As a little fairy with weak magic and low status, Mingzhi was never of much use. So one day, she was entrusted with an important mission:
An immortal ordered her to disguise herself as a demon, infiltrate the Demon Realm, and get inside the enemy’s ranks.
She had heard that demons lived like beasts and killed immortals without blinking, so Mingzhi was terrified.
On the day she arrived, she got lost in the churning demonic energy and rescued a boy who had lost his way there too.
The boy was bright and spirited, with an innocent-looking face. So the Demon Realm wasn’t full of nothing but hideous, blue-faced monsters after all.
But in the next moment, he tore a demon beast apart with his bare hands, then smiled brightly and thanked her. “Have some.”
Mingzhi: “…”
No, thanks. Really.
And so she arrived in the Demon Capital under the alias Shuangshuang and began her perilous life as an undercover agent.
Mingzhi’s greatest daily crisis was being tormented in new and inventive ways by the city’s most unruly demon lord.
He gave her terrifying monsters as pets, offered her bloody severed limbs to eat, and interrogated her about her immortal soul over and over again.
Chiyang: “Shuangshuang, I just pulled out this demon beast’s heart and liver! They’re still nice and warm.”
Mingzhi: Ugh, what a bloody mess.
Chiyang: “Aren’t you weak? For demons, eating this raw is the most effective. Eat it while it’s hot.”
Mingzhi: “…”
N-no! Please!
Chiyang: “Shuangshuang, Shuangshuang, look at this fan. Do you like it?”
She was just about to say, “I li…”
Chiyang: “It’s made from the tail feathers of an auspicious creature from the Immortal Realm. Where do you want to hang it?”
Mingzhi: Birds! B-birds!
For a while, Mingzhi hoped the immortal would come and rescue her from this living hell.
Until the day of the battle between immortals and demons, when the Nine Heavens gave her no answer at all. She was left alone in this desolate land, surrounded by enemies on every side.
At the very moment heavenly punishment was about to fall, someone stepped in front of her.
For the first time, Mingzhi saw the demon lord as he truly was.
He braced himself against the lightning and glared coldly at the gods above. “She’s under my protection.”
“If you immortals don’t want her, I do.”

Eyes Open, a Hundred Years Later
Si Qing was a mighty cultivator and a once-in-a-millennium genius among the immortal sects. She became an elder at a very young age.
Gifted as she was, she often took unconventional stances, refusing to follow the crowd, and gradually made countless enemies.
One dark and stormy night, a group of powerful cultivators conspired to surround and kill her in secret. They told the world she had gone mad in cultivation and died in an accident.
When she opened her eyes again, she discovered that a hundred years had passed, and she had been reborn into an ordinary farming family.
The experience left her disheartened. She resolved to become a selfish, wicked person who would never care what happened to anyone else.
So she joined a fearsome evil sect and vowed to wreak havoc one day.
What she didn’t know was that, in the years since her death…
The young lord she had once defeated had turned against his family and defied his own principles, all to find a way to bring her back to life.
Her aloof senior brother investigated the true cause of her death, turned his sword against his elders and fellow disciples, and fell to demonic cultivation, consumed by murderous energy.
Her nemesis, who had argued with her from the moment they met, became a half-human, half-demon monster to fulfill her long-held wish.
And one other person was slaughtering the powerful cultivators who had been there that day, showing no mercy. Alone, he plunged the entire cultivation world into bloody chaos.
Si Qing knew nothing of the reasons behind it all. She only wondered how her old friends had each gone mad in their own special way after a century apart.
She lamented how turbulent the world had become and couldn’t help worrying about her still-fragile little disciple. He was obedient and sweet, quiet but considerate, and blushed whenever she teased him. He was so easy to bully.
She had died so suddenly, and shortly before her death, she had kissed him while drunk…
Without his master, how could he survive in this chaotic world?
Si Qing: I really shouldn’t have died so young.
Just then, the disciples of the sect bowed in greeting. “Greetings, Sect Leader.”
Si Qing looked up and saw a handsome face, dangerous and sinister, and not at all fragile.
“…”
She thought: Good thing I died.

Theme: The darker the place, the closer you are to the light.
There is something wrong with this mortal world. If this continues, people will become more and more lazy, and gradually they will no longer be able to farm or work. Finally, if the gods do not respond, they will hate the gods, but they will not be able to work by themselves. Sooner or later, they will have to do it.
The old man is really an all-rounder, and the old lady is also very gentle and tolerant. I really like this old couple, they make me feel very friendly. In this world where there is generally blind and fanatical worship of gods, they seem so stubborn and out of place. The world drifts with the tide. They may seem ordinary, but they always stay awake in the wave. This persistence is something that few people can achieve. They may not leave their names in the annals of history, but the brilliance of human nature will always leave ripples in the hearts of those who know them. I have always admired these stubborn ordinary people. They were like a spark of fire shining so brightly in the dark night, which made me burst into tears.
So Naruzhi belongs to the category of slow work and careful work.
When the Northern and Southern Divine Guards withdrew, were the teahouses in the mountains repaired?
Everyone is drunk and I am alone awake.
Teacher Fan, take your time, don't be in a hurry, you still need to rest more!
Are you going to be tortured? I'm so excited, so excited [bad smile] [love eyes] (I'm not a masochist [red heart])
Should "the moving muscles and bones of an immortal and a half-god" be "earth"?
Is "the barrier has just taken shape" the same as "the barrier has just taken shape"?
Is "I only like her because she is a fairy" mean "I only like her because she is a fairy"?
Should "walking the leading female fairy around in circles" should be "walking around in circles"?
Should "the aura around the body suddenly become cold and cold" be "cold"?
Should "half an arm be scarlet and mottled" be "scarlet"?
Should "this face" be "this face"?
Should "she had a faint feeling that she was used to it as a commonplace" should be "of"?
Tell me, when will the next chapter be updated (can't wait to try it)
What are you talking about, Mr. Fan, who is having a big holiday? [Crying]
