Ji Yan Fan transmigrated into the body of the Holy Maiden of Chaoyin Sect. In a few years, she was supposed to be "willingly sacrificed," so she threw caution to the wind and secretly pledged herself to an outer disciple.
Her husband had neither power nor influence, and his cultivation was weak, but he devoted himself to her. They were deeply in love, and before long, she was pregnant.
As her belly grew day by day, Ji Yan Fan made up her mind: run!
But their secret came to light. Her husband took a sword through the chest protecting her, leaving no remains behind.
She fell off a cliff and woke after fainting, only to find the child was gone.
Despairing, Ji Yan Fan began plotting her revenge.
Then she heard that seven years later, the sinister, brutal Demon Venerable, who killed people as casually as swatting a fly, had massacred the entire Chaoyin Sect.
Ji Yan Fan clapped with delight and hurried to the scene.
The main hall was piled high with corpses. The Demon Venerable sat regally in the seat of honor, dressed in flamboyant red and wearing an annoyed expression. He looked like a young man of eighteen or nineteen.
Yet he held a little girl in one arm and tried to force a bloodstained sword into her hands, stiffly coaxing her in a gentle voice:
"Come on, my daughter. How can you cry at the sight of blood?"
"Killing people is easy. For instance, look at this person. Wouldn't they be easy to kill?"
Then the Demon Venerable looked up, turned toward Ji Yan Fan, and smiled.
Ji Yan Fan trembled, unable to move.
Not because she was afraid, but because...
How did this Demon Venerable have the same face as her husband?!
Good news: Her husband wasn't dead. (But he doesn't remember her.)
Good news: The child wasn't dead either. (But the Demon Venerable has put up a bounty of over a hundred million spirit stones to find the woman who gave him a child.)
Ji Yan Fan looked at the gates of the Demon Palace and swallowed.
Though her husband was no longer the husband she used to know, she still had to get their child back.

Yan Qibai was born with demonic bones. He fought his way out of the inferno to become the Demon Venerable, and lived proudly and freely, seldom meeting with setbacks.
Until ten years ago, when he was wounded and fell unconscious. He lost a fragment of his soul, which took three years to return to him, and suddenly he had a child, too.
And that wasn't all.
Recently, he had noticed a spy from the immortal sects.
Her disguise was full of holes, she acted recklessly, and she was always ordering him around. She even tried to teach his daughter nonsense about good deeds being rewarded.
Yet Yan Qibai merely twirled the demonic thorn in his hand a few times. In the end, he didn't kill her.
After all, there were plenty of spies who wanted to assassinate him, but she was the only lunatic who wanted to be his child's mother.
"Bonus scene"
The first Yan Qibai crossed his arms, the corners of his eyes drooping as he said in disbelief, "Huh? You say I was deeply in love with you? You must be completely insane."
The later Yan Qibai furiously burrowed into his wife's neck, gritting his teeth. "No way. Whatever you did back then, you have to do it all over again with me!"
#What? There's also a bounty of a hundred million spirit stones? Don't call it that. It's a betrothal gift!
