Help! I Buried the Demon King Alive

❤️ Adorable, beautiful, easygoing demon hunter & tsundere, honest-at-heart, cold-faced, cute demon king (both pure) ❤️

Shen Nian was an unlucky demon hunter.

Her unreliable master kicked her off a cliff. She crashed into someone while learning to fly. She mistakenly thought he was dead and even buried him on the spot.

As she buried him, her heart raced so fast it nearly jumped out of her chest. She thought she was unbelievably unlucky.

She gave herself two options.

One: bury him and leave.

Two: find his family.

To put her mind at ease, she decided to bury him and then look for his family. But just as she was about to leave, a jade pendant on his person caught her eye.

The moment she touched the pendant,

a golden light shot straight into her head, as if she had forged a pact with something.

She didn't know who the person she'd "crashed into" was. She only saw that he had delicate features and a cold bearing, like snow on a mountain peak.

"What a pity. Pick a better family next time you're reborn, and just pretend you never met me."

She lowered her eyes to look at him, her face showing a hint of regret.

During an accident, someone pinned her to an ice bed and tried to peel off her face. A figure suddenly descended from the sky and stood in front of her.

When she saw his face clearly, she was horrified. "Weren't you dead?"

Shi Feiwang was the master of the Nine Nether Demon Market. He was said to be extraordinarily powerful, petty, and fond of holding grudges.

He never imagined he would be knocked unconscious and buried alive by a mortal.

Even more infuriating, the two of them had somehow formed a life-sharing pact.

Whenever the pact activated,

if she sprained her ankle, his foot hurt.

If she was injured, he coughed up blood.

If she died, he wouldn't survive either.

He couldn't hit her or kill her. It was like he'd found himself a little ancestor to serve.

Until one day, he finally found her. The moment he saw her face, he froze.

"How can it... be you?"

he murmured, his eyes burning with emotion.

The longer they spent together, the more something seemed off.

He often looked at her in a daze, as though he could see something through her.

"Please don't leave me again."

Though he had wanted to kill her, now he couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on her. All he wanted was to be her "dog."

Shen Nian wondered if he'd suddenly lost his mind and changed his ways. Terrified, she wanted nothing more than to run away.

Until one day, he cornered her against a wall and held her tightly in his arms, his eyes brimming with hurt and resentment. "Big sister, why did you sneak off again?"

Big sister!!!

Shen Nian's mind went blank. She almost suffocated in his arms.

She hurriedly shoved him away. "Don't call me that. I've never even met you!"

Did she truly not know him... or had she forgotten?

He gazed quietly at her flushed eyes, with only one thought in his mind.

Shen Nian felt creeped out by his stare. "You... what are you trying to do?"

He curved his lips. "I want to kiss you."

*Reading Guide:

1. Not a replacement romance. The female lead is the only one throughout, and there is no blood relation.

2. A mix of sweet and angsty, with lighthearted daily life as well as a fateful storyline that will break your heart.

3. The female lead is clearheaded and independent, not love-brained. No plotlines that insult women.

4. The plot-to-romance ratio is 60:40, perhaps 70:30. The leads start as bickering enemies who sabotage each other, then join forces to solve the mystery. The couple is sweetest when they're together.

5. There are chapters in reserve. The story will absolutely not end badly or leave things unresolved.
