Jiu Yi is descended from the most powerful branch of the Phoenix clan. She has extraordinary talent and an exceptional constitution, but she's born sensitive and afraid of pain, and refuses at all costs to endure the hardships of cultivation.
By the time she is attacked, she hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Luckily, she has a cultivation partner who doesn't mind her fragility and pampers her to no end. What's more, her partner is so powerful that she is just one step away from the pinnacle.
Jiu Yi is perfectly content. But if she had to name her partner's one flaw, it would be that she's far too beautiful. Even with a partner who has vowed to spend her life with Jiu Yi, there's still a whole crowd of demon cultivators pursuing her.
As Jiu Yi dies, she's still worrying about whether someone has stolen her irresistibly charming partner away. After all, her partner is the only one who would keep watch over her for days and nights while she cultivates.
Then something goes wrong when Jiu Yi is reborn in flames, and when she hatches, she's back in her infant form.
When she is born, the entire demon realm assumes she's the posthumous child of her and her partner. Meanwhile, the rivals who have thrown themselves against the stone wall that is her partner seem to awaken to a startling idea:
If they can't win the Demon King's heart, they can try another way: pursue the Demon King's little one!
The White Tiger princess of Dongshan, the peerless sword cultivator of Huashan, the frenzied, bloodthirsty ruler of the Demon Domain...
Jiu Yi looks at these cultivators, who have probably been single so long they've lost their way. She looks sweet and adorable on the outside, but trembles inside.
Hey, is my partner there? If you don't come out of seclusion soon, these desperate cultivators are going to eat me alive.
