(Gender-equal setting) (BG) (Hypocrite who’s really a savior × Beast in human skin who’s supposedly a world-ending villain) (She’s had other men; he hasn’t)
The world is divided into four realms: the Cultivation Realm, the Human Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Devil Realm.
As a pillar of Dongyu, a kingdom in the Human Realm, Ling Tian has always led a humble, unremarkable life as a privileged elite.
Then one day, she gets caught up in a struggle between factions of princes and trapped in Tigerhead Stronghold. Her already hectic life gets even busier.
She’s the one who offers the bandits amnesty, the one who leads the campaign against the demons, the one who rescues a neighboring kingdom, and in the end, the one who has to save the world!
Ling Tian: ? How many lives do I have? Why am I so busy?
Just when she finally finds a handsome man she likes, it turns out he’s her uncle.
Her uncle has ulterior motives, so she pretends not to hear and acts clueless.
He doesn’t want her seeing anyone else, so she keeps herself chaste and avoids every man but him.
She’ll do everything she can to fulfill his every demand… Just kidding. She was already on guard from the very first one.
Everyone in the capital knows that Lord Ling’s canary has quite a temper. For his sake, Lord Ling won’t even touch a drop of wine, claiming, “My beloved doesn’t like the smell of alcohol.”
They all say Lord Ling is hopelessly in love with her canary, and even turned down the advances of a royal prince for him.
Until one day, a young servant at the Ling residence accidentally wanders into a courtyard. Through the window, he sees that the canary everyone talks about has his wrists, ankles, and waist chained up. The usually genteel Lord Ling grips his waist, eyes bloodshot, and says, “Call me your wife, and I’ll give you my life.”
