After the demon king Ni Lun was destroyed and left for ruin, the demon clan fled into the mortal realm. Despite being the daughter of the highest demon Ni Lun, Chong Zi is a good and pure person.
She is determined to flourish in Nanhua after being rescued by the immortal Chu Bu Fu but is turned away because it has been predicted that she will eventually transform into a demon like her father.
To everyone’s surprise, the aged Luo Yin Fan had accepted Chong Zi as his sole disciple. Chong Zi is completely dependent on Luo Yin Fan and would give anything to be by his side being a veteran in his art. Luo Yin Fan makes a commitment to defend her in return for her faith.
However, soon after, Luo Yin Fan is found powerless to intervene when an evil scheme imprisons Chong Zi, and she is ultimately killed for the good of peace. By this time, both Yin Fan and Chong Zi had developed strong feelings for one another. After her death, Yin Fan patiently waited for his lover to come back.
Chong Zi returns to Nanhua once more in her second life. She is immediately recognized by Luo Yin Fan. He continues their relationship as master and disciple by sealing the wicked miasma inside of her and keeping her nearby so as to protect her from outside harm.
The wheel of fate, however, is unavoidable. Once more, Chong Zi is the target of a barrage of arrows. This time, she embraces her evil nature in a fit of wrath and crosses the line.
