Unconventional, flirtatious demon god × restrained, obsessive, tsundere lord of the underworld
The Fire God Chang Li is infamous throughout the heavens. As the enforcer of divine punishment, she has blood on her hands and is arrogant and unruly, making all the other immortals avoid her.
Perhaps her karmic debts had come due. She was framed and fell into the underworld, where she slept for three thousand years...
She knew there were many people who hated her. She just never expected that Zhen Ling, the new lord of the underworld who had only taken over a little over a thousand years ago and had never had any dealings with her, seemed to hate her too.
At first, it wasn't obvious. He was simply discourteous and deliberately treated her with contempt. Even after she woke, he still didn't show himself, using only a mirror to bundle her up like an object and send her back to the Ninth Heaven.
The next time she fell into the underworld, he was even worse. He not only confined her, but even tried to die with her in someone else's dream!
What's more, she discovered that he might have had a hand in the plots against her.
"Everyone who hates me has their reasons. What's yours?" Chang Li finally asked him, at the end of her patience.
He propped his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful. "Hate you?"
He seemed never to have considered the question. Now that she'd asked, he sneered. "I wish I hated you."
?
Chang Li didn't understand. If he didn't hate her, why was he always picking fights with her?
"Could it be that you love me?" she asked.
It wasn't as if she had no reason to ask.
She'd heard from the underworld officials that during the more than a thousand years she'd slept in the underworld, this new lord had gazed at her coffin every day and even sent away everyone on duty.
Seeing is believing.
She had just climbed off Zhen Ling, the sweet, fresh blood of the underworld lord still on her lips. Her marks covered his neck and shoulders, yet he only lowered his eyes and endured it, without resisting at all.
Her words seemed to infuriate him. He paused, then flipped her onto her back and pinned her beneath him. His face was full of disdain, but his eyes were aggrieved. "Are all heartless people as confident as you? Why would I fall in love with a pet raised in the underworld?"
After pushing him away, Chang Li began to worry. If the kid neither hated nor loved her, was he just a total pervert?
