Mu Shuanghe had a secret. During an adventure in the mortal world, she had pledged herself to a refined, gentle cultivator, as bright and pure as the moon.
They agreed to become cultivation partners after leaving seclusion.
But he broke his promise. Mu Shuanghe waited and waited, but the one she loved never came. Instead, she learned that her sect had been slaughtered.
Reborn, Mu Shuanghe resolved to change the tragic outcome.
Yet the day her sect was destroyed arrived right on schedule. In her moment of despair, she watched the one she loved raise his sword and thrust it toward her.
"Half-demon, half-human. You have no place in this world."
"You must die."
Facing Mu Shuanghe's disbelieving gaze, Bai Xuanjian answered without hesitation, though his sword veered slightly to the side.
He didn't understand why he'd held back. They were supposed to be strangers.
Years later, Mu Shuanghe, now a Demon Lord, walked across a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, sword in hand.
Bai Xuanjian lay prostrate on the ground. His bloodstained hand tugged at Mu Shuanghe's skirt as he pleaded with her humbly: "Please, spare my master and the others."
Mu Shuanghe tilted her head, a smile in her eyes.
"Have you forgotten? I begged you like this once, too."
