Follow-up novel: The Thousand-Layer Scheme of the White Moonlight Chancellor. It seems I may have married the wrong person. The Demon Venerable who has dominated the demon realm for ten thousand years suffers a grave injury. After searching everywhere for medicine, she is given a cure by a demon physician: she must become Dao partners with an immortal who possesses a phoenix root, and dual cultivation will heal her. Only one such immortal exists: the high goddess Yan Lai, who is about to become the Heavenly Crown Prince's consort. The Demon Venerable immediately rushes to Phoenix Mountain, transforms into a little fairy maid in the hot springs, and while the goddess is bathing asks her, "How about we dual cultivate?" Yan Lai is the fated crown princess, the future heavenly empress, and the number one beauty of the immortal world. She looks at the little maid wrapped in demonic energy, pinches the divination, and sends her straight out of Phoenix Mountain. The Demon Venerable refuses to give up. She disguises herself again as a maid in the study and asks once more, "How about we dual cultivate? Your cultivation can ascend to the heavens, and I can obtain immortality and dominate both demon and immortal realms." Compassionate Yan Lai waves her sleeve and sends her out again. Then comes the heavenly wedding of Crown Prince and phoenix maiden Yan Lai, with ten thousand auspicious clouds in the sky. As they prepare to bow to heaven and earth, an outsider bursts into the hall. The crown prince gazes tenderly at the woman he truly loves and abandons Yan Lai. "I'm sorry. I can't marry you. I love her more." The immortals all try to remedy the situation, but the crown prince refuses to repent and leaves arm in arm with his beloved, humiliating Yan Lai before the crowd. At that moment, someone pushes through the masses: the Demon Venerable in red robes, smiling at Yan Lai. "I'll marry you. Let's dual cultivate." The moment the Demon Venerable appears, the immortals all attack to capture her, but the elaborately dressed Yan Lai steps in front of her instead, cold light in her eyes. "We will dual cultivate." The Demon Venerable Hongchen is the illegitimate daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and the former Demon Venerable, a child Heaven refuses to acknowledge. By crashing the crown prince's wedding and seizing the fiancee meant for her prince-brother, she causes Heaven to lose all face. Later, when the crown prince comes to retrieve his princess consort, Hongchen sneers, "Do you think you still have a chance?" Double clean. Enters VIP on Wednesday.
