[A Slow-Witted, Soft-Spoken Girl with a Fake Succubus Constitution x A Handsome, Brooding Man with a Real Succubus Constitution]
Chu Ruo transmigrates into a book as the delicate, universally adored heroine of a harem novel for women.
In the story, the heroine is doted on from childhood by one male love interest after another until she's useless at everything. She needs someone to brush her hair and help her get dressed. She's a pampered, delicate flower, and the thing she does most often is lie in bed, crying and saying no.
With things as they are, Chu Ruo figures she might as well lie flat.
But on her very first day after transmigrating into the book, one of the male love interests sneaks into her room. She nearly gets dragged into one of the original story's explicit scenes under the pretext of trying on clothes.
Just as things are about to get indecent, she kicks him in the crotch, grabs her bedding, and runs off into the night.
While fleeing, Chu Ruo meets an extraordinarily beautiful blind boy.
His name is Bai Qianyu. He looks like a male version of her, stunningly beautiful, with a delicate disposition. Everything about his food, clothing, and daily life is meticulously refined, but he's hopeless at taking care of himself and needs her to brush his hair and help him get dressed.
Out of sympathy for a fellow sufferer, Chu Ruo takes him in and travels with him.
They pick flowers together, eat fruit together, and listen to stories together. The boy plays her an ancient folk song from his hometown and tells her that she's the only one who can hear it.
Anyone can make a promise, so Chu Ruo doesn't take it to heart.
Until the male love interest searching for her traps them both. After he finishes his descent-into-darkness routine and is about to force her to be his, someone comes up behind him and stabs him straight through the heart.
That day, Chu Ruo discovers that the boy isn't blind, nor is he a young nobleman who ran away from his family. He's the great villain from the original story, a man who leaves a bloody trail of slaughter in his wake.
He's a legendary charm demon, able to bewitch and control people's hearts, making fools throughout the world obsessed with him, lose their reason, and kill one another.
But even a charm demon has a fatal weakness: if the person he loves cruelly abandons him, his heart will break completely, and he'll die.
After discovering the truth, Chu Ruo runs away again, this time much farther, to a place where nobody knows her.
Until one rainy night, when she's hiding in an inn in a remote town and hears someone shove open her door. A familiar, breathtakingly beautiful face appears before her.
That night, Chu Ruo sees the boy remove the red silk covering his face for the first time. His eyes turn a brilliant gold.
That's the color charm demons' eyes turn when they use hypnosis.
"Shh."
Inside the bed curtains, he holds the immobile Chu Ruo in his arms. His fingers rest gently against her lips as he kisses the side of her ear again and again, his breath hauntingly soft.
"Ruo Ruo, we charm demons can only love one person in our whole lives. You've made me fall for you... so you can never run away again, all right?"
