An Ancient Romance: A Fate Between Gods and Demons

Ancient Love: A Divine-Demon Romance tells the story of how, after humanity was destroyed by the waters of the Heavenly River, Lady Nuwa molded people from clay on the Three Lives Stone, creating Ji Shuicheng (Xuanyuan), Jiang Shuicheng (Yan Emperor), Shui Qingying, lions, tigers, and many other creatures. By a twist of fate, the serpentine pattern Lady Nuwa left on the Three Lives Stone transformed into a dragon, Shui Linze. Later, Shui Linze sacrificed his physical body to resurrect Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan became the dragon's incarnation and was known as the Yellow Emperor.

The Yan Emperor was hot-tempered and stubborn. In his quest to claim the Xuanyuan Sword, he fought Xuanyuan in a fierce battle, and the two became enemies. Shui Qingying, wounded by the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi's bell, met the Yan Emperor beside Bibo Pool and helped him bring clay figures and objects to life, thereby establishing the Yan Emperor's tribe. As they spent their days together, the Yan Emperor and Shui Qingying fell in love.

When hunters from Xuanyuan's tribe accidentally captured Shui Qingying and Yun Ruo, the Yan Emperor flew into a rage and killed Xuanyuan's people, sparking a long and bitter conflict between the two tribes. To fight Chiyou's hellfire, Shui Qingying joined forces with Xuanyuan. After learning that her beloved, the Yan Emperor, was involved with Jiang Yuerong, a woman from his tribe, she was overcome with despair. Xuanyuan comforted her, and their hearts became one.

Chiyou became a demon. To bring harmony among humankind, Shui Qingying mediated an alliance between the Yan and Huang tribes. Together they fought the demon beasts and eventually established a home for humanity.
