He Lanzhao's disciples never imagined that their master, a paragon of the righteous path, so noble and pure, would force a cat demon with shattered spiritual veins who practiced forbidden arts to become his wife.
On their wedding day, they showed up uninvited, intending to kill the demoness.
But their master died saving her.
As he lay dying, he cast the Butterfly Dream Gu on them.
The Gu turned them completely into her dogs.
They would live and die together, with her as their master.
If they displeased her, her desires would drag them into dreams.
They would cling to her frantically, craving her scent, her touch, and even something more intimate...

She was pleasure-seeking, spoiled, willful, and wicked. Of course they detested her. Why would they ever try to please her?
Yet after refusing to give her a spiritual weapon he had forged himself, he delivered a doll he had personally made that let them share sensations, begging her to play with him in the dream...
Though he had slapped away her hand when she reached for his bonded spirit pet, in the dream he wrapped his serpent tail around her, weeping and begging her to let his forked tongue explore deeper...
Though he had sternly told her not to disturb him while he practiced his swordsmanship, in the dream he kissed the hand holding her sword, all dewy-eyed, begging her to put it down and hold him instead...
No matter how superior they acted by day, in their dreams they wagged their tails and begged for her favor, doing everything they could to please her.
Fortunately, only they remembered the dreams.
or so they thought.

Jin Daimai has lost her memory. The three immortal lords before her say they are her senior brothers.
The eldest is as aloof as a flower on a mountaintop, always observing the rules and correcting her.
The second is a scheming, lovesick obsessive, kind-faced but cruel at heart, always trying to harm her.
The third is proud and sharp-tongued, loves his sword more than life, and is always mocking her.
Their cultivation is unfathomably profound, and they possess all kinds of heaven-sent opportunities.
As for her, she has little spiritual power and is plagued by baleful energy.
Jin Daimai detests these heaven's favorites.
But in her dreams, she discovers that there's something wrong with all of them.
The aloof eldest senior brother is a masochist afraid of being alone. He always asks her to punish him, then weeps and begs her to forgive him while keeping him locked up.
The hypocritical second senior brother is an exhibitionist and a shameless flirt. He keeps showing her his true form and real face, then acts vulnerable and begs for her affection.
The arrogant third senior brother is an anxious man desperate for praise. He constantly asks her to compliment him, worrying about his looks, figure, and cultivation, afraid he isn't good enough for her.
In dreams, she can also gain spiritual power through contact and suppress the baleful energy.
In reality, she can use what she learns in dreams to win their affection and absorb spiritual energy.
She starts boldly putting this to the test...
But she holds grudges, and sometimes she gets angry with all three of them at once...
So one day, all her senior brothers appear in the dream together.
Luckily, they don't remember.
But their gazes grow stranger and stranger, and the Gu spirit, whose appearance resembles her master, keeps crossing the line...
*
Her master, He Lanzhao, returns after losing his memory, yet still falls in love with her.
He expels those rebellious disciples from the sect and locks her to the bed. Just like in the dreams, he wants to control and possess her every moment, leaving her fed up.
In the dream, her senior brothers crowd around and trap her. Tears and kisses fall tenderly on her, yet they leave her no chance to escape.
"Junior sister, you want to get rid of Master too, don't you?"
"Your senior brother will help you."
The Gu spirit nibbles her ear. "I can help you get rid of them."
They tempt her in the dream, drawing her deeper and deeper in.
There's so much spiritual power she's about to overflow, and she can't take any more...
The mad dogs surround her and demand she choose one.
