Raw Romance

Coming soon: An Ordinary Fangirl, But the Strongest Demon Hunter

⊹ 158 cm sweet Cosplayer × 192 cm secretly passionate demon king, top-tier push and pull, flirting both ways ⊹

The day Li Haojing broke the world climbing record, Ruan Yuan, a famous cosplayer with nearly ten million followers across the internet, livestreamed the entire competition.

On screen, the man leaped into the air and locked onto a tiny hold with one hand, like an eagle clinging to a sheer cliff.

Comments streamed by:

"I hear climbers have incredible finger strength and are really good at gripping."

"..."

"Aaaah, I meant the climbing holds!!"

"..."

"Streamer, why is your face bright red???"

Ruan Yuan was a legendary sweetie in the cosplay community, with an innocent, first-love kind of face. In private, she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

She fell in love at first sight with the new neighbor across the hall.

He was 190 centimeters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. Even an ordinary black T-shirt gave him a wild, intimidating air.

Standing in front of him, petite little Ruan Yuan looked like a lop-eared rabbit that had wandered into a predator's territory.

Only later did she learn that her cool, taciturn neighbor was Li Haojing, the demon king of climbing ranked number one in the world by the IFSC.

One day, Ruan Yuan heard that Li Haojing's ideal type was a mature, alluring woman.

With a heavy heart, she tossed out all her cute, soft dresses, put on black stockings and high heels, got a sultry, flirtatious perm, and nervously knocked on his door.

Ruan Yuan bragged that she was experienced and had dated countless men. Before long, she really did win Li Haojing over.

Until one moonlit, romantic night.

In the dim room, their breaths mingled as the man's tall, imposing body leaned over her.

Li Haojing held her close, his gaze burning and his voice low and husky. "You do it."

Ruan Yuan was burning with embarrassment, but she tried to keep up her mature-woman persona, fumbling around for ages with trembling hands.

At last, teary-eyed, she dropped the act. "...Where are the buttons on your clothes, anyway? QAQ"

Li Haojing: "..."

Li Haojing sighed helplessly and pulled her into his arms. "You're hopeless. I'm wearing a pullover."

Ruan Yuan: QAQ

"I've climbed countless treacherous cliffs, but it was only in your heart that I fell."

Coming-soon blurb:

Ming Ci was an ordinary fangirl, with the username "Mercy."

After dying unexpectedly, she transmigrated to another world.

The original owner had no money and was deeply in debt. It was a disastrous start. To pay it off, Ming Ci decided to interview for the highest-paying job on the market: "demon hunter."

The interviewer looked her tiny frame up and down with disdain and said without mercy:

"You should go home. This job requires the following qualities. First, patience."

Ming Ci: "I can stake out the same spot for over three days just to take photos."

The interviewer gave her a strange look. "Second, strength."

Ming Ci: "I can lift a ten-jin camera with one hand without shaking or blurring the shot."

The interviewer sat up straight. "Third, extraordinary mental fortitude."

Ming Ci: "I can edit an ugly male celebrity into a godlike beauty without batting an eye."

The interviewer looked at her with newfound respect. "Last, and most important, courage."

Ming Ci fell silent for a moment.

"I used to be a fan of that ugly male celebrity I just mentioned."

The interviewer was thrilled. "That's incredible courage!! We need a versatile talent like you! May I ask your name and what you did before?"

Ming Ci smiled. "I'm 'Mercy.' I'm just an ordinary fangirl."

In this world, mechanical technology had advanced at a breakneck pace.

Forbidden wisdom flowed through cold bones and blood, while the restless growl of monstrous beasts lurked beneath writhing flesh.

The gods showed no mercy, and people were estranged from one another.

To stay alive, Ming Ci became a "demon hunter," hunting down the ferocious beasts that plagued the cities.

One person, one gun.

Step by step, she tore through the false schemes of the heavens and climbed the steps to godhood.

From then on, the strongest legend lived on forever in the demon-hunting profession.

Those troubled by the beasts had only to kneel in prayer:

"Beg for Mercy."
