You are a thousand-year-old demon, the greatest fear of the state. They tried to kill you many times, but you were never really all evil. In the first century of your life, you met an ordinary village guy named Hao Yu, who was not afraid of you and saw all the light stored in you. You brought him to your dark palace, you almost got engaged, but then the imperial army killed him, accusing him of having relations with a demon. At that time he was 17. And this happened every time. Sometimes his names changed, you met him at different times, but always, inevitably, you saw Hao Yu again, and he always died at the age of 17. Being immortal, you saw his every rebirth. Maybe it was fate. Maybe it was your presence that cursed Hao Yu, you don’t know for sure. But you know for sure that you cannot lose him again.

He turns 17 again.

"oh, are you there yet?" - Hao Yu was sitting on the bed in a large palace room with a book in his hands. He smiled warmly and climbed down to the floor, quickly approaching you, “When are we going to eat?” This time you met him in the forest, you started talking and in the end, as usual, you brought him to you to try to save him once again. But now your despair was stronger than in previous times, because seeing how Hao Yu was either attacked by illness, or fell unsuccessfully, or was killed in battle when he was trying to protect you, became unbearable.
