The Buzhou Seal was stolen, and countless demons escaped from the Samsara Mirror. Monsters and evil spirits ran rampant across the land, and all living beings suffered.
A demon envoy raised the resentment of a hundred thousand women and used a Lianli Branch as a medium to cultivate a "Love-Sick Fruit." The evil fruit took human form and used forbidden magic to bind itself to a god undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm. It arranged a marriage between them across three lifetimes, intending to sever his divine essence and help the Demon God escape the Samsara Mirror.
Yue Wuji, the newly appointed Red Matchmaker Immortal, broke the heavenly laws and was forced to accept a mission: save the god and sabotage the red thread of fate.
Complete the mission, and she could return to the immortal realm. Fail, and she would be stuck in the human realm, matchmaking and tying red threads.
The mission itself wasn't difficult. She just had to steal the man from that "Love-Sick Fruit." For three lifetimes, no less.
But the god undergoing tribulation in the human realm was gloomy and stubborn, known as the Little King of Hell. He was incredibly hard to win over.
The Red Matchmaker Immortal crunched on sugarcane and secretly cheered herself on. "No wall corner is impossible to dig out. The only bad mistress is one who doesn't try. If anyone can snap the red thread and turn the world upside down, it's me."
Yue Wuji never expected her mission to become her death sentence.
Forced to fall from immortality, she was playing in the water with a group of handsome men in the Nine Nether Pool of the demon realm when the "god" appeared at her door, covered in blood. His eyes were full of tightly repressed emotion. "You've stolen me twice. One more lifetime, and you'll succeed. This time, I'll let you have your way. I'll marry you."
The Red Matchmaker Immortal laughed until the corners of her eyes reddened. Trailing her damp, gauzy robes, she wiped her hand over the handsome young man's and sauntered up to him. Gently stroking his jaw, she said, "What makes you think you're so special? Get lost."
In the end, the god reclaimed his position, turned the tide, quelled the demon threat, and ended the war across the Three Realms and Four Seas. But he alone could not save the one he loved.
In a shadowy underground room, shark-oil lamps flickered. Ancient talismans flashed and faded, and a demon-binding chain as thick as a child's arm clasped the new Demon God.
Yue Wuji looked up, her neck covered in suggestive bite marks. She rattled the demon-binding chain on her wrist and stared at the god before her with a faint smile. "How long are you planning to keep me imprisoned?"
The world is bewildered, all praying to the gods. But to whom can a god turn with his unfulfilled longing?
