When "saving many" requires different methods, what is right? And who gets to decide?

In a world where demons roam and cultivation determines one’s fate, two youths are destined to meet.

After the occurrence of the blood moon, Ye Cheng, a half-demon is sent to the martial world to investigate the event. He is very talented, but his sharp tongue and rebellious nature make people not take him seriously. With his glowing hair ribbon as his weapon, he was  determined to survive the Academy that would destroy him if they knew his origin.

Shen Yuan is a cold, righteous swordsman raised to hate all demons. But when his path crosses Ye Cheng’s, hatred eventually turns to obsession and something deeper he can't explain.

As secrets unravel and emotions arouse, the line between enemy and ally blurs over love, regret and hatred. 

At Shenhui Academy where survival is earned, love might be the deadliest trial of all.
