Ying Su defies her master’s wishes, abandoning all concern for her position as the next Supreme Deity of the Nine Ministers Palace, just to marry Fu Zhixiao of the demon clan. Only after their wedding does she learn that it was all a deception: she was merely a stepping stone in Fu Zhixiao’s revenge and his quest to unite the Six Realms.
A thousand years of knowing and standing by each other could not win from him a single admission that he had ever loved her.
“Fu Zhixiao, if one day everything you’ve done brings its retribution down upon me, will you regret it?”
“If cause and effect bring retribution, you won’t be the one to receive it,” the Demon Lord Fu Zhixiao replied.
Yet when that day finally came, Fu Zhixiao, now a Demon God, could only hold his wife’s corpse in anguish. The feelings that came too late made his love hurt to the very marrow of his bones...
Theme: Between love and the Daoist heart, one will ultimately choose to let the other go.
