Episode 1 recap: Mo Chenyuan was captivated by Feng Ruoyao.

For thousands of years, there has been a conflict between the Qingxu Realm and the Xuanming Realm, with immortals and demons at odds. They have engaged in numerous battles, all of which ended in the defeat of the demon realm, until the appearance of the most powerful Demon Lord, Feng Ruoyao. Surprisingly, in the battle against the Immortal Lord Mo Chenyuan of the Qingxu Realm, Feng Ruoyao defeated him and imprisoned him in the demon realm. One hundred years have passed, and Mo Chenyuan shows no intention of leaving. However, as he continues to be treated well with delicious food and drinks, Feng Ruoyao can no longer bear it. She goes to ask Mo Chenyuan to leave, but he remains indifferent and has no intention of going back.

Initially, when Feng Ruoyao defeated Mo Chenyuan, she decided to imprison him to humiliate the Qingxu Realm. Seeing his handsome and elegant appearance, she couldn't help but feel a fluttering of affection and even wrote a marriage certificate, intending to keep him as her male pet. However, Mo Chenyuan not only burned the marriage certificate but also unlocked the bound chains himself because he had a golden protective aura that prevented anyone from getting close to him.

When Feng Ruoyao realized that she could not use him for herself, she wanted to release him and let him go back. However, Mo Chenyuan, on the contrary, was unwilling to leave. So, Mo Chenyuan has already spent one hundred years in the demon realm, and rumors about the romantic relationship between Feng Ruoyao and Mo Chenyuan have spread throughout the three realms. Little did they know that due to the golden protective aura, Feng Ruoyao couldn't even touch him with a finger. Feng Ruoyao is an ancient divine bird, highly esteemed, but currently going through a molting period. During this time, her power and cultivation would vanish, leaving her as vulnerable as an ordinary person. Seeing the red flames on her crown flickering unsteadily, Feng Ruoyao felt a sense of panic.

News arrived from the Qingxu Realm that Mo Haoli is soon to be married, taking Mo Chenyuan's fiancée as his wife. Seeing this, Mo Chenyuan believed it was time for him to return. When Feng Ruoyao asked why he suddenly wanted to leave, Mo Chenyuan explained that his father was forcing him to marry someone he didn't love, so he sought refuge here. Now that someone else is marrying her, he can go back.

Before leaving, he coolly said to Feng Ruoyao that they will meet again. In order to overcome the current crisis, Feng Ruoyao must cultivate with a male cultivator from the immortal realm. The thought of Mo Chenyuan made Feng Ruoyao blush with shyness.
