Hiding Demons

There are plenty of rumors about Miss Lin.

Some say she's achieved such a high level of cultivation at a young age only because she followed an evil path.

Others say the sword she carries became a demon, and that she made some sort of shameful bargain with it.

Then, just as she is about to marry into a prestigious cultivation sect, the evil spirit in her sword appears and looks at her coldly.

"You've already made a pact with me. You're not allowed to marry anyone else."

Lin Chuan says, "My marriage has nothing to do with you. Don't stick your nose into everything."

The sword spirit pins her against a wall, looks down at her, and smiles.

"Say that again?"

Lin Chuan thinks for a moment, then says, "He's young and accomplished, and he's the leader of a sect. What about you?"

The sword spirit says, "Who says I'm inferior to him? A million ghost soldiers are mine. Wife, why don't you come home with me and see?"

Her frail senior brother, whose love interest is being stolen, coughs. "You want to take her from me? Then let him try."

She only wanted to focus on cultivating immortality, but then she discovers that her senior brother isn't as innocent as he appears.

And her sword spirit doesn't seem... so simple either.

Xiao Lan, who has half-demon blood, has been treated as an outcast since birth and endured her fellow disciples' constant rejection.

When she was seventeen, her sect was defeated by the demonic cult. As cannon fodder, she died without surprise.

After being reborn, she decides to live differently: follow her heart and stop compromising, even if that means being seen as a villain.

When her master refuses to teach her martial arts, she digs out demon cores and eats them.

When her master's wife suspects her of colluding with the enemy, she simply goes off with the demon lord.

Everyone in the sect says, "Of course she's a demon. They're born rebellious. We should have killed her with one sword long ago."

The demon lord says, "You don't treasure your own disciple, and now you won't let someone else take her in and cherish her?"

The demon lord's moods are unpredictable, and he often teases her. But Xiao Lan thinks being with him is much better than life in the sect.

She believes this life will go on forever, but forgets that her half-demon blood is bound to awaken one day.

And after it awakens, her path to turning her life around will only just begin.
