[Transmigration] [Matrilocal Marriage] [Ailing Husband] [Ghost King] [Identity Reversal]
Lai Yaoyao transmigrates into a book, into a world where humans and demons are enemies and demon hunters run rampant.
She has no golden finger and no cultivation. She can barely make ends meet in a border town by selling storybooks.
Her life motto is just one word: survive.
On a stormy night, she brings home a mute boy covered in wounds. She names him Jin Yuanbao, teaches him to write, and has him copy books and help with odd jobs.
Jin Yuanbao is so well-behaved it's almost unbelievable. He's handy in the kitchen and around the house, and Lai Yaoyao even starts considering having him marry into her family.
But ever since he arrived, strange things have been happening in town: the drunk who stalked her drowned in a water vat, and the shrew who tried to steal her stall went mad.
The leader of the demon hunters points his sword at Jin Yuanbao. "Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor, drop the act."
Jin Yuanbao sets down the dipper and signs with the gestures she taught him: I am not a bad person.
The blade shatters piece by piece.
Lai Yaoyao realizes that the one she brought home wasn't some poor little thing, but the ruler of the entire demon world.
So why does this Demon Emperor only wag his tail for her?
