XIaoling takes Weisheng under her wing, training him to suppress the curse with cultivation. However, Weisheng experiences a split personality similar to the rumored Supreme Demon Lord during their training journey. His split personality emerges as his past incarnation and has some history with Xiaoling - a fated, yet cursed history. Cursed with the memories of his past incarnation, Weisheng's only goal in life becomes vengeance. To exact revenge for the sake of his peace-loving Master, he must go against her wishes and throw himself into the ring of war - A war against the Heavens. --- [Excerpt] Xiaoling’s heart skipped a beat. He rested his head on her shoulder often, but her heart pounded as if this was his first time. “Isn’t it funny?” Weisheng asked as he scoffed in amusement, “I vowed to protect a woman named Xiao Hua with all my life, but here I am, insanely in love with a woman named Xiaoling.” “You…” Xiaoling tried to speak but ended up silent. “It doesn’t matter who I am,” Weisheng murmured, “All that matters is you stay by my side forever.” He raised his head from her shoulder and looked into her eyes, “Because you’re the only one I have in this world.” **** “Then you deserve my forgiveness,” Xiaoling smiled brightly, “Even though you ruined my life, you came back to make it up to me, didn’t you?” “That’s just my selfishness,” Weisheng shrugged, “I don’t deserve you, but I will die before witnessing you with someone else, so…” He rolled his eyes, “You just fell into my trap.” Xiaoling chuckled, “It’s okay. I like this trap.” --- Cover Artist: https://www.instagram.com/alina._.smthng/ My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Haru.is.cuter.than.you
The Domains
Xiaoling and Weisheng walked into the shelter. It was the same as always. The cats and dogs were sprinting around the building, full of energy. Many volunteers and mortal managers were looking after the animals. It was full of life. Xiaoling spotted Bojing by a corner, pouring food for the kittens. She tugged on Weisheng's sleeve to catch his attention.
"Gao Bojing?" Weisheng looked his way, immediately recognizing him.
Xiaoling clicked her tongue and whispered, "He's just Bojing now. No surnames for spirits, remember?"
Xiaoling clenched Weisheng's sleeve in her hand and guided him toward Bojing. Bojing noticed the two coming his way.
"Oh! Young Lady Ren!" Bojing called her joyfully, "It's been so long!"
Xiaoling nervously chuckled, "Right, it's been long." She murmured and pointed at Weisheng, "My disciple, Weisheng."
Bojing looked at Weisheng and nodded in approval, then shared glances with Xiaoling.
