one?"
His grip was astonishingly strong as he pinned her tightly against his chest. His voice was hoarse and trembling. "For these two hundred years, I've searched for you every single day. Don't leave again... I'm begging you."
Liu Rong went completely rigid.
Wait... This wasn't how the story was supposed to go. Could it be that the scoundrel who broke the immortal lord's heart and drove him to corruption...
was actually her?
