The Demon Lord’s Tribulation: The Prince’s Beloved

Beyond the Ninth Heaven, demonic flames blazed across the sky. Ji Lingyou was the Demon Venerable who stood above all living beings. Across ten thousand years, only coldness and bloodshed had been carved into her bones, and she regarded all life in the Three Realms as little more than weeds.

With her tribulation looming, she concealed her demonic aura and ventured into the mortal world, hoping to find a quiet place to weather it. Instead, she was accidentally swept into a political struggle and collided with the regent, Ye Mingyuan, whose power dominated the court, yet who was forever furrowing his brow over the fate of the realm.

One was a Demon Venerable who looked down on all living beings and knew nothing of mortal suffering. The other was a powerful minister who cared for the people and bore the burdens of his country. They were worlds apart, with nothing in common, yet through one encounter after another, Ji Lingyou came to see the sincerity and sense of responsibility in Ye Mingyuan's eyes. It was a glimpse of the everyday warmth of mortal life she had never known and never cared to understand.

She had meant to watch the rise and fall of mortals with indifference. But when Ye Mingyuan was imprisoned and the people stood on the brink of disaster, she could no longer hold back. Amid the mortal world, she quietly reached out to help the man who worried for his country and its people.

When an emotionless Demon Venerable meets a regent devoted to his country, will the heavenly tribulation temper her heart, or will the warmth of mortal life thaw the ice within her? A meeting that began with a tribulation will stir an unexpected storm between the realm of mortals and the demonic domain.
