I'm the second-in-command of a mountain, living freely with a bunch of little demons. Every day, I either go fight with the little demons on the neighboring mountain or catch a few pheasants for fun and take them along to look for immortal herbs. Then one day, the little demons on my mountain tell me they've found an injured mortal.
Ugh! How many people have we saved already?
Have they forgotten that they're demons, not immortals?
Fine, fine. Save her, then.
I asked her name, but all she gave me was the character for "white". She wouldn't say anything else. That was fine too. I called her Auntie Bai. Then I wrote the character for "green" and begged her to give me a name as well.
Auntie Bai's eyes lowered at once, and a little warmth softened her usually cool expression. After thinking for a long time, she said, "I'll call you Qingli."
I asked her, confused, "Li, as in parting?"
She smiled and looked me in the eye. "Li, as in colored glaze."
Later, Auntie Bai ran away, and she didn't recognize me. It wasn't until someone called her Bai Suzhen that I learned her real name.
And she wasn't human. She was a great demon! A demon even more powerful than me!
In short, it's a story about two great demon sisters.
(The author is terrible at writing blurbs, so this might be changed later.)
