Xie Shuangnian, once the foremost disciple of the immortal sects, was reborn. His sword bones were destroyed, his spiritual body shattered. He had planned to find some quiet place to grow flowers and pull weeds, then spend the rest of his life in peace. Instead, on the very first day of his rebirth, he was abducted by the Demon Venerable, Chong Ye.
Rumor had it that Chong Ye was cruel and sinister. He had risen to power through the Path of Slaughter, massacring the great sects of the cultivation world. Years later, righteous cultivators still spoke of him in hushed tones, too afraid even to say his name.
Xie Shuangnian looked up at the fiend before him, his heart calm as still water. "Chong Ye, good and evil cannot coexist. Now that I've fallen into your hands, do whatever you want with me."
Chong Ye stared at him with chilling eyes for a long time, then said coldly, "You won't get to die that easily." He fastened a shackle that sealed immortals around Xie Shuangnian's wrist, then left the demon palace without looking back.

Chong Ye was born in obscurity and raised in the abyss. No one knew that he had once followed Xie Shuangnian in the form of a soul for years, training tirelessly so that one day he could take physical form and touch the hem of that snowy-white robe.
But Xie Shuangnian devoted his entire life to the safety of the world, working until his dying breath. In the end, he was forced by the very people he had protected to prove his righteousness with his death, on the basis of baseless accusations.
Chong Ye watched him die with his own eyes, helpless to do anything. Overcome with grief, he fell into the Path of Slaughter, became a demon, and slew his enemies with his own hands.
But now, the white moonlight in his heart had finally returned. Facing the man before him, Chong Ye was so nervous he couldn't even get a complete sentence out.
What was he to do? Switch to an alternate account and flirt with him, of course.

Xie Shuangnian had died once, and it had taught him to let go of many things. Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Even the demon's lair would do.
That night, after Chong Ye had left with his threat, Xie Shuangnian bathed, leaned against the head of his bed, and quietly read a book. Suddenly, someone knocked on the bedroom door.
"Who is it?" Xie Shuangnian set down his book and asked calmly.
After a moment, the door opened. A raggedly dressed boy peered in, holding a dirty pillow. His gaze was so pure and shy, like a young deer new to the world. "Big Brother Immortal, my master threw me out. I have nowhere to go. Could you... kindly let me stay for one night?"
