A powerful couple, reunited after a long separation, in a xianxia tale of redemption. Li Qing, heir to the throne of the Demon Realm, was born bearing the destiny of ruling it.
Her birth mother died young, and her father, the emperor, did everything in his power to protect her, keeping her identity hidden from the Three Realms. No one knew the Demon Realm had a princess.
Weary of the cold inner palace and its power struggles, she resolutely fled the demon palace, concealed her identity, and wandered among the immortal, divine, and mortal realms, even lingering in the demon realm, seeking nothing but a life of freedom without restraint.
Nan Jingji was lonely from childhood. His parents died early, and the grandfather who had been his only family was killed through a snake demon's treachery. From then on, he was alone in the world.
He joined a sect, devoted himself to mastering peerless arts, and became a renowned, aloof demon hunter. He spent his life fixated on revenge and half his years in lonely isolation.
He never forgot that, during those bleak years of youth, a gentle little girl would quietly bring him sweet pastries, warming his desolate days. Only later did he learn that she was called Li Qing, the next ruler of the Demon Realm. Then she suddenly vanished without a trace, and he searched for her year after year.
Immortals and demons walk different paths; righteousness and evil stand opposed.
When they reunited, she was a demon princess who had fled into hiding, and he was a top demon hunter of the righteous path.
They recognized each other, but neither admitted it, while their unspoken feelings spanned mountains and rivers.
A long-awaited reunion after years apart, and a tender bond buried deep in their youth.
With a lifetime of cool detachment, he helped her break free from the chains of destiny;
With all the tenderness in her heart, she healed his years of hardship and loneliness.
Gods and demons, righteousness and evil, none of it matters. For all the days ahead, they need only wait for the moment they can return to each other.
