He Song transmigrated and became a pitiful girl who had just been kicked out of her sect.
Kneeling in the rain at night, she looked at the man smiling gently at her as he softly said, "Come with me," and remembered the plot of the book.
In the original story, because she bore some resemblance to the Demon Lord Yu Qiuhuai's long-lost beloved, he took her away and kept her like a caged songbird.
To survive, she did everything she could to please the Demon Lord, day and night, and eventually fell in love with him.
Yu Qiuhuai indulged her in everything and knew how she felt, yet when his beloved returned after years away, he cast her aside like trash.
Only then did she realize she was nothing but a substitute. No one in the demon realm took her seriously; everyone secretly laughed at her behind her back.
The original owner had lost all hope. On the night Yu Qiuhuai married his beloved, she severed her meridians and threw herself into the river.
Knowing how her story ended, He Song sneered. But when she noticed Yu Qiuhuai's eyes gradually growing cold, she suddenly clasped his icy hand and asked in a trembling voice, "May I?"
She followed Yu Qiuhuai back and became his caged songbird.
She learned spells and got her hands on magical treasures. When his beloved returned as expected, she put on a heartbroken face and teary eyes in public, but secretly counted up all her possessions. On the wedding night, she jumped into the river just as she had in the original story.
And what about Yu Qiuhuai?
As he studied the face of his beloved, which resembled He Song's by seventy percent, he thought: Isn't she just a little bird?
If she's gone, she's gone.
He never imagined that every day of his future life would be filled with regret over not stopping He Song that day.
Many years later, at the Immortal Sects' Grand Gathering, Yu Qiuhuai looked at the number-one female sect leader in the immortal realm, surrounded by handsome men as everyone toasted her.
The more he looked, the more she resembled the little bird who had escaped his control all those years ago.
