This work is set against the backdrop of demons and immortals venturing into the world, and unfolds its narrative around the master-apprentice bond between the snake demon Qing 'er and the mortal emperor Zhao Jin. Qing 'er, who had practiced for five hundred years, adopted the deposed Crown Prince Zhao Jin and helped him ascend the throne. However, at the moment of his death, Zhao Jin, with eight hundred lives, defied the heavens and brought him back to life, causing his soul to mistakenly enter the body of the Cold Palace Empress. As Zhao Jin gradually revealed his tyranical nature, the two were entangled in a conflict between their desire for power and their master-apprentice relationship. The novel explores the transformation of pure emotions in the alienation of human nature through the interweaving of court intrigue and cause and effect in the demon world. Qing 'er's divine purity contrasts sharply with Zhao Jin's paranoia, and the group of supporting characters also reflect the proposition of the impermanence of fate.

At five hundred years old, Qing Er calculates that her life is nearing its end and decides to take on a disciple to care for her in her old age and handle her funeral.
The disciple is a pitiable young boy from the palace. Qing Er nurtures him with devotion, turning the pitiable child into a young emperor. The little emperor is filial and obedient, bringing Qing Er great comfort.
On the day she expects to die, Qing Er instructs him:
“Offer immortal fruits three times a day, and maintain incense offerings on the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month without fail.”
Her obedient disciple respectfully agrees.
But when Qing Er reaches five hundred and ten years old, she does not die.
Her disciple forcibly prolongs her life by sacrificing eight hundred living beings.
However, her soul is displaced, mistakenly reborn into the body of a queen who has just been consigned to the cold palace and had her entire clan executed.
Her once filial and devoted disciple now has cold, sinister eyes and a ruthless expression—a living embodiment of a little monster.
