> Resumos de Demon Girl
Ming Xia sent people to forcefully bring Nie Qingcheng's father, Nie Rufeng, to Xianlesi. At first, Nie Rufeng was very angry at the man who claimed to be his daughter's friend. But Ming Xia made him realize that without Nie Qingcheng working there, he alone would not be able to shoulder the heavy burden of the family.
At this moment, Nie Qingcheng sang a song her father taught her as a child on stage, making Nie Rufeng recall his daughter's docile appearance when she was young. With Ming Xia's promise, Nie Rufeng finally let go of his worries and no longer interfered with his daughter's life. After this incident, Ming Xia proposed to Nie Qingcheng and became her official boyfriend. When Ming Xia returned home, his mother Fang Yaqing had prepared another blind date for him.
Ming Xia's father died young, and the family business had always been managed by his mother. The mother and son shared a deep affection; Ming Xia often playfully called his mother "princess" to show intimacy. Fang Yaqing intended to set up her son with Miss Meng, ostensibly having Ming Xia accompany her for fun, but actually wanting to foster their relationship.
Ming Xia, of course, knew his mother's intentions, so he took out a photo of himself with Nie Qingcheng from his wallet. Seeing this, the woman could only wisely bid farewell and leave. Fang Yaqing didn't blame her son much, but she was still uneasy and asked Butler Zhang to secretly investigate Nie Qingcheng's background. The investigation quickly yielded results.
The Ming family was one of Shanghai's most prominent aristocratic families; how could Fang Yaqing allow a showgirl who appeared in public to enter their home? She firmly believed that Nie Qingcheng was after the Ming family's wealth. For this, she made a bet with her son Ming Xia: if she could prove her suspicions correct, Ming Xia would have to break up with Nie Qingcheng.
When Ming Xia accepted this bet, he didn't know he was pushing Nie Qingcheng to the edge of a fiery pit. That very day, Nie Qingcheng lost her job at Xianlesi, and Nie Rufeng was also dismissed from school. The Nie family suddenly lost all sources of income. One misfortune after another followed; Nie Qingcheng then received a call that Nie Qingxin had caused trouble at school.
When Nie Qingcheng rushed to the school, she found out that Nie Qingxin had torn a classmate's expensive clothes. The compensation would be hundreds of silver dollars, which was an astronomical sum for the Nie family. Although Nie Qingxin denied it, many classmates unanimously testified that she was the culprit. Nie Qingxin was unable to defend herself, and in desperation, she went to the school rooftop, intending to prove her innocence by dying.
Nie Qingcheng's appearance did not calm Nie Qingxin down. For years, she had been ostracized and ridiculed by classmates in this aristocratic school. Now, filled with humiliation and anger, she pulled two other classmates who had falsely accused her, climbed over the rooftop railing, and plunged towards the hard ground. Nie Qingcheng leaped forward, invisible wings sprouting from her back, forcefully pulling the three falling individuals back onto the rooftop.
The two students were already terrified beyond their wits, unable to think clearly, and hastily fled the rooftop. Nie Qingxin's emotions also stabilized, and she no longer dared to entertain thoughts of suicide. On a full moon night, Shen Tianyang, the deputy general of Guo Xiang, the Commander-in-Chief of Shanghai's Songhu garrison, was killed in the red-light district by a strange bird falling from the sky.
The killer was the demon You Tong, who was naturally cold and aloof, and took it upon himself to punish evil and promote good. Shen Tianyang, who habitually bullied others and indiscriminately killed the innocent, naturally became his target. You Tong's servant, A Xiang, had been loyal to his master for many years. He worried that his master's zeal in eliminating evil would delay his hibernation period.
The police station received an alarm, and Ming Xia and his good brother Xu Shaobai were discussing the case. The most peculiar aspect of this case was the victim's wounds; Xu Shaobai, who had handled cases for many years, had never seen five small wounds simultaneously piercing the victim's throat. He couldn't imagine what kind of weapon could cause such wounds. Regarding such strange cases, Xu Shaobai recalled Professor Jiang Bonian, whom he had met while studying at medical school.
This person possessed superb medical skills but focused on supernatural phenomena; perhaps some clues could be obtained from him. Ming Xia decided to personally visit Professor Jiang. Since he had a dinner appointment with Nie Qingcheng, he left a note for Xu Shaobai to give to Nie Qingcheng. Not long after Ming Xia left, Fang Yaqing arrived at the police station. Upon seeing his aunt, Xu Shaobai immediately stood up to greet her.
Hearing that her son had left a note for Nie Qingcheng, she devised a plan and asked for the note. Fang Yaqing invited Nie Qingcheng to a restaurant, and directly, she took out a large check, demanding that Nie Qingcheng leave Ming Xia. Feeling humiliated, Nie Qingcheng rushed to the police station but was stopped by the guard outside. She loudly called out for Ming Xia but never saw him.
At this point, she believed what Ming's mother said and felt that Ming Xia already had someone new. When Nie Qingcheng returned home feeling lost, she saw her father and sister packing their luggage and leaving. The landlord suddenly needed the house urgently, so he evicted the Nie father and daughter. At this moment, Nie Qingcheng already knew that Ming's mother was behind the mischief. Her optimistic nature made her rally again, preparing to face the unknown life ahead.
In the restaurant, four young masters from distinguished families, who usually lived in comfort, were anxiously waiting for Jiang Xuewu, the goddess in their hearts. But in Jiang Xuewu's eyes, one was an uncultured parvenu, another was a young master who blindly followed his parents with no opinions of his own, one was a homosexual who took a fake relationship seriously, and the remaining medical colleague was merely a hypocrite without medical ethics, unwilling to take responsibility.
Her sharp tongue left the men looking at each other in dismay, and they all left their seats, except for Wang Shaotang, who quietly remained at the table. Shaotang had loved painting since childhood but was forced to become a lawyer due to family arrangements, so it was no wonder Jiang Xuewu said he had no opinion of his own. He stared blankly at Jiang Xuewu's retreating figure, wanting to speak but holding back.
Professor Jiang, accompanied by Ming Xia, arrived at the morgue, and the wounds on the victim's throat immediately caught his attention. That year, when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the city, Jiang Bonian, who was lying on the ground feigning death, saw a red-eyed woman with wings kill a "foreign devil" at the city gate, leaving identical golden claw marks on the enemy's throat.
