Mistook the Demon Lord for Someone to Reform

Top student Jun Wanzhao transmigrates by accident on the eve of the college entrance exams, becoming a blind master hated by everyone in the cultivation world. Bound to her is a System for a school of transformative education.

Because the System is so unreliable, she sees the great villain Wen Heng through an overly rosy lens. No matter what he turns into, she mistakes him for someone who needs reforming.

From an egg to a sickly young man steeped in ghostly energy... Wen Heng keeps changing his secret identities, biding his time and waiting for a chance to take revenge.

Yet every time, she brings him home and raises him to be a model student.

He is the supreme ruler of the three realms. With a mere glance, he could topple the immortal sects and trample the so-called savior, Shen Jinghan, underfoot.

But Jun Wanzhao grabs him by the ear. “Wen Eggy, you haven’t finished memorizing the Analects. Come back with me and study.”

Wen Heng looks haughty and sneers. “Do you think I’ll go back with you?”

Jun Wanzhao lets go and glances at Shen Jinghan, a sly look on her face. “I could take Shen Jinghan back instead.”

“How could the likes of Shen Jinghan compare to me? I’ll go back with you.”

The demon lord, overflowing with murderous energy, obediently withdraws his troops on the spot and lets Jun Wanzhao lead him away.

Shen Jinghan’s pupils tremble. He tosses aside his sword and leaves. “Whoever wants to save these three realms can do it. I’m selling everything I own to go to school too!”

Wen Heng has no idea that Jun Wanzhao’s transformative education System has forcibly bound him. Later, when Jun Wanzhao opens a school and takes on missions, he’ll have to cooperate.

Jun Wanzhao doesn’t cultivate or seek treasure. She spends each day taking it easy. The day her sight returns, she flees in the middle of the night, losing one shoe along the way.

Wen Heng clutches the shoe as he catches up, kneels, and cradles her slender jade foot in his hands. Looking up at her with a smile and an obsessive gaze, he says:

“I haven’t finished memorizing the Analects. You’re not allowed to dislike me, and you can forget about running away!”

Reader’s guide:

1. Both leads are devoted and powerful. This isn’t a brainless story: it’s goofy comedy and redemption, and the heroine is clearheaded, not love-brained.

2. No rivalry between women or melodramatic nonsense. It’s an ensemble story, the leads are both smart, and they grow together. Their personal charm matters more than their fighting strength. The heroine’s top-student intellect overwhelms the cultivation world’s spiritual power.

4. Thanks to Yidao Shandian, Muyi, and Qing Ba Ni De Shou Fang Zai Wo De Xin Shang for the cover character cards.

Chu Miao has lost her memories and is terminally ill. By chance, she finds a young man’s corpse and a mysterious starter pack in a mass grave.

As long as she follows melodramatic plotlines to earn experience points, her health improves.

Chu Miao immediately turns the boy’s corpse into a puppet named Qianmo and takes him along to act out the plots.

[Melodramatic misunderstandings + White Moonlight stand-in plot twists]

The tyrant played by puppet Qianmo holds a sword to the side of her neck, his gaze obsessive and sinister. “Tell me, do you love me?”

Chu Miao scoffs. “Just think about our relationship. How could I possibly love you...”

A flash of swords and blades. That’s right, she’s been killed!

After reloading her save and being reborn, Chu Miao gazes at puppet Qianmo’s cold eyes, presses her hands together, and smiles sincerely. “I do.”

Puppet Qianmo narrows his eyes and gives a dark, cold laugh. “So you have improper designs on me!”

A flash of swords and blades. That’s right, she’s been killed again!

The plot ends. Experience points: 0.

Chu Miao assumes her puppet-making skills aren’t good enough, which is why Qianmo acts this way, until one day...

The young man goes on a killing spree in the mass grave, dragging his long sword closer step by step. His sinister expression and bloodstained face make him look like a beautiful, terrifying ghost who has come to claim her soul.

A ghostly demon?

Chu Miao’s blood runs cold. Her delicate hands shake as she holds out the starter pack. “B-Big brother, this is all I have. P-Please don’t kill me.”

As he bends his head toward her, her eyes flash like blades. She strikes as fast as lightning, thrusting the dagger hidden in her sleeve toward his neck.

Puppet Qianmo leans back, nimbly dodging the deadly strike. But while Chu Miao is distracted, he grabs her hand and forcefully drives the knife into himself!

Blood trickles from his lips and his body, yet he raises his brows and smiles. “Miaomiao, you really know how to stab someone. You always pick my sensitive spots!”

“...”

Puppet Qianmo laughs softly. “Want to do it again? I’ll get even more excited!”

Psycho.

Chu Miao suddenly steps forward, grabs the front of puppet Qianmo’s shirt with one hand, and grips the dagger tightly in the other. The moment she kisses him passionately, she pulls it out.

With a clatter, the faint sound of the dagger hitting the ground brings back every last lost memory.
