[Everyone's darling + satisfying revenge + an aloof sword immortal turned into a doting dad + leading the righteous world's greatest into corruption + a white-lotus mother]
Bad news: The Demon Lord Gu Miao ruled the demon realm for ten thousand years, only to be betrayed by her most trusted subordinate and reborn.
Good news: She is reborn as the three-and-a-half-year-old daughter of her archenemy, Lord Lingguang, the greatest sword immortal of the righteous path.
Lord Lingguang is an emotionless cultivation fanatic who loves nothing but his sword and treats her like she's invisible. Her birth mother, a white lotus who seems gentle but is actually deeply scheming, is trying to exploit her daughter's status and Lord Lingguang's influence for her own gain.
To stay alive, Gu Miao decides to step in herself and “raise” this father she got by chance into her personal protector, while taking down her fake-nice birth mother along the way!
With tears in her eyes, she complains, “Daddy, someone stole my candied hawthorn!”
The next thing she knows, the young master who bullied her has had his hair crown sliced off by Lord Lingguang's sword and is sentenced to stand at the mountain gate for three days. Her white-lotus mother tries to “plead” for him, but Lord Lingguang ignores her.
She offers a suggestion: “Daddy, our sect is so poor. Look at how rich the demon sect next door is.”
Three days later, Lord Lingguang visits all the demon lairs alone, sword in hand. The demon lords weep as they “donate” eight hundred treasure vaults, while her white-lotus mother begins to worry that Lord Lingguang is becoming “demonic.”
Later, Gu Miao realizes that somehow, she's raised her wooden father all wrong...
