The Fake Heiress Is a Real Demon, and the Commander Has Fallen for Her

Xie Qingyuan fled all the way to Chang'an with her mother hot on her heels. At death's door, she came across the murdered daughter of the Marquis of Changping. They made a pact: Xie Qingyuan would return to life in the girl's body, assume her identity, and avenge her family; in return, she would finally be able to live openly as herself.

To uncover the truth, she deliberately approached Pei Xu, commander of the Demon Suppression Office, a man who hated demons and had sworn to exterminate them all.

He scrutinized this "flaw-ridden" daughter of a marquis with icy eyes, yet fell for her as they spent their days together.

Until she was surrounded in a deadly trap, her mortal body shattered, and her demon form exposed.

He watched with his own eyes as the woman he had spent every day with revealed her inhuman nature. His obsession and affection collapsed in an instant. He hated every demon under heaven, yet he could not bring himself to kill her.

She left a final letter, severed all ties with him, and went to her death alone.

But at that very moment, he uncovered a shocking truth: his kidnapping had been part of a conspiracy all along... The prejudice that had been exploited had nearly made him kill the only light in his life with his own hands.

He came through a rain of blood, blade in hand, eyes red as he said, "Of all the demons in this world, you're the only one I'll protect."
