Changsheng is the Young Mistress of the Demon Race, but the woman she loves is a disciple of the Immortal Sects. In this day and age, their backgrounds shouldn’t be an issue the demons and humans have long since reconciled and signed a peace treaty. The real problem lies with the lover’s master.

A peerless sword prodigy who found fame in her youth, rumors say she once loved a demon loved them enough to give up everything only to be betrayed and stabbed, nearly losing her life.
In that moment of agony, she achieved enlightenment, mastered the “Sword of Heartlessness,” and turned her blade back on her lover. Since then, she has locked her heart away, harboring a deep-seated hatred for the Demon Race and every heartbreaker under the sun.
Intrigued, Shen Li decides to play the mediator and convince the Immortal to bless her disciple’s union. At their first meeting, Shen Li taunts her, claiming she is too cold and arrogant for anyone to ever love no wonder she was betrayed. In response, she nearly ends up with a gaping hole in her chest from Xuanguang’s sword.
