The Silver Soul Calamity

[Dual female leads, both take turns pursuing and being pursued / Past and present lives / Angsty romance / Eastern fantasy]

When Ling Yue, a half-demon sealed away for five hundred years by the Spirit-Soul Pearl, opens her eyes, her throat is pressed against the tip of a Demon Suppression Bureau celestial master's sword.

The silver-haired, red-eyed demon bares her fangs. "Do you want to dig out my demon core too?"

The Heartbinding Pact on Shen Qingqiu's wrist shines bright. A bloodstained compass reveals the entwined destinies of the two women. "No. I'm here to give you back a whole heart."

Later, the two share a jug of realgar wine beneath the moon:

Ling Yue crushes a pursuer's skull and lifts the little nun's chin with her black iron claw. "Isn't the Demon Suppression Bureau supposed to hate half-demons most of all?"

Shen Qingqiu swallows the sweetness of blood in her throat and presses a newly acquired fragment of the Spirit-Soul Pearl against Ling Yue's chest. "That's right, so I have to keep a menace like you... locked by my side for a thousand, ten thousand years."

A fox tail that cannot be severed before the Qingqiu tombs, a demon god howling beneath the Demon Suppression Bureau.

When Shen Qingqiu's black hair turns white, Ling Yue finally understands the devotion hidden in their blood pact for five hundred years:

"Trading my soul's destruction for the restoration of your demon spirit. The Shen family has been paying for this bargain for five hundred years."
