Seven years after the snow fell on Kunlun, Nan Huaizhao betrayed her sect and turned to demonic cultivation. Her spiritual meridians were shattered, and she was hunted down.
At the moment she was on the brink of death, she fell into the Ghost Abyss and unexpectedly married the young demon lord sealed inside.
After getting married, the two had a terrible relationship. They bickered and fought all the time.
When their arguments occasionally got too heated and she coughed from anger, the ill-tempered youth would always lower his head and hold her down to treat her wounds.
Nan Huaizhao was willful and loved ordering people around. Even in the dark, sunless Ghost Abyss, she insisted that someone bring her a white plum blossom.
Then one day, the young demon lord disappeared. When he returned, he was covered in blood and tossed her a clean, freshly plucked white plum blossom.
He looked up, speaking in his usual nasty tone as he called her by name and told her to stop thinking about flowers and go to sleep.
Later, the young demon lord died.
Only much later did Nan Huaizhao learn that the people hunting her had set up a soul-destroying formation outside the Ghost Abyss that day. The youth had taken the fatal blow for her, enduring every attack until he was pierced by countless arrows and died in a pool of blood.
He said nothing as he died.
Later, Nan Huaizhao thought:
Perhaps she had liked him a little.
But that young demon lord was already dead.
There would never be another youth who treated her that way.

Three years later, Nan Huaizhao emerged from the Ghost Abyss, gathered her old friends, and resolved to storm her sect and take back everything.
On the way, she suddenly encountered a youth who looked just like someone she once knew.
White clothes, blue sleeves, and a vicious, ill-tempered nature. He held a sword in his hand, standing amid corpses and pools of blood, having casually slaughtered a whole area of demons and ghosts.
Later, while recruiting subordinates, she ran into this youth again. Nan Huaizhao spotted him in the crowd.
Her heart stirred ever so slightly. She reached out and pointed at him. "I want him."

Mu Zhenfeng, the young demon lord who had lived for only a dozen or so years, had loved only one person and hated only one person in his short life.
He loved her enough to be willing to die for her, and hated that she never looked at him.
He never expected that he would survive after all, live again in a new body, and meet Nan Huaizhao once more.
She didn't recognize him, but pointed at him and said, "I want him."
So he took on a new body, yet still couldn't resist seducing her.
Later, in the middle of the night, their breathing grew ragged as they kissed wildly, losing all sense of restraint. Yet by her ear, she heard him panting softly as he kissed her, his clear voice full of venom:
Nan Huaizhao.
Who is it you really love?
Feng: (hoarsely) How many people are there in your heart?
Zhao: It's you, it's you, it's you.
