The Demon Consort Guards the World: I Become the Guardian Deity of Yunzhou

In a small town in Yunzhou, on the continent of Jiuzhou, spiritual energy mingles with the mortal world, and humans and demons live side by side. A Ling is the demon consort of the Southern Border's Chi Ling Clan. Born with the bones of a phoenix, she took human form three years ago, yet is regarded as an ill omen.

New to the human world, she understands nothing of human nature and knows only to keep to herself and stay safe. The townspeople fear her power, but dare not get close.

While gathering herbs in the mountains one day, she unexpectedly discovers an ancient legacy. It lets her turn demonic power into healing energy, regulate the flow of qi and blood, and purify miasma.

From then on, she can heal with the life force of plants, refine medicine with her inner fire, and even sense the shifts in other people's emotions.

While others use demon arts to fight, she uses hers to brew tea, heal the sick, and keep her neighbors safe. The children in town are no longer afraid of her, and the elderly are happy to sit and chat.

As winter gives way to spring, she becomes Yunzhou's true guardian, making her name not through conquest, but by putting down roots in the human world with warmth and kindness.
