The Premise
Li Susu, daughter of the Hengyang Sect’s leader and an immortal, is sent back in time (~500 years) to prevent the rise of the Devil God, Tantai Jin. His transformation is due to an “evil bone” in his body which, if not dealt with, will allow him to become a destructive Devil God who threatens all realms.
To do this, Li Susu takes over the body of a mortal woman, Ye Xiwu.
Complications and Romance
She is supposed to destroy him (or prevent his becoming the Devil God), but things get complicated:
-
Ye Xiwu is married to Tantai Jin (though at that time he’s still mortal, though already with the evil bone).
-
As Li Susu (in Ye Xiwu’s body) interacts with Tantai Jin, romance grows between them.
She repeatedly saves him and tries to change fate, rather than simply destroy him.
Aftermath / Time-Span
-
Li Susu sacrifices herself as part of changing the fate.
-
Tantai Jin, grief-stricken, searches for Li Susu’s soul for 500 years. He is rescued by a cultivation sect and becomes a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect.
-
Later, Li Susu is reborn, and when they meet again the threat to the three realms resurfaces (because of revelations about Tantai Jin’s birth nature and his destiny).
Climax / End
-
Together, they strive to stop the end of the world and reverse or prevent the destructive path laid out by fate. Tantai Jin must confront his nature and make decisions that impact the outcome.
