Luan Wuyi was born into another world as a sealed great demon.
When she opened her eyes, three hundred years had passed since the story's ending.
The Heavenly Dao told her that a sliver of the soul of the world-destroying villain remained. If she wanted to go home, Luan Wuyi had to stop him from rising again.
"Will you redeem him, or change his heart?"
"I'll kill him."
On the night of the assassination, Luan Wuyi was captured.
She looked at the man before her: a pale, jade-like face, dark eyes and pale lips. He looked less like a human than a ghost.
A damp, sinister monster of a man.
To stay alive, Luan Wuyi made up a lie that would keep the villain from killing her.
"Husband, I'm your fiancée."
"I've returned to life in another body."

After Chaoyuan died, he learned that he was a villain in a novel, a mindless man who fell deeply in love with the heroine and eventually turned evil.
Controlled by the Heavenly Dao, he was destined to fall in love with someone who had nothing to do with him.
How ridiculous.
He would collect every last debt the Heavenly Dao owed him.
But then, out of nowhere, his fiancée, who had died young, returned in another body to find him, and shamelessly told him she "liked" him.
She was full of lies. He would never believe her.
After an unexpected mishap, the two of them were sent back three hundred years, and through a twist of fate, they became cultivation partners ahead of time.
To break the deadlock, the Heavenly Dao declared that the villain Chaoyuan had to attain the Dao and ascend.
And so the world-destroying demon lord, bent on bringing down heaven and earth, was forced by his own little fairy to recite the Core Socialist Values eight hundred times a day.
One day, Luan Wuyi took him by the hand and made a prayer to the heavens.
Chaoyuan scoffed. As if he would ever pray to the Heavenly Dao. Still, he asked, "What did you wish for?"
"Of course, I wished for my husband to attain the Dao and ascend one day, and for me to be beautiful, live a hundred years, and throw my weight around while I'm at it."
But he clearly heard her inner thoughts:
[I also hope that my sickly husband here beside me and I can live safe and sound for the rest of our lives.]
The young man lowered his eyes, a faint smile passing through them.
Later, Chaoyuan did not ascend and achieve enlightenment as he had hoped. Instead, he fell into demonic cultivation and became the first lord of the demon realm in ten thousand years.
It was said that the young demon lord spent every day before the memorial tablet of his mortal wife, learning to pray to the heavens just as she had taught him, over and over, begging for her soul to return to her body.
