I Was Trying to Help Him Sleep, but the Demon Lord Won't Leave Me Alone

In the blink of an eye,

Mian Yan'an jolted awake! The sleep-aid System she'd recently found was no longer by her ear, and everything before her was pitch-black...

No! Dark red, eerie crystals hung from the ceiling of a huge underground cavern, strange and sinister.

A wave of dizziness suddenly hit the back of her head, then passed in an instant. She opened her eyes, hoping it had all been a hallucination. How had she gone from her comfortable little nest to this dark, damp dungeon?

A long chain was locked around her ankle, and suddenly, right in front of her... a ghost appeared!?

She didn't want to die! She struggled desperately, then somehow realized that he had insomnia... In a daze, she managed to lull the sleepless demon who had suffered for a thousand years into a peaceful slumber...

He asked whether she was some kind of maid. Mian Yan'an was completely bewildered. In her confusion, all she could think was that she wanted to stay alive!

"You made a mistake..."

The demon spoke with a tone that meant she was doomed: "But you have no say in the matter..."

"Your only fate is death."

Luckily, she escaped death: the demon fell asleep! She even became the Demon Realm's priestess.

The only priestess in the Demon Realm.

Her nightly job: coaxing the demon into bed.

Damn it, her job was to help the thousand-year insomniac demon fall asleep! The voice of the sleep-aid System rang straight through her mind.

[Heal the sleepless Demon King, repair the sleepless world, and you can return to the real world.]

But... she never imagined what would happen later.

As Mian Yan'an kept helping him sleep, she ended up holding hands with the demon, embracing him, kissing him, and even sharing a bed...

Her heart was fluttering! Even the demon's voice had become so captivating.

"Mianmian, you are the most beautiful woman in this world."

"Mianmian, you'll never find anyone else as loyal to you as I am."

"Mianmian, I want to sleep."

"Mianmian, how did you faint..."

Mian Yan'an's real world finally got its savior.
