The Embers of Love in a Fleeting Life

Demon girl x celestial genius

When Feng Lishu was alive, everyone despised her.

She impersonated a surviving member of a celestial clan to get close to Sang Mochen, intent on killing him.

Sang Mochen thought she simply didn't love him because she hadn't fallen for him, never realizing she had no heart.

One strike of the sword, and she was reduced to ashes. Her confession of love lingered only in the ethereal wind, unknown to all.

The man who promised her a lifetime of peace and happiness would one day kill her for the sake of all living beings and the Heavenly Dao.

Her fate was set: she would die by his hand.

Feng Lishu said: I turned my back on the righteous path and chose my own road. What can you do about it?

Sang Mochen said: The Sheng in Fusheng is written with the bamboo radical, a Sheng sheltered beneath it.

Lu Fusheng said: I thought you couldn't do it. I never imagined you'd planned everything out long ago.

The entanglement spanning lifetimes was nothing more than a scheme of fate.

As the play reached its end, one sank into the mortal realm, while the other remained far away beyond the clouds. All they could say was: Longing for you, a life reduced to ashes.

Spoiler-filled synopsis:

Feng Lishu was born a demon and never received a shred of kindness.

Meeting Sang Mochen and sparing his life was the greatest mistake she ever made.

After she died, her soul took up residence in a baby's body, and she became his disciple, Lu Fusheng.

She had already seen her own ending in the Yellow Springs.

But Sang Mochen refused to believe in fate.

I would give up my countless merits, all so you could ascend, live a smooth and happy life, and finally find protection.
