Reborn as a Cannon-Fodder Character, I Meet the Young Master of the Demon Sect on My Quest to Survive

Ye Youyou woke up to a wanted notice and a whole bundle of trouble. All she wanted was to keep her head down and survive.

Unfortunately, the gravely wounded handsome man she’d saved on a whim turned out to be a deranged demon lord who would one day paint the martial world red.

To save her own skin, she fled overnight and hid out as a laid-back teaching assistant at the capital’s most cutthroat academy.

She sipped tea and crunched sunflower seeds by day, and watched the original novel’s hero and heroine suffer through their tragic romance by night. Life was sweet.

But the plot played dirty:

Why did the supposedly aloof and chaste headmaster keep fixing her with a probing gaze?

And why had the demon lord, who was meant to have nothing more to do with her, become the academy’s new fearsome inspector?

He held the life-saving jade pendant Ye Youyou had forgotten, smiling with gentle menace. “Miss, saving my life was not without a price.”
