Yan Sheng had terrible luck transmigrating into a book. The ultimate mission the System gave her was to win over Xiao Wuyan, the mad, ruthless demon lord of this world.
The System had barely finished assigning the mission when Xiao Wuyan, gravely wounded and on the verge of death, came crashing through the roof of her thatched cottage with a bang.
Yan Sheng had planned to keep her head down and survive. But seeing how mercilessly he slaughtered his enemies, she tried to run away that very night, only for the System to hold her hostage: "If you don't win him over, you'll be erased!"
To stay alive, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and try. A steaming bowl of plain noodles, a pot of warming wine: with the warmth of everyday life, she slowly thawed the heart of the man everyone else saw as a cold-blooded monster. What she didn't know was that she was merely a doomed pawn, chosen by the Heavenly Dao to be sacrificed to the demon lord.
"She was the only cure for the desolate remainder of his life, and the incurable illness he was destined to suffer forever."
Then, on the day the immortal sects attacked, she fell into his arms and breathed her last.
"She gave up her life to make him go mad for lifetimes to come. He spent three lifetimes seeking her, praying for a single glance in return."
"I only want her! Why won't any of you let me have her?!"
At that moment, Xiao Wuyan descended into complete madness. He slaughtered the hypocritical immortal sects and bathed the four seas and eight wildernesses in blood, sacrificing all the people of the Three Realms to her.
Through endless reincarnations, love and hatred entwined. As he found her again and again, pulling her back from the depths of hell, she finally understood:
There are people in this world who need only the tiniest bit of warmth from you before they're willing to turn the whole world upside down for your sake.
"The world says the Demon Lord is ruthless and merciless. Only he knows that every bit of tenderness and madness in his life was given to Yan Sheng alone."
