Summary
Born the Crown Prince, Xiao Jingxuan escapes court life to become a Taoist priest and pursue one grand ambition: defeating the Demon King. Instead, a disastrous chicken-demon trial brings him face-to-face with Lan Xiao, the aloof legendary Sword Venerable. Between eccentric lessons, dangerous missions, and increasingly obvious feelings, Jingxuan grows stronger—and far more attached. But Lan Xiao’s repeated disappearances and impossible identities turn devotion into grief, misunderstanding, and war. To unite the human and demon realms, Jingxuan must uncover the truth behind the Sword Venerable, the Demon King, and the mysterious Imperial Preceptor, then decide what victory truly means.
