The Qingyun Sect, the foremost sect in the immortal world, sends its three most talented disciples down the mountain to undergo trials and choose a worthy successor.
Along the way, the three disciples save a beautiful woman named Ning Shihuan. Only after spending many days with her do they discover that she is a succubus.
Rumor has it that succubi have no hearts and feel no affection, surviving by bewitching others. Ning Shihuan is one of the most formidable among them, and she ensnares the three Qingyun disciples until they lose their senses.
Even knowing that Ning Shihuan is a trusted confidante of the Demon Lord and has sinister intentions, they still protect her at all costs, going so far as to defy every immortal sect.
The immortal sects: This woman is a calamity for the immortal world!
Later, Ning Shihuan dies beneath the Demon-Slaying Sword brought back by Lou Junyan, the eldest disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Every sect in the immortal world breathes a sigh of relief.
But just fifteen years after that sigh, Ning Shihuan returns, intent on becoming Dao partners with Lou Junyan, who has officially been named the Qingyun Sect's successor.
On their wedding day, the demon army attacks the Qingyun Sect, aiming to wipe out every immortal sect.
Faced with this scene, with a new love and an old flame, everyone wonders which side Ning Shihuan will help. To their surprise, she kills both sides, then claims the title of Demon Lord for herself.
After that, the three realms enjoy a hundred years of peace.
*
People have mixed opinions about Ning Shihuan, the new Demon Lord.
Those from the immortal sects think she killed her husband and her former master, and that she is ruthless, cruel, and utterly heartless. She truly inspires terror.
The demons, on the other hand, see her rise from a lowly succubus to Demon Lord as an example to us all. If only she were not so sentimental. Because of her lingering feelings for Lou Junyan, she still refuses to attack the immortal sects.
And so, debate over whether the new Demon Lord is sentimental rages across the three realms.
The subject of their discussion knows nothing about it. She is busy coaxing the man she just brought back to life.
“I heard that while I was gone these past few years, you often visited the Qingyun Sect's leader in his courtyard.”
“I only went to see him about important matters.”
“I also heard that the Demon Emperor often sneaks into your bedchamber at night.”
“That did happen, but he always had important matters to discuss with me. Besides, my bedchamber is huge, so we sit far apart when we talk.”
“Important matters, both times? Fine. What about the rumor that the Demon Lord, lonely in the middle of the night, invites handsome men to her palace for company? Was that important business too?”
“That wasn't.”
“You... Hmph!” Lou Junyan turned and swept away.
“Wait, I can explain that one...”
