[Revenge + satisfying read + devoted couple. Cool-headed heroine × arrogant Demon Lord]
Nangong Qingshuang belongs to the Nangong Clan, the most mysterious family of the Floating Cloud Creek Continent in the Illusion Spirit Continent.
On the eve of the day she was supposed to inherit the position of thirteenth sect leader, her family was slaughtered over its most treasured relic, leaving devastation in its wake. She perished with them.
“I, Nangong Qingshuang, swear on my soul, stake my life, and seal my vow in blood: I will not return until I have avenged this grudge!”
Nangong Qingshuang decides to take her younger sister, Nangong Ran, and seek the Demon Lord’s protection.
But the moment they meet, a twist of fate leads them to kiss first.
“Demon Lord, I’d like to make a deal with you.”
“You dare negotiate with me after taking liberties with me?”
At that moment, the Demon Lord wants nothing more than to kill Nangong Qingshuang.
…
Later, the two join forces to defeat the seven great sects one by one, and Nangong Qingshuang finally reclaims what belongs to her.
“So now that you’ve used me, you can toss me aside like an old shoe and abandon me, Ah Shuang?”
But she has no idea when the Demon Lord latched onto her. He shamelessly makes a scene right there and then.
“We’re using each other. You’re not losing out.”
Nangong Qingshuang plans to take the treasured relic back to the Floating Cloud Three Continents, inherit the position of sect leader, and rebuild her family.
“Stay. The entire Demon Realm will be yours, and so will I.”
The Demon Lord clings stubbornly to Nangong Qingshuang, even resorting to his good looks to keep her by his side.
“Why don’t we make another deal?”
Moved by the Demon Lord’s sincerity, Nangong Qingshuang’s heart softens.
“I’ll offer the Floating Cloud Three Continents as your betrothal gift, and you’ll give me the entire Demon Realm. Marry into the Nangong family, and stay with me for life. What do you say?”
