The Night Trial in the Demon Palace

Jun Jiuxiao was forcibly taken to the Demon Palace by Zi Muyu, the eldest princess of the Demon Clan, and thought he was about to face a farce of forced marriage. However, the one who summoned him late at night was not the unruly princess, but her mother—the Demon Empress, Zi Ling. This woman, who had ruled the Demon Palace for tens of thousands of years, was dignified and graceful, exuding an air of regal composure. Yet, for centuries, with her husband missing and the Demon Clan in turmoil, she had single-handedly held together a crumbling regime. She summoned Jun Jiuxiao on the surface to discuss her daughter’s marriage, but the exhaustion and probing hidden deep within her purple eyes were far more complex than anything her words could convey.
