Romancing a Brooding Male Ghost While Hunting Demons

[Pampered Princess × Brooding Ghost] Coming soon: My Cool-Tempered Master Is the Demon Who Will Destroy the World

Princess Li Qingsu of Yongle grew up surrounded by luxury and affection.

While out hunting demons, her spoiled and demanding ways repeatedly put her companions in danger.

When a great demon slapped her to death, she finally learned that she was a cannon-fodder supporting villain in a demon-hunting novel, whose role was to make things difficult for the protagonist.

Before she died, she heard readers complaining: “That useless burden is finally gone. She was so infuriating.”

“She's a real princess, but that doesn't mean she should act like a spoiled brat.”

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the eve of the demon hunt, and was bound to a Cannon-Fodder Supporting Villain Self-Rescue System.

The System told her to win over Jiang Song, the novel's most deeply concealed villain.

The thought gave her a headache. It would be fair to say that she and Jiang Song hated each other.

She also knew absolutely nothing about romance.

The System said, “It's fine. I'll teach you. Step one: Create a chance for the two of you to be alone together.”

So when she fell into a pit, she grabbed Jiang Song and pulled him down with her.

“Step two: Make physical contact.”

So she used Jiang Song as a cushion without the slightest hesitation.

“Step three: Tell him a secret.”

She gave a little cough. “Actually, I was the one who stole your nightclothes last time.”

The System: “...”

“You're the worst Host I've ever had.”

Jiang Song had gone to great lengths to join the demon-hunting party for one reason alone: to get close to the heroine, Nangong Xue.

But his princess of a junior sister kept opposing him at every turn. He had thought that if he couldn't afford to provoke her, he could at least avoid her.

He never expected her to seem determined to cling to him.

He pretended to be pitiful, waiting for the heroine to rescue him, but Li Qingsu came running over instead. “Don't be scared. I'll save you.”

Even at meals, she would stare at him with a beaming smile, then suddenly say, “Jiang Song, you're so handsome.”

If he weren't so sensitive to demonic aura, he would have thought a demon had possessed her.

He used to hate her flamboyant red dresses most of all. She wore jewelry from head to toe, jingling so loudly it grated on his nerves.

But he never imagined that one day the sound would throw his heart into disarray, and he would surrender at her feet.

When Princess Yongle finally chose her future husband, and the whole realm was celebrating, Jiang Song inexplicably pinned her in a corner against the wall. “Are you sure you want him instead of me?”

Then that would-be prince consort could simply disappear.

Content warning: ***The male lead is not a good person, and there is a forced romance later on.

---Coming soon: My Cool-Tempered Master Is the Demon Who Will Destroy the World---

Sang Nian entered the sect at the age of six and was raised by her master, Rong Jing.

In her memories, Rong Jing was often seated on a high platform, his expression compassionate, his features cool, and his emotions rarely stirred.

Though still young, he had already become the foremost figure among the cultivation clans, revered by countless people.

Her master treated her wonderfully, patiently teaching her cultivation techniques, guiding her sword practice by hand, and searching far and wide for rare treasures.

Sang Nian had been born into this world and carried the mission of stopping the demon who would destroy it.

The System told her that the demon was right by her side.

She gave some thought to her senior brother, whose past was so tragic.

From then on, she took care of him in every way, until the whole sect was saying she had a crush on him.

Then one night, she accidentally entered her master's room and saw a pitch-black mark appear on his forehead, a sign that he was on the verge of falling into demonic corruption.

She was shocked to realize she seemed to have chosen the wrong person.

The master she admired most was the demon who would destroy the world.

Having lost all restraint and composure, Rong Jing pulled her into his arms without a word and covered her mouth from behind. “A Nian, you stole my soul and made me fall into demonic corruption. From now on, you won't be able to escape me.”
