Progress Toward Redeeming the Demon Lord: Minus One Hundred Percent

[Looking for advance readers for another xianxia novel in the same series, My Senior Brother Won't Marry Anyone But Me After I Woo Him. Blurb at the bottom!]

Unlucky Ni Suiwan transmigrated into a book.

The good news: It was a book he'd written himself!

The bad news: The plot had gone so far off the rails that even the author didn't recognize it.

The original male lead, a Long Aotian who had already become the foremost figure among the righteous immortal sects, had apparently died, and no one could even find his body.

Ni Suiwan: ...I've been set up.

Transmigrated as a sickly little nobody in an immortal sect, he could barely walk three steps without gasping or five without coughing. And somehow, he was sent right in front of a Demon Lord who killed without blinking.

Just then, his System finally showed up and assigned him a mission: [Use your love to reform the Demon Lord!]

[Current mission progress: -100%]

The next second, he saw the Demon Lord make mincemeat of one of his subordinates, leaving not even the slightest chance of piecing the body back together.

This wooing mission you mentioned... is there any chance I could survive it?

Ni Suiwan wanted to bash his head in on the spot.

*

The Demon Realm was rife with conflict, and Ni Suiwan lived in constant fear by the Demon Lord's side.

Ni Suiwan's face was pale as snow. He often covered his lips to cough, the breath escaping between his fingers bitter with the scent of medicinal herbs. Whenever he saw something frightening, all he could do was tremble.

Everyone thought he wouldn't last three days under the Demon Lord.

But a month passed, then two, then more than half a year. Ni Suiwan not only survived, his complexion even improved.

The Demon Lord still wasn't satisfied. He tossed a captive from the righteous sects in front of him and said, “You're so timid and weak. Take a few more people and practice on them.”

Ni Suiwan looked at the person in front of him, the same person who'd bullied him just a few days ago: ...?

Who said the Demon Lord was a bloodthirsty monster? This is great!

Everyone: This isn't right!

The Demon Lord must have been possessed!

P.S.:

1. Ni Suiwan's health improves later on. He's not a traditionally sickly character.

2. A lighthearted comedy of everyday life, happy ending.

3. There will be a little confinement later on, but not much.

*Take a look at my next book, this is what I'm writing next OVO

My Senior Brother Won't Marry Anyone But Me After I Woo Him

[Rebirth / Everyone's Darling / Chasing the Wife to the Crematorium / Saving a Sickly Obsessive]

Le Zheng Yushu had a face as handsome as jade. Even though he was willful and spoiled, he was still the sect's little darling.

Then one day, he was reborn and discovered that his sect would soon be destroyed, and the culprit was none other than his stern, unsmiling senior brother who was always at his side!

Le Zheng Yushu: I knew it! Him always keeping tabs on me couldn't mean anything good!

To save the sect and get his senior brother back on the right path, he decided to take a risk, work hard at cultivation, and change the fate that would see everyone die!

For instance, he picked two wildflowers every day to cheer his senior brother up, gave him a piece of any tasty pastry he came across, and even remembered to bring him cultivation manuals from secret realms.

After doing so much, surely his senior brother wouldn't still want to destroy the world!

Under his influence, his gloomy, obsessive senior brother gradually mellowed out. He even started greeting him when they met on the road, and did everything he could to protect him in dangerous situations. He looked as if he would do his best to pluck the moon from the sky for him.

A redemption plan couldn't be simpler!

But Le Zheng Yushu failed to notice that his senior brother had started looking at him differently.

*

After finally changing the fate that would have killed everyone, Le Zheng Yushu was able to relax. He no longer had to cheer his senior brother up every day, and went back to his old habit of taking it easy.

But his senior brother wasn't happy about that. One dark and windy night, he caught Le Zheng Yushu trying to sneak out of the sect, his expression unreadable. “Why don't you love me anymore? Is it because I haven't told Master we're getting married?”

Le Zheng Yushu: ...?

Who wants to marry an obsessive, sick-in-the-head Demon King like you!

Theme: Cherish life.
