Demon Slayer: A Gruff Man Spoils the Demon King Like a Darling Husband

After finding himself transported to the mountains of Demon Slayer, fearless adventurer Li Yan discovers that he's a walking nightmare for demons: any demon that comes near him is instantly reduced to dust! His peaceful life in solitude for a year is shattered when the Demon King Muzan barges in. After an accident involving a strange fruit leaves the two entangled for three days, the rugged man wakes to find an impossibly beautiful stranger beside him. Resolutely taking responsibility, he carries the stranger back to his mountain cabin. But the beauty turns out to be Muzan Kibutsuji! Even stranger, when Muzan is near Li Yan, he can bask in sunlight without suffering any harm. To figure out this glitch in the rules, the haughty Demon King agrees to stay in the mountains for a while, only to gradually lose his composure under the rugged man's doting, husband-worshipping care. Li Yan builds a cabin to shelter him from wind and rain, seeks out delicacies to please his palate, and uses shameless persistence to brush off every cold shoulder. No matter how much Muzan tests him or tries to escape, Li Yan firmly yet gently draws him back to his side. One is a fearless man from another world, immune to demonic power; the other is a thousand-year-old Demon King bound by the rules. Though natural enemies, the two develop a forbidden bond as they spend their days together. As the Demon Slayer Corps closes in with blades drawn and the Upper Ranks come prowling, Li Yan awakens his hidden strength to protect his “family,” while Muzan is willing to let go of a thousand years of obsession for this unexpected warmth. Living together under the sun and staying by each other's side in the mountains, their intense push and pull across the boundaries of species and rules will finally break the cycle of hatred. The purest vitality meets the coldest curse, and together they create the most moving redemption.
