Shan Taohua had a happy home. Every morning, her mother got up early to comb her hair. Her father brought her sweet dates after coming home from the fields. Her older brother said he would work hard to pass the civil service exams so she could become a young lady one day.
Even the family's calico cat and big yellow dog doted on her most, bringing her their secret stash of mice, butterflies, and bones as special treats.
That home was destroyed when Shan Taohua was sixteen.
That day, demons attacked. Covered in bloody wounds and protected by the villagers, Shan Taohua rang the Dust and Fate Bell, begging the enshrined Immortal Jun Changbai for help.
Amid the bell's tolling, she heard a voice from the distant immortal realm.
Immortal music rang like pearls and jade, accompanied by clear, lilting Sanskrit chants. Then came a haughty, detached reprimand: "Where did this noisy Dust and Fate Bell come from? It's disturbed the Goddess's afternoon nap. Immortal Jun is busy coaxing her right now, so stop ringing it!"
Shan Taohua bowed deeply to the ground. "Demons have attacked Tianjia Village. We beg Immortal Jun Changbai to protect us!"
The voice suddenly turned holy and ethereal. "Very well, the Immortal has been informed. Wait a moment."
That wait was a long one.
Even after the demons crushed his limbs and disemboweled him, the village chief still believed the Immortal would come.
But Shan Taohua knew he wouldn't.
Because the love of the immortals was more precious than mortal lives.
Crows pecked at Shan Taohua's eyes.
Though she was already dead, she could still see her parents' charred, twisted bodies, her brother's scattered crimson entrails, and the bones of the little cat and big yellow dog simmering in a pot...
That night, boundless bloodlust spread across Zhongxi Mountain. No immortal came, but the demons who had attacked Tianjia Village were completely annihilated.
Because a demon had been born here.
Shan Taohua, the demon destined to slay the gods and destroy the immortals.
The immortals enjoyed offerings of incense and boundless magical power, saving others and themselves.
But for their own selfish desires, they disregarded all living beings.
If these were the immortals, then Shan Taohua would kill one if there was one, and two if there were two.
