Nie Qing Cheng is a half-demon, except she doesn't know it herself. Or the fact that her mother's demon clan helped shape the Qing Dynasty, and their control ended with Eight-Nation Alliance invading China. Her father had raised her as a human child after her mother died in the conflict. But when a scientist exposed her true form and with a fellow half-demon vying for her love, she wondered if her human side could prevail and if her human lover would stand by her side to the end.
