Why Does the Demon Lord Always Sacrifice Himself for Me?

The world-ending demonic artifact has appeared and fallen into the hands of the ruler of the Demon Realm. A calamity is about to befall the Three Realms.

To save all living beings, Qingyu ventures alone into the Demon Realm, determined to steal the artifact and destroy it.

Everyone in the Three Realms says that Yan Siy an, the ruler of the Demon Realm, is bloodthirsty and merciless, a terror beyond compare.

For the sake of all living beings, Qingyu risks her life and deliberately gets close to Yan Siyan.

After spending a long time with him, Qingyu discovers that the ruler of the Demon Realm is not as frightening as the rumors claim.

This demon not only follows the righteous path despite being a demon, but also travels all the way to the mortal world to bring rain to drought-stricken lands, so the people can be spared the suffering of natural disasters.

Watching the demon being loved and supported by mortals, Qingyu thinks he is so righteous he seems like a proper hero.

Until Qingyu happens upon the truth: the demon has been deeply in love with a woman for a full thousand years...

The goddess named Shangqing,

whose face is almost identical to hers.

Qingyu understands.

So she is nothing more than an unattainable dream he has pursued for a thousand years.

Unwilling to be a substitute, she gouges out the demon's heart's blood, steals the artifact, and leaves the Demon Realm.

But wherever she goes, the demon always manages to find her.

She turns back on a rainy night and sees his face filled with sorrow.

The demon pulls her into his arms, his voice desolate as he speaks.

He says, "Shangqing, please don't leave me."

Yan Siyan was born a demon, with blood-red eyes from birth, and was rejected by the world.

His own kin cast him into the Three Realms' purgatory, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, where he endured every kind of torture.

He transformed into a vengeful ghost in the abyss and slaughtered every demon there, then climbed out over countless mutilated corpses. From then on, he embarked on a killing spree and became the ruler of demons.

He once believed that everything in the world, good and evil alike, was a blade meant to butcher him.

That was until he met the last god in the world.

The god taught him to distinguish good from evil and right from wrong. The goddess was the kindest person in the world to him.

Later, the god was stripped of her divine position and departed. He crossed the sea of suffering all alone.

Because beyond that sea, a Buddha had appeared.

Legend said that anyone who crossed the sea of suffering and was fortunate enough to meet the Buddha upon it could make a wish.

The demon, with blood on his hands, crossed the sea of suffering and knelt before the Buddha.

The Buddha asked, "What do you seek?"

He replied, "I seek neither ascension to godhood nor dominion over the Three Realms. I only wish..."

The demon only wished to see his goddess once more.

At last, the demon saw his goddess again. She was as beautiful as ever, dazzling the Three Realms.

He hesitated, unsure how to speak to her.

Who could have guessed that his goddess would blush and speak in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz?

"I... I've admired you for a long time. I allow you to sleep in the same bed as me."

The Demon Lord, who had ruled the Three Realms with an iron fist, stood frozen, his whole face red.
