(Opening at 100 follows)
(Strong, gentle heroine x gloomy, possessive, lovesick snake demon male lead)
Chu Chixi was born with a celestial core and was a cultivation prodigy. Though she was a princess of the immortal realm, she treated others with kindness and generosity.
She married the God of War, whom she had secretly loved for years, as she had wished. But only after the wedding did she learn that her husband loved someone else. He had married her only because he did not dare defy the Immortal Emperor's decree, and treated her with utter coldness.
Throughout their ten years of marriage, Chu Chixi never managed to warm her husband's heart. On the day the demons attacked the city, he shielded his beloved in his arms and let Chu Chixi fall into the demon abyss, where she died without a whole body.
Reborn, Chu Chixi returned to her wedding night. Her husband was sleeping in a separate room. Heartbroken, she left him a divorce agreement and faked her death, setting him free.
Then, one night in the mortal world, Chu Chixi found an injured young man. It was Mo Zhanxing, her former husband's younger brother.
Mo Zhanxing's handsome face was streaked with tears, and he clung to her, pleading over and over, "Sister-in-law, I finally found you. Don't leave me behind!"
Chu Chixi couldn't bear to turn him away, so she kept him by her side and cared for him as she always had, like a younger brother.
What she didn't know was that whenever she fell asleep, a cold, slick snake tail would coil around her. Beside the bed, Mo Zhanxing gazed at her sleeping face with burning eyes, his expression both restrained and mad with yearning.
Mo Zhanxing was born with a demonic womb and was an illegitimate child, unwanted by everyone. Taciturn and reserved, he knew only one person who treated him gently: Princess Chu Chixi, the sole light in his dark life.
But in the end, Chu Chixi died because of his elder brother.
For her sake, Mo Zhanxing fell to demonic cultivation and became a demon lord who brought calamity upon all living beings. He killed every one of her enemies!
Until one year, he found Chu Chixi, still alive, in the mortal world. He concealed his identity and devoted himself to staying by her side.
Unexpectedly, his elder brother appeared, having changed his mind and wanting to take Chu Chixi back to be his wife again.
At last, Mo Zhanxing lost control. He locked Chu Chixi in a secret chamber and bit hard into her snowy shoulder. His snake tail slid beneath her skirt, his eyes bloodshot. "Didn't you promise you wouldn't leave me behind?
"If you dare go with him, tomorrow I'll raise an army and trample the immortal realm!"
