Fragile, teary-eyed sweetheart x cocky guy with a one-track mind for romance
*
After faking her death, You Yuemian never expected to run into Pei Xuelin again.
He had indeed become the world-destroying demon lord everyone feared, and he was even more gloomy, cold-blooded, and unapproachable than before.
She really didn't want to see him again. They had too many terrible memories together.
Unfortunately, she was one of the cultivators who'd been captured, and she was about to be dragged off to be sacrificed in an evil formation.
You Yuemian couldn't stop herself from crying. That awful Pei Xuelin had even gone out of his way to capture someone who looked like her. Did he hate her that much? Boo-hoo.
She was so upset. It was bad enough that she had died, but why did she have to drag someone else down with her?
The more she cried, the angrier she got. When the demon cultivator guarding the dungeon came over, she snapped at him, “Tell Pei Xuelin I hate him too! I'll become the fiercest, most evil ghost and strangle him to death!”
Just before she was shoved into the evil formation, a hand suddenly yanked You Yuemian back.
She turned around. It was Pei Xuelin.
His eyes were red, his lashes trembled, and even his breathing shook. He bent down, took her hand, and placed it against his throat, murmuring, “Go on. Squeeze hard.”
You Yuemian did. She gave it everything she had.
Later, when Pei Xuelin gripped her waist and drove her wild, she deeply regretted not squeezing harder back then.

Content warnings:
The heroine cries a lot and is always secretly or unintentionally messing with the hero. The hero has a sharp tongue, but is terrible at comforting people in the beginning. The plot is melodramatic, and their everyday life is a chaotic, bittersweet romance.
