A cool-faced, adorable demon king heroine who protects him, and a shameless, weak-as-hell hero ^-^
An overwhelmingly powerful, decisive, cold-blooded general vs. a scheming, versatile, passionate politician
Lu Xuan dreamed of becoming an engineer as a child. Although he ended up a politician who could get along with anyone, he never lost the habit of scavenging mechs from all over space and fixing them for fun.
This time, though, he found a person.
One glance at her was all it took for him to feel like the whole world had gone to war.
Lu Xuan instinctively thought she was beautiful and delicate, someone who needed his protection.
That was until the "delicate" girl blew ten heads off without missing a shot, then snapped a thug's neck without changing her expression, right in front of him.
He stared at her blankly amid the spraying blood,
only to find his heart beating even faster.
She said, "Stay away from me. I'm a demon."
But Lu Xuan didn't think so. He thought, You're a goddess.
Since becoming a senior general of the Grand Alliance, Wen Zhonglan has spent more than a decade earning both praise and condemnation. Those who hate her attack her as "a wolf in sheep's clothing," while those who depend on her praise her as "the Silver-Faced Goddess."
But she doesn't care. None of it means anything to her.
She has always thought that in this life, she has struggled through her mixed-blood heritage, fulfilled the responsibilities she had to fulfill, and saved everyone she could. When she's had enough of living, she'll find some out-of-the-way corner, close her eyes, and die owing nobody anything.
Until someone found her in that out-of-the-way corner.
General Wen has ruled her world for a lifetime, but now she can't bring about the ending she planned for herself.
At her wits' end, Wen Zhonglan thinks, If I can't afford to provoke him, surely I can still avoid him?
But this man, relying on his handsome face, shamelessly clings to her: "General Wen, if you ever disappear without telling me, I'll come looking for you. If I fall and get crippled or die on the way, it'll be on your head."
Wen Zhonglan is furious at the unexpected responsibility dumped on her and threatens him menacingly. "Shut your mouth, or I'll break your legs."
"Then you'd have to push me around in a wheelchair. What a hassle."
"Why would I push you around?"
"Because you can't live without me."
We survived alone in the starry wasteland until one day, the stars lit up.
Reading guide:
1. The heroine is the strongest, always.
2. The male lead's identity gets exposed.
3. The setting is entirely fictional, with lots of original worldbuilding.
