To end the curse that had plagued his family for millennia, he chose the darkest path.
As the 97th Master of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki has always been a gentle and revered leader in the hearts of all his members. However, as the curse increasingly erodes his life, and as he foresees that his daughters will repeat the same mistakes, on the verge of despair, he makes a choice that will shake the world—to make a deal with Muzan Kibutsuji and become the most hidden Upper Moon Zero.
By day, he remains the lord who guides everyone in the fight against demons; by night, however, he is loyal to his millennia-old nemesis. When the truth is revealed on the eve of the final battle, the Demon Slayer Corps' faith crumbles overnight. The former "father" becomes the most despicable traitor, and the Pillars who once swore their undying loyalty turn their blades against each other.
But at the end of this sin-soaked road, does Kagaya hold a trump card that can turn the tide for a thousand years? When wisteria blossoms alongside bloodshed, this game of chess that began with betrayal will finally reach a shocking conclusion.

Amidst the pervasive blood-red light, the phantom of a divine sword, shrouded in endless killing intent, slowly materialized in his hand.
The Asura Divine Sword! Appears in the world!
The entire hall fell silent. The worshippers were horrified, and Qian Daoliu's expression changed drastically.
Looking at Qian Renxue beside him, whose face was pale and eyes were brimming with tears from being frightened by Shenwei, Jin Fan sheathed his divine sword:
"Little Xue, don't be afraid, this sword in my hand will help you cut down Tang San!"

Xia Qianhe, a former Demon Lord, possesses both strength and good looks, and has countless fans, but is also a notorious "henpecked husband".
His Daoist partner, Song Ning, was as beautiful as an immortal, delicate and frail, and was a priceless treasure that he cherished and kept hidden away.

Xia Qianhe: ……
He only had time to yell at the waiter: "Don't embellish!"
However, it was too late—
The celestial music of Tianyin Pavilion suddenly stopped, and a clear, melodious voice resounded throughout the hall: "Tonight, all expenses will be paid by Young Master Xia."
Everyone cheered, "Young Master Xia is so magnanimous!" Only one person looked ashen-faced.
Oh no, his seemingly weak and helpless fairy-like partner is indeed here!
Making him pay a fine is a small matter, but forcing him to kneel through the jade bricks of the cave is a big deal. What should we do?!

In order to survive, Xia Mu had no choice but to pick up the long sword left behind by the man and fight.
He didn't know that the moment he grasped that knife, he had become Death himself!
