Pre-order: After My Down-and-Out Nemesis Tricks Me into Saving Him

The light of the demonic path x the darkness of the righteous path

-

I saved him so I could kill him.

When a character in a story dies, they die. It's no big deal.

When they meet again, Rong Wan looks down at Su Zhou, lying in a pool of blood and struggling to breathe.

The prophesied ruler of the three realms, a murderous villain who stops at nothing. Now he's just a mortal without a trace of spiritual power. What could he possibly do?

Later...

The innocent are condemned to die, while the guilty sit high upon the spirit altar.

The young emperor, whose integrity is just beginning to take shape, wades through a sea of blood. His friends and loved ones struggle to make their way forward.

Rong Wan's heart softens, and she has a thought she shouldn't have: she wants him to live, and she wants them all to live.

She sets up a formation to change their fate, using him as bait.

At the time, Su Zhou only needs to lose once. After that, he'll be safe and sound, secure in his position of power.

Who would have thought he wouldn't yield an inch, pressing her at every turn? "Why did you choose me to lose?"

Later, on that day,

Amid the vast immortal mist, Su Zhou takes her hand and guides her to raise her sword, intent on dying.

"Kill me, and you can go home."

The blood burning in her palm makes her soul roar. Rong Wan suddenly remembers...

When they reunited after a long separation, Su Zhou heard her murmur "gege" in her drunken sleep. As if possessed, he kissed her lips, then pulled away at once.

When he kissed her again, he once told her that he loved her.

-

"Isn't this the ending you were waiting for?"

Su Zhou asks.

[The light of the demonic path x the darkness of the righteous path]

In her youth, Chi Wu was proud and unruly, the young mistress of the Demon Realm feared by all immortals. With her powerful Divine-Slaying Bow, she ran rampant across the three realms. Once, she shot a cold-faced young immortal who tried to stop her, then kicked him into the Nether Ravine.

That young immortal was Yan Su, who later became the peerless, elegant Supreme Immortal. Later still, he became the fugitive immortal ranked highest on the Immortal-Slaying List, with the biggest bounty on his head.

Three hundred years later, the guilty demon and the guilty immortal meet again after a long separation in prison.

A gold-inlaid straight sword rests against Chi Wu's neck as Yan Su makes her a deal.

"Chi Wu, I'll set you free. You help me become a god."

-

Back then, Yan Su was on the verge of becoming a god. Now, as a condemned immortal, his soul is damaged and his spirit shattered. His temperament has changed completely: he's obsessive, terrifying, jealous, and sensitive. Only the occasional flash of gentleness and courtesy offers a glimpse of his former immortal grace.

From then on, Chi Wu puts on an act and bites her tongue, accompanying him as he experiences the seven emotions and tastes the eight sufferings.

Later...

Yan Su confesses everything. "Chi Wu, do you still think this is just a deal?"

Chi Wu's gaze darkens as she crushes his divine essence between her fingertips. "If you deceived me, then you deceived me."

Yan Su laughs instead of getting angry. In his eyes, dark as night, the crimson fires of the Other Shore are reflected. There's no coldness in them, only love.

Later that day, Chi Wu survives an assassination attempt in the Immortal Capital.

Her green robe is soaked red, and in her pale left hand is the divine essence that should have been shattered...

#Before I can survive, I won't accept Yan Su's love#

The immortals often say that the former Supreme Immortal was elegant and refined, at one with the world, yet he scattered his own immortal essence to gather the soul and spirit of a demon woman.

That day, before the Sea of Despair, with his soul damaged and spirit shattered, he broke through the seal.

In the thick sea mist, a thousand years of love found its name in redemption and glimpsed the light of day.

Yan Su suppresses the redness in his eyes. His gaze holds an obsessive love that nearly overflows, and his voice is indistinct and cold.

He tempts her with salvation, while secretly plotting his own.
