Su Xingzheng had lived next door to Duan Chi'an for decades. She knew him well.
A prodigy of an exorcist family and its sole heir.
He was quiet, taciturn, and stiffly conventional. He killed demons whenever they appeared and slew monsters whenever he encountered them, making the eradication of evil his life's creed. He was terribly boring.
The only interesting thing happened one day, when she pretended to be napping and sensed him lift the strand of her hair that had fallen over the edge of the desk and press a gentle kiss to it.
Su Xingzheng: Oh?
If he found out he had kissed the hair of a heart demon, would he be so disgusted that he'd want to cut out his own tongue?
*
Her family was struck by disaster. Her loved ones were slaughtered, leaving Su Xingzheng all alone.
She wanted revenge. With a single kiss, she lured that prodigy into her trap.
Her enemy was right before her. She revealed her demonic form and, with a single horizontal stroke of her sword, cut off their head. Then, without hesitation, she plunged her sword through Duan Chi'an's chest.
As she watched him fall, bewildered and stunned, Su Xingzheng slowly pulled the sword from his chest. “Immortals and demons walk different paths. I don't want to die, so you have to be the one who dies.”

After taking her revenge, she got her wish and traveled back to the past.
Her family was by her side, and Duan Chi'an still lived just on the other side of the wall. But this time, the door that had once been open to her stayed firmly shut.
Her enemies attacked in the dead of night. Her heart demon overflowed and her demonic form emerged, drawing the forces of both immortals and demons to surround her. She was prepared to fight to the death, but then the tightly shut door opened. The prodigy of the exorcist family, dressed in white and holding a long sword, stood in front of her.
*
Su Xingzheng was a demon. Duan Chi'an had always known.
Watching her swagger around brazenly in front of him, he wanted to see just how daring she could be.
Su Xingzheng did not disappoint.
A demon boldly kissed him on the lips.
He thought, Her lips are so soft...
I wonder if her tongue feels the same...
