After Getting Entangled With The Black Lotus

If time could turn back, Yao Qingyue would absolutely slap herself the moment she said those three words to Hua Yurong: "You can have her."

Hua Yurong—the protagonist of the novel The Path to Becoming a Demon—was born unable to walk properly. She was ruthless, obsessive, and so petty that even the tip of a needle seemed generous by comparison.

Yet Yao Qingyue had unwittingly offended her.

When they first met, she mistook Hua Yurong for a wicked woman trying to steal someone else's Dao companion. She mocked her mercilessly, offending her beyond repair.

Later, under the influence of a malevolent spirit and a powerful demon, she mistakenly believed she had been physically intimate with Hua Yurong. Left with little choice, she entered into an agreement with her to become Dao companions in name.

Yao Qingyue stared at the stunning beauty sitting upright on the bed, dressed in a phoenix crown and embroidered bridal robes, her delicate figure looking frail and sickly. Suddenly, she snapped to her senses.

Holy crap! How the hell did she end up marrying Hua Yurong?!

Yao Qingyue was utterly despairing: Was it too late to call off the marriage now?

Hua Yurong smiled: "I'm sorry... I'm afraid it's too late."

Now that you've come to my side, don't even think about leaving.

....

At first, Hua Yurong thought Yao Qingyue was nothing but a fool, hopelessly infatuated with someone unworthy of her affection, who had even mistaken the identity of her "enemy."

Yet as they spent more time together, she found herself increasingly unable to understand Yao Qingyue.

She was lazy yet hardworking, muddleheaded yet clear-sighted, greedy for money and beauty yet strangely indifferent to worldly desires. She always had her own twisted logic, often leaving others completely baffled.

But when this woman stepped in front of her without the slightest hesitation, shielding her from countless malicious rumors and ill intentions, Hua Yurong belatedly realized that she was far from indifferent to her.

Hua Yurong: "Very well. Since you like me so much, I'll give you a chance to get closer to me."

At the time, she believed she merely pitied Yao Qingyue and could walk away whenever she pleased.

It wasn't until the Linxian Sect fell, the demonic sword emerged, and countless demons poured forth from their lairs that she finally understood. Watching that person fall from the heights like a butterfly with broken wings, her fragile figure seemingly shattering as she plummeted, Hua Yurong realized that she had long since reached the point where she could no longer live without her.
