Two Children Catching Demons

An earthquake threw the world into chaos.

At the time, Li Zhen was trapped in the Misty Forest and had no idea disaster had struck.

Before she was tricked into entering, no one told Li Zhen that the forest was home to a nemesis who wanted nothing more than to eat her: Su Xing.

Su Xing’s parents and Li Zhen’s father had vanished together, with no bodies found, dead or alive. Young Su Xing blamed the entire Li family for it.

The boy bared his teeth like a mad dog ready to bite at any moment. “You little brat from the Li family! Give me back my parents!”

Su Xing hated every member of the Li family and should have left Li Zhen behind in that forest.

But in the end, the child tugged at his clothes, and the two of them walked out together.

When the Five Ghosts emerge, demons dance.

The flowers blooming by the roadside weren’t the only things there. Monsters that devoured human flesh lurked among them.

Su Xing saved Li Zhen many times, and Li Zhen pulled him out of danger again and again.

The two half-grown children supported one another, surviving together in a world gone mad.

A little scene: Li Zhen had been pampered since birth, while Su Xing, who had grown up making his own way through life, hated spoiled young masters like him.

He insisted on gold-rimmed bowls and plates for his meals, spring water untouched by a speck of dust to drink, and, most outrageous of all, a silk comforter to sleep under!

Young Su Xing shouted, “Where am I supposed to find you a silk comforter? Sleep without one if you want!”

A few years later...

“Wait, the head of the Li family is a woman? What, you want a silk comforter? I’ll get one right away. What else do you need?”

In the midst of the chaos, Su Xing spoiled Li Zhen like a little sister, figuring that once the world was at peace, he would find her a suitable husband. But no matter how many men he found, Su Xing was never satisfied.

This one was ugly, that one had a terrible temper... And him? He was even worse. A strong gust of wind would blow him away.

Li Zhen: “Then who do you think is good enough?”

Su Xing muttered something. Through the wind, two words could be heard faintly.

I am.
