Synopsis

For thousands of years, humans and demons have been trying to find the ancient Kunlun Mirror, which can guide them to the celestial mountain sea named "Yuli Spring", granting humans immortality and demons a thousand years of cultivation. One hundred years ago, Demon King Hong Ye assembled all the pieces of the Kunlun Mirror for the human princess Ning'an. However, on their wedding day, Ning'an betrayed and killed him for being a demon. Hong Ye's primordial spirit survived but was badly injured. One hundred years later, he was accidentally awakened by Xiao Yao, a half-human, half-demon girl who looks exactly like Ning'an. As Xiao Yao becomes entangled with Hong Ye, the hidden past and the truth behind "Yuli Spring" gradually unfold.
