The Splendor of the Eastern Jin

The book says that love at first sight does not exist in this world. What does exist is the destiny ordained across several past lives.

"Nonsense. I just took a fancy to her..."

"What?"

"She's pretty."

Hot-blooded top who's a little dim vs. frail, scheming bottom, in both body and mind.

Happy ending, happy ending, happy ending. No angst, dual POV.

Recommended new novel: My Cannon Fodder Daoist Companion, the Villain

Bai Xiaoyuan transmigrates into a book, an old-fashioned romance novel, and becomes the future Demon Lord's master. In the original story, Bai Fuyu brings disaster upon herself by insisting on taking Xia Lantian back to her sect, where she beats and berates him in every way, then sends the villain to the Yin-Yang Spring, a place of death. Xia Lantian eventually makes a comeback and becomes the villain. The first thing he does is return to kill Bai Fuyu. One swing of his Shen Shang Sword cuts her in half, and she dies so thoroughly that even her ashes are scattered.

To save herself, Bai Xiaoyuan decides to treat the future Demon Lord like royalty. She feeds him ginseng soup, guides his hand as she teaches him to write, and presses close to teach him swordsmanship. At last, she manages to build a little affection between them, but in the end she's still controlled by the Demon Stone. She stabs the villain with a sword, then kicks the Demon Lord into the place of death... the Yin-Yang Spring.

It's over, it's over! Four years from now, the Demon Lord will surely come for her life with his huge black sword!

When they meet again four years later, the Demon Lord really does arrive with a murderous sword. Bai Fuyu assumes she's come to take her life, closes her eyes, and sighs. "Go ahead."

But the Demon Lord blushes and asks, shyly and in a faint voice, "Master, when will we... make arrangements for our marriage?"

Bai Fuyu: ???
