(Two equally strong leads: a proud, face-conscious demon lord and a gentle, protective, frail prince. I came to the human world just to spoil you!)
The demon lord possesses a human woman cursed to bring calamity, then gets betrothed to her former nemesis, a frail prince who is now out of favor.
She is already worried about losing face before the other demons, and plans to lie flat at the country estate.
But the imperial decree arrives right at her door. When she opens her eyes again, it's already her wedding night!
The old emperor wants to exploit her fate, her own father wants to use her to climb the ranks, and even the prince's household servants dare to shortchange her meals.
Feng Zhaoling tosses aside her veil and sneers, “Whoever wants to be this princess can have the job!”
But as she turns away, the sickly prince pulls her into his arms.
His palm is scorching, his breath faint. “My princess, don't move.”
She throws tantrums and does everything she can to force a divorce, only to discover that her frail husband can nourish her soul!
“The medicine can't be stopped.” Feng Zhaoling grits her teeth and wraps her arms around his neck.
He looks down at her with a smile. “My princess, that's not how you use the antidote...”
As suspicion turns to love, he helps nourish her soul.
She helps him break the poison curse and demon seal, and reclaim his power!
The human world changes, but demons run rampant.
When the demon race lays waste to the human realm, Heaven issues an order to exterminate them.
She merges with her true form and cries out like a phoenix across the heavens:
“My demon realm is no place for trash to run wild!”
He smashes the medicine bowl, his demonic markings splitting the sky:
“Whoever harms my wife will bring the Three Realms down with them!”
The mystery of the war between demons and monsters, and the truth behind their downfall.
A blood-red phoenix among the winter crows: watch as she returns to the demon realm in her true phoenix form!
The "medicine jar" prince is actually a reincarnated demon king, and the unloved princess is also a reincarnated demon king. It is quite enjoyable to read the ancient casual novel about two strong characters. Although it is a short story, the plot is clearly explained. It is a classic about double knots: marriage first, love later, support.
Of course I think it's pretty good 😄
