The Demon Lord's Good-for-Nothing Dao Companion Is a Brilliant Scientist

He is a genius scientist who transmigrated from another world, a good-for-nothing trapped in prison despite his extraordinary intellect.

He is a world-ending Demon Lord, awakened after a thousand years, cold and bloodthirsty, yet somehow treating him as special.

An accidental sacrifice and a mysterious fragment of space and time bind two souls that should never have crossed paths with the deadly Knot of Fate. Their forced exchange of spiritual power on the fifteenth of every month keeps them alive, but also draws them into a forbidden entanglement they cannot put into words.

Mu Xuan applies modern thinking to the world of cultivation. Calm and rational, he nevertheless finds himself falling, little by little, for the Demon Lord's fiercely protective ways, sometimes violent and sometimes clumsy.

Ling Shi regards the world as beneath his notice, yet sees the shadow of an old friend in Mu Xuan, and is deeply drawn to this outsider's intelligence and resilience.

Meanwhile, the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley, the Sword Sect's leading disciple, the young lord of the demon tribe, and countless other chosen talents are irresistibly drawn to this defiant pair, some coveting them, some falling for them, and others turning against them.

“Let him go! He is this lord's... only vessel!”

“Heh, Lord Demon, rather than a vessel, I think we're more like... symbiotic partners?”

A push and pull of extraordinary intensity, a bond written in fate. When an ice-cold beauty meets a master of logic, and a heartthrob's charm is unleashed, who can resist this deadly attraction that spans time and space?
