Short blurb:
Xiao Yufeng is a god who suddenly appeared in my life.
But I'm a villain wanted by the Celestial Court.
You ruined my life.
Full blurb:
Yu Chaluo transmigrates into a badly concluded novel and lands right in the middle of a showdown between major villains. Through a series of mishaps, she ends up on the throne as the demon king.
She has no desire to rule the world and spends her days wanting nothing more than to lie flat and sleep.
But she can't. She's wanted by the immortal realm, and that terrifying workaholic immortal keeps chasing her everywhere.
Her nemesis, Xiao Yufeng, is the head of the Celestial Observatory, moonlighting as a geomancer and astrologer while working full-time at slaying demons.
But gradually, Yu Chaluo realizes something is off.
How could the upright gentleman and paragon of the righteous path she was promised be following her so darkly, and even subjecting her to an inhumane, twenty-four-hour surveillance operation?
“Why would you unlock the chains? They're just a bracelet I gave you.”
“What do you mean, your wanted poster? That's a portrait of my one true love.”
“Little poison, let's go on a date in the underworld.”
Yu Chaluo: ?
Until the day of the great battle, when she crushed her demon core and took the fallen god down with her. As she lay dying, Xiao Yufeng rushed toward her like a madman. Kneeling amid a field of corpses, he invoked a divine decree as a spell and wagered that he would be reduced to nothing, all to beg for her life.
Yu Chaluo was deeply moved and prepared to have a gilded tombstone carved for him, only for the King of Hell to tell her that Xiao Yufeng wasn't dead at all.
She searched the world over, and at last found the ultimate demon king, who hadn't shown his face in two thousand years, in a forbidden area of the demon realm. He had Xiao Yufeng's face.
Good heavens, that workaholic was already busy enough in the immortal realm. How had he also been a demon king for two thousand years behind everyone's back?
“Little poison.” The demon king held her tight, rubbing the back of her neck with his fingertips as he smiled ominously. “So what are we to each other now?”

“...Are you taking me to the Celestial Court?” Yu Chaluo asked through gritted teeth.
“A place like the Celestial Court has too many useless spies. I'd rather settle things somewhere private. That way, you won't have every joint in your body pierced by bone-devouring nails, and I won't have to deal with all that troublesome poison of yours. It's better for both of us, don't you think?”
Yu Chaluo had no choice. The hand gripping the back of her neck wielded a thousand-jun force through some strange spell, leaving her no room to resist. Its fingers held her neck in place and pressed her head into a nod.
“Good girl.” Xiao Yufeng's eyes curved as he drew out an object and hung it around Yu Chaluo's neck as a reward.
It was a ring of light with no physical form. Yu Chaluo tried to grab it, but her hand passed straight through, and she couldn't take it off.
He was dragging someone into playing house with him and putting something like a dog collar around her neck. Was this guy seriously sick in the head?

“Every time I capture a demon, I give them a life-saving talisman. It can boost your luck and deflect one fatal attack.”
“That's a thing?” Yu Chaluo was so shocked she hadn't even begun to think; her thoughts were already following his lead.
“Mm. So, will you acknowledge me as your master?”
