The First Snow Falls, and the Leaves Begin to Blush

[Two powerful leads + fantasy romance + sweet indulgence + happy ending]

[Radiant, unruly girl Ye Mucheng vs. prideful Demon Lord Xiao Moran]

A contract binding Ye Mucheng and Xiao Moran for nearly a hundred years ties them together.

He teaches her magic and strategy and helps her quell the turmoil among the Liuyin Clan. In exchange, she must give him a vial of her spiritual blood, infused with the bloodline of the Liuyin Clan.

But is her spiritual blood all he wants?

Ye Mucheng respects him and stays by his side, spending day after day with him. She once thought their relationship would remain nothing more than an unchanging contract for the rest of her life. But one day, beneath the flickering candlelight, she clearly saw the barely restrained desire in the man's dark eyes. Only then did she realize he had been coveting her for a long time.

Rumor has it that Demon Lord Xiao Moran has lived alone in the Demon Realm for nearly a thousand years. His days are dull and monotonous, his existence lonely and bleak, and even the arrogant, haughty nature he once had has been worn down by the passage of time.

But at some point, the demons began to notice a mysterious young woman in red appearing more and more often by his side. She is radiant and unruly, decisive and ruthless, a true cultivator, yet she teasingly calls him “Lord Demon.”

And in all the world, she alone calls him so affectionately.

It is a form of address that belongs solely to her when speaking to Xiao Moran.

Content warning: The male lead rarely gets involved, and mostly just cleans up after the female lead.

The leads have sound values, but they aren't exactly good people.
