By a twist of fate, Fu Jing, who was supposed to become the Heavenly Consort, was forced to marry the Demon Venerable, an enemy of her clan for generations.
Fu Jing planned to run away from the wedding. Nervously, she climbed into the bridal sedan, only to find that the person who arrived was not the Emperor of Heaven's son, who had promised to save her.
Instead, it was the one coming to claim his bride, the Demon Clan's crown prince, renowned as a God of War.
At their first meeting, the handsome man looked like a divine being. He coldly watched her hysterics, the corner of his mouth seeming to curl in mockery, then ruthlessly cut off her escape route.
Fu Jing's eyes reddened with anger. She gazed steadily into his golden double pupils and smiled. "Call me Mother and let me hear it."
The divine-looking man's gaze was terrifyingly cold. Fu Jing seemed to find it amusing and renewed her hopes. All the way home, she kept calling herself his mother and led him around in circles.
Every so often, she staged another round of "she runs, he chases, and she can't escape even if she grows wings."
She'd had enough fun and gone quite mad. It was time to accept her fate. She'd come out ahead as long as she outlived the old man.
But she never expected the old man to drop dead at the wedding ceremony, with the culprit being none other than her stepson, who had seemed perfectly normal!
There was no time to fully grasp just how terrifying her stepson was. Fu Jing hurriedly prepared to make her escape, weighed down by the several pounds of floral headdress on her head. Just as she reached to lift the red silk veil above her, he caught her hand.
He leaned close and said, enunciating every word: "Father () son inherits."
