The Hou Mansion's True Heiress Is Actually the Host of a Harbinger of Doom

Quirky, eccentric mystic X tsundere, sharp-tongued Tang monk Chu Suishi, the true daughter just brought back to the Marquis's residence, can be gentle and compassionate, clever and perceptive, like a jade-faced Bodhisattva. At other times, she is savage and ruthless, tearing demons apart with her bare hands. It sends chills down people's spines, and the more they look, the more she resembles that living King of Hell in the capital. “You mean she learned it from the Eleventh Prince? Impossible. As soon as Chu Suishi arrived in the capital, she started swindling people under the name of Xie Youming's late master, then splashed blood all over him. With his vengeful nature, getting off with just a layer of skin scraped away would be lucky.” “Why couldn't it be true? I saw Miss Chu return to the residence with a new lover. She'd clearly abandoned him, but the Eleventh Prince chased after her, eyes red, asking why.” “What happened next?” “If he was unhappy, he wasn't going to let anyone else be happy. Xie Youming forcibly took her away and locked her up in the Demon Suppression Bureau. Who knows how much she'd suffer in prison?” Everyone drew in a sharp breath, then cried out in unison, “Miss Chu just watched them take him away?” The old storyteller continued unhurriedly, “Naturally, they parted on bad terms. Chu Suishi even wounded Xie Youming in front of everyone. That proud young man went mad, grabbed the hand holding her sword, pointed it at his heart, and smiled. ‘If that doesn't satisfy you, go ahead and stab me a few more times.’” * Those who suppress demons and demons themselves are sworn enemies, born to oppose one another and fight to the death. Chu Suishi thought she and Azhui shared one body and two souls, but she never knew they had never been the same person. Xie Youming was Azhui, the shackle summoned to keep her in check. Yet things were taking a more and more unexpected turn. No one cared whether she might turn into a demon. Instead, they all started fighting for control. Azhui begged pitifully, “I was born for you. Why can't you look at me?” Xie Youming panicked and hooked his little finger around the girl's. “You call him Azhui. Why don't you call me Ayu? From now on, you can only eat what I make!” * A new student arrived at the Imperial College. They said she was a distant cousin of the Marquis's family, seventeen years old, and only just starting school. Every day in class, she dozed off right under the instructors' noses. So unruly that everyone avoided her. That same year, a master diviner appeared in the capital. The head of the Bureau of Astrology personally went to ask her to serve as an instructor at the Imperial College. Only when people came begging her for help did they realize this was Chu Suishi, the troublemaker who had made everyone at the academy miserable and was hated by all. “Chu Suishi, no, Master Chu, we were blind and treated you terribly!” Chu Suishi smiled sweetly. “Safe travels. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.” Xie Youming smirked. “Suishi told you to leave.” Everyone stared at him, baffled. “Huh? Eleventh Prince, what are you doing here?” Chu Suishi stood and shut the door, leaving Xie Youming outside too. “That includes you.” Xie Youming lowered his eyes. “Suishi, you used to indulge me more than anyone.” Chu Suishi: “?” She had only done that because she thought the other “her” was also herself.
