Collarbone Diary

The brightest star of the Celestial Masters' Mansion fell into a demon's cage.

That day, the red lotus flames of karma consumed three thousand talismans on Mount Cangwu. At the bottom of the Demon-Suppressing Well, Lin Qingwu found a silver-haired demoness, pierced through the shoulder blades by nine black iron chains.

The instant the Seven-Star Demon-Binding Cords wound around her pale wrists, five hundred years of sealing sigils transformed into entwined lotus marks, binding the fate of the cool, austere Daoist nun and the violent half-demon into an inescapable knot.

"A life-sharing contract? The methods of your righteous sects grow more despicable by the day."

Yin Yue licked the blood from her fingertip, her crimson eyes reflecting the pulse throbbing in the young Daoist's neck.

Fragments of the Spirit Jade burned in their hearts. With every breath, the rampaging demon core and her out-of-control Daoist arts tore at each other.

Lin Qingwu clenched her burning palm.

She should use the Three Purities Bell to subdue the demoness, not let her rest her chin in the hollow of her shoulder. She should use her cinnabar brush to draw a demon-slaying formation, not touch the demon markings on the other's collarbone, which brightened and dimmed with her desire.

But when Yin Yue revealed wolf ears beneath the full moon and rubbed her fangs against the golden cord around Lin Qingwu's wrist, whispering, "If the little Daoist cries, I imagine she'll be hotter than the Samadhi True Fire," all the strict precepts she had memorized since childhood suddenly became blades tempered in flame.

Beneath the skirts entwined by their twin curse marks lay the truth behind the theft of an ancient treasure.

And more dangerous than the Spirit Jade was the flame of karma that burned through her Violet Palace and sea of consciousness when Yin Yue hooked a finger around the sash at her waist.

(A stern heir to the Daoist sect x a mad wolf demon demigoddess. Two female leads who bring out the best and worst in each other, while uncovering a past-life pact to burn the heavens with red lotus flames on their journey to subdue ancient demons.)
