I woke up to find I’d become the biggest womanizer and hapless romantic in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils: Duan Zhengchun!

Programmer Duan Chun stayed up all night binge-watching the show, lamenting that “Duan Zhengchun should have been the protagonist.” When he opened his eyes again, he was in the Prince of Zhennan’s residence in Dali, a sixteen-year-old heir with his wedding fast approaching. A modern soul stuck in an arranged marriage to Dao Baifeng, an underage princess? Duan Chun was devastated. Even worse, he awakened a deadly golden finger.

The Martial Arts Deduction System. It could improve techniques and push them beyond their limits, but every time he used it, it burned away his precious lifespan!

To escape the shackles of fate and survive the perilous martial world, he ventured alone into Mount Wuliang and found the legendary Xiaoyao techniques, Northern Dark Divine Skill and Lingbo Microstep, in a deep ravine beneath sheer cliffs.

The System issued a warning: Northern Dark devours its victims’ internal energy. Without a martial art capable of containing all things to serve as its foundation and balance it, he would explode and die! Shaolin’s Nine Yang Divine Skill became his lifeline.

With his silver tongue, he persuaded the eminent monks of Tianlong Temple to escort him on a journey to Mount Song, where he cleverly obtained the unknown Nine Yang teachings hidden in the Lankavatara Sutra amid the quiet glow of Buddha lamps. With Nine Yang protecting him, extremes of yang gave rise to yin, and he finally forged a perfect foundation!

In this life, the dashing prince would never let them down!

Faced with the women from the original story, he was torn. Qin Hongmian offered righteous help, so he drew a clear line to protect her. Gan Baobao sought help in her time of need, and he aided her without asking for anything in return. Ruan Xingzhu and her daughter were adrift, so he made proper arrangements for them, leaving only kindness between them. But for Dao Baifeng, who loved and hated with equal intensity, he gave her his whole heart and vowed to protect her and give her a peaceful life.

Dali faces internal strife and external threats, as Tubo joins forces with rebels to bring an army to its gates. Duan Zhengchun has just mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Alone, he guards the pass, his sword energy stretching thirty thousand miles.
