A Funeral Pyre for the Second Male Lead Who Takes the Crown

Chu Shiyu was the revered beauty of the immortal sects, a peerless talent, cool as the moon. She was the only female disciple of Venerable Shangqing.

Chu Shiyu was cool and distant toward everyone, yet she treated Xie Ming, a newly admitted disciple, differently.

When Xie Ming was building his foundation, she gave him all the rarest treasures.

When Xie Ming fell to demonic cultivation, she used herself to guide him back.

When Xie Ming was branded a member of the demon race and sentenced to exile, she even broke with her sect to protect him.

Yet when Xie Ming ascended the throne as Demon King, he held a woman who looked seven-tenths like Chu Shiyu in his arms. He had long since planted a demonic parasite inside Chu Shiyu, and everything that had happened before was the parasite's doing.

Chu Shiyu was imprisoned in the Demon Palace. To please the woman he loved, Xie Ming shattered her golden core, crippled her cultivation, and humiliated her at will.

He even forced her to bear a child of gods and demons to fight against her sect.

Chu Shiyu died when the child was born. Her soul was devoured completely by the baby in her womb.

As she perished, she saw daylight pierce the sky. A handsome, elegant figure descended from above and held her protectively in his arms, his touch tender and full of sorrow.

It was her master, Venerable Shangqing.

She heard the hoarse, remorseful voice of her master. "I'm sorry. I came too late."

That day, Venerable Shangqing fell to demonic cultivation and slaughtered the demon royal palace, burying it with Chu Shiyu.

Chu Shiyu's soul was still dazed when she was reborn a hundred years earlier, back to the day her master took in disciples. The weak and wretched Xie Ming stood among the many disciples, looking at her with innocent admiration.

This time, Chu Shiyu didn't spare him a glance. She nudged the immortal beside her with her elbow and said lazily, "Master, come help me pick one."

The original male and female leads are both reborn.

The second male lead takes the lead.
