Story blurb:
Yun Jinyao, a cloud that fell into the mortal world, had nowhere to go. Someone took her in and carefully nurtured her. When she first took human form and opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Yun Lang.
The little immortal plant, newly come to consciousness, was innocent and bewildered, with the purest and most transparent heart in the world.
As Yun Lang spent day after day with her, he gradually fell in love. He would pluck the stars and moon for her and shield her from rumors and gossip.
And in the quiet of the night, he would gently and carefully kiss her forehead.
*
When the demon clans threw the cultivation world into chaos, Yun Lang led several sects to eradicate them. That day's events were a blur, but he remembered perfectly the sharp sword that pierced his chest.
Yun Jinyao had run him through with the very sword he had given her.
He could not tell whether his body or his heart hurt more.
So it had all been nothing but wishful thinking on his part.
Five hundred years later, they met again. At the Execution Platform, the once-beautiful Immortal Venerable had fallen to become a demon. His gentleness was gone.
Now, his eyes held nothing but obsession and intense hatred.
*
Everyone knew the Immortal Venerable had a weakness: the disciple he cherished in the palm of his hand.
But after a cruel betrayal and the theft of a thousand years of cultivation, he became a bloodthirsty monster who laid waste to all living things.
During the war between gods and demons, Demon Lord Yun Lang razed the entire immortal realm to the ground.
He looked at Yun Jinyao amid the ruins, came to her beneath the moon, and bent down to caress her face. His voice was almost a sigh.
"Yao Yao, I have never forgotten the sword you ran through me with all those years ago."

Reading guide:
1. The main story is told from the heroine's perspective. My take on cultivation, amateur writing, imperfect characters, a tale of love and hate, and dark-moonlight fiction. Very melodramatic and full of tropes.
2. All male characters are sexually inexperienced. The heroine will have explicit scenes with the second male lead, so please avoid this if that bothers you.
3. Discover who the second male lead is in the story. Pairings are one-on-one at each stage, not a multi-partner relationship.
