[The wicked woman with a twisted sense of fun vs. the righteous god who holds himself to strict standards]
For some reason, Lian Cheng became an immortal monster.
Because her body could live forever and her appearance never aged, the demon clan coveted, hunted, imprisoned, and studied her. In the end, they cut out her undying heart and burned her body until not even ashes remained.
After Lian Cheng died, her resentment gathered and lingered. Somehow, her soul traveled back a hundred years...
Back to when she was fifteen, still the once-glorious princess of the Chong Kingdom. This time, she decided to strike first and kill every demon in the world.
But unlike in her memories, when she awoke this time, there seemed to be someone beside her... a new husband?
Lian Cheng tried in frustration to remember when she had ever married. Perhaps she had lived too long, because she couldn't remember who this gentle, steady husband was.
The man who claimed to be her new husband followed her around all day and never refused any of her requests.
"Bring me a basin of water to wash my feet."
"All right."
"I heard there's a rare flower in the immortal grove behind the mountain. Its dew can nourish the skin and preserve one's youthful looks. I want some." The mountain was full of danger, and the dew was difficult to obtain. She didn't believe he could manage it this time, either.
"All right."
In less than a day, the man brought it to her, without a scratch on him.
The man was endlessly accommodating and possessed extraordinary powers. Lian Cheng's gaze suddenly turned playful. She was looking for someone to help her kill demons, and this obedient man was just right for the job.
If she could turn him into a demon who killed without blinking, she could stop herself from suffering through the hundred years of torment that lay ahead.
A hundred years had long since chilled Lian Cheng's heart. All that remained was a cold shell and a cruel, callous nature.
She propped her chin up, her eyes curving like a pair of enticing knives. "Husband, this maid has overstepped her station. I hate her. Would you kill her for me?"
"Husband, a fish demon that's just transformed has come ashore thirty miles outside the city. Catch it for me and make me a bowl of fish soup to warm me up, all right?"
She pretended to sneeze, her eyes misty with tears as she looked at him, using the sweetest, most coaxing tone to say the cruelest things.
Though her "husband" was powerful, his kind nature was truly detestable.
If she wanted to make him completely obedient, she would have to guide him. He would surely become a fine blade for her demon-slaying in the future.
Whenever the man completed a task for her, she rewarded him like a puppy.
The first time, she gave him some soup left over from her own meal.
The second time, she rewarded him by letting him help her put on her shoes and socks.
The third time, she ordered him to kiss her on the cheek.
Then what should she reward him with the fourth time?

One day, a water serpent who had slept for a hundred years awoke from the abyss. Seeing his old friend stooping to such a humble role, he was so shocked his jaw dropped.
"You actually fell in love with a vicious, unruly woman from the mortal world?"
Miao Changqing stood tall, playing with an object the wicked woman had discarded. He indulged her as he replied:
"She wasn't like this before."
