I don't like ephemeral flowers, because they are short-lived and will not last long.
But I like the Epiphyllum, because it always blooms for me to see.
——Shu Tan
Atan, your hearts are so abominable, can I believe you?
——Epiphyllum Demon (Tantaiyan)
The demons and gods in this life are not all things, but they are defeated by people's hearts.
Epiphyllum Demon, stop struggling. Humans and monsters have different paths. You and I are not on the same path, so just let it go.
Tan Taiyan, I was wrong about those nine soul-breaking needles, and I owe you the thousands of spiritual whips.
Shutan, don't lie to me, I'm scared.
Shu Tan, you owe too much, why don't you die?
Tan Taiyan said, "Don't you really hate Zhe Ming? He is the one who wants your life." Shu Tan really wanted to kill Zhe Ming. She lived like a puppet for the rest of her life, controlled by Tan Taiyan.
Elder Shangqing said that Shu Tan was destined to be like this, and there was no way to go against it, but Shu Tan just didn't believe in this evil. She wanted to live as peacefully as a normal person, and she didn't expect anything else. But in the end... She became the devil who destroyed the world's peace.
After her death, she left only a few words: "The person I am most sorry for in this life is Atan."
I just remember that the Epiphyllum Demon, who was so arrogant, went to replace Shu Tan's soul.
He knelt on each step of the three thousand steps, three thousand times, every step of the way, until his knees were covered with blood. When it was shocking, he even pulled out his three-stone flower and gave it to Fairy Shui Huan, begging her to exchange Shu Tan's soul for her.
What is the three-stone flower?
The three-stone flower is the most important part of the Epiphyllum Demon, just like the human heart. Fairy Shui Huan was not touched when she saw Tan Taiyan pull out the three-stone flower. Would anyone really go against fate and endure the pain of being possessed by ten thousand thunders for the one they love?
It seems possible.
Because that is Tan Taiyan, the most beautiful demon.
He remembered that when Shu Tan was young, she said he was good-looking and said she wanted to marry him. It was really ridiculous now - she should have given up on her when she wanted to kill him and told him that the demon had a different path.
Wait for me, wait until I finish defying fate and come and marry you.
