[A demon who seems gentle and honest but is actually a top-tier, dark, teasing type x a demon hunter who thinks she has everything under control but is really a complete novice]
When Chu Jiang was sixteen, her brother, who had been missing for nineteen years, came back on his own.
At the time, she was frantic with preparations for Lishan's recruitment competition, running around catching demons to earn experience. The news startled her so badly that she fell out of a tree, leaving her dizzy and dazed. The demon she had been staking out for two months escaped right before her eyes.
Chu Jiang was angry and resentful, but even more curious.
She had never heard that she had a missing brother, not in all her life.
She hurried home, and at her very first sight of this brother,
Chu Jiang could only think that he was as beautiful as a goddess, and looked nothing like her.
Her gossipy cousin told her that this brother had quite a reputation. At a young age, he was already one of Lishan's Six Elders, and he treated people gently. They called him Lishan's flower.
Those words made Chu Jiang's heart itch with excitement.
There wasn't much time left before the Lishan recruitment competition.
Chu Jiang agonized over it all night and decided to cling to her brother's coattails. After all, it was convenient to take advantage of a close connection.
Chu Jiang imagined that with someone as influential as Xie Wenliu behind her, getting into Lishan would be a piece of cake.
But reality is always cruel.
Chu Jiang discovered that Xie Wenliu's intentions were not pure at all.
He had come for her.
His long-ago disappearance and return to claim his family ties were all about her.
And he did not seem to be human.
Nor was he really her missing brother.
Yet somehow, she had already fallen into the web Xie Wenliu had woven.
Xie Wenliu had spent decades blending in among humans, and thought he had mastered their rules of kinship and propriety.
He picked an auspicious day and went to the Chu residence to claim a family connection, becoming Chu Jiang's brother in name.
He never expected to fall for his little sister.
Xie Wenliu has done whatever it takes to survive all his life. He is neither a good man nor a saint. He simply wants something.
To get her, have her, possess her.
So what if he is a lotus demon?
He will emerge from the mud stained by it, and become a demon in the clear waters.
Everyone calls him holy, but he insists on seducing his little sister.
Both are romantically inexperienced.
Xie Wenliu is a demon, and his thinking is sometimes different from an ordinary person's.
Chu Jiang gradually grows stronger, leveling up and fighting monsters.
Light ensemble cast, happy ending.
Romance-focused.
Premise: Love is the process of seeing yourself clearly.
