[Upright White Lotus vs. Evil Cultivation Overlord / putting scumbags in their place / fiercely protective / love and hate / both sweet and spicy / happy ending]
In her past life, Yun Li was a gifted disciple of the Yunyin Sect. But after a conspiracy led her beloved senior brother to betray her, she was swallowed by an evil creature, her body destroyed.
When she awoke after narrowly surviving, she was no more than a remnant soul. Her master then condemned her as a “collaborator with evil cultivators” and subjected her to brutal punishment, scattering her soul beneath the heavenly lightning and flames.
Reborn at thirteen, Yun Li accidentally saves Chong Yan, the feared Evil Lord who terrifies the righteous sects.
Five years later, Yun Li pulls out all the stops to charm the mighty Evil Lord.
Chong Yan: “If you want my help getting revenge, you’ll have to become someone very close to me.”
Yun Li: “I can become sworn brothers with the Evil Lord, or we can call each other brother and sister. Either works.”
The next moment, Chong Yan leans over and pins her beneath him, a strange red glint in his eyes. “If you want to use me, you’ll have to make it worth my while.”
After that, by day, she uses the hatred she carries from her past life to navigate her way around her master and senior brother, playing the beloved little white lotus of the righteous sects. By night, she becomes the Evil Lord’s bewitching, alluring little demon queen...
