I'm a Demon Lord, So How Did I Become the Players' Beloved?

Gu Xingyuan transmigrated into a game and became the Abyssal Demon Lord, the final boss destined to be defeated by the "Fourth Calamity."

To avoid being repeatedly defeated by players who could resurrect without end, he made himself a secret identity: the Goddess Yaoguang.

A tragic, frail, battle-scarred darling of the moon, carrying a blood-soaked grudge!

He had planned to issue fake quests and trick the players into handing over materials so he could stay alive. Who knew the entire player base would go completely mad!

"What? The righteous empire dares bully my wife Chuyue? Grab your weapons, brothers! Let's storm the imperial city!"

"What's the Abyssal Demon Lord to us? If he dares lay a finger on the goddess, we'll scatter his ashes!"

And so, the style of the Godforsaken Continent changed completely.

Gu Xingyuan sat on the Demon Lord's throne, watching countless players work for him for free and send him divine artifacts. Even the little abyssal monsters under his command had been recruited by players to help "protect the goddess."

Then the final expansion arrived, and a million players gathered, swearing to flatten the Abyss and rescue the goddess.

But when they fought their way into the grand hall of the Demon Realm, they saw the darling of the moon they had bankrupted themselves to fund, sitting high on the Demon Lord's throne and smiling at them.

The players' faith shattered. "Holy crap! Our delicate wife, the one we risked our lives to raise, is actually the final boss?!"
