After being saved by the immortal Chu Bu Fu, she becomes determined to cultivate at Nanhua but is turned away as it has been foretold that she will become a demon.
At this time, the venerable Luo Yin Fan surprisingly accepts Chong Zi as his only disciple. Chong Zi is very reliant on Luo Yin Fan and wishes for nothing more than to be by his side. In turn, Luo Yin Fan promises to protect her. A conspiracy leads to Chong Zi’s imprisonment and Luo Yin Fan is unable to do anything to help, leading to her death for the sake of peace.
In her second life, Chong Zi comes to Nanhua again. Luo Yin Fan recognizes her in one glance. In order to protect her, he seals the evil miasma within her and keeps her close, thus continuing their relationship as master and disciple. However, there is no escape from the wheel of fate. Chong Zi once again becomes the target of a multitude of arrows. In a fit of rage, she embraces her demonic side and reaches the point of no return.
Fate has played a cruel joke on the star-crossed lovers – one is the venerable master who carries the world on his shoulders while the other has the blood of the demon clan flowing in her veins. They helplessly fell in love, helplessly turned against each other, yet they still cannot break free from their feelings. Can their love shake the rules of heaven and earth?

Chongzi is pure and kind, but she is the daughter of Nilun. Because she is rescued by Yun Junzi Chu Bufu, she is inspired to go to Nanhua to study, but she is rejected because of her natural evil spirit. At a critical moment, Luo Yinfan, the Venerable Chonghua, stepped forward to accept her as his apprentice, and Chongzi became Luo Yinfan’s only apprentice from then on.
Chong Zi relies on Luo Yinfan, and only wishes to be with her day and night, and Luo Yinfan also promises to protect Chong Zi comprehensively. Unable to resist Jiuyou’s conspiracy, Luo Yinfan saw Chong Zi imprisoned but could do nothing, and had no choice but to “finish” her for the sake of the common people.
Above the clouds and sky, Chongzi appeared again in Nanhua as an apprentice. Luo Yinfan recognized her at a glance, and in order to protect her, he sealed her evil spirit and kept her by his side, and the two continued their bond as master and apprentice. However, due to twists and turns of fate, Chong Zi still could not escape the manipulation of those with a heart, she became the target of public criticism and fell into evil spirits in a rage. It turns out that Chong Zi is actually the daughter of the former Nine Nether Realm Lord Ni Lun, who is born with evil spirits and destined to become evil spirits.
Fate is playing tricks, one is the Venerable Chonghua who is committed to saving the common people in the world, and the other is the Nine Nether evil spirits who are born with evil spirits. They love each other helplessly and kill each other helplessly. But in the end, both of them sacrificed themselves under their firm belief in goodness, fulfilling their love and the common people.
