The Great Demon Lord Is Reborn

After being reborn, Qi Manyue, once a great demon whom everyone wanted dead, discovers that the cultivation world she joined forces with to uphold the righteous path has fallen under the control of a new great demon. The new great demon is even crazier and more deranged than she was. Every month, he picks a sect to torment. The cultivation world is in misery, and some people have even tried to summon her soul, hoping to fight violence with violence. They use a soul pact to threaten and entice her, begging her to destroy the new great demon. Otherwise, she will dissipate again within a year, with no chance of reincarnation. Qi Manyue was born a demon and once reigned undefeated throughout the cultivation world. If she hadn't fallen for their treacherous plot while protecting her people, she would never have been nailed to the Execution Immortal Platform by those useless cultivators. Staying alive is the only way to rise again, so Qi Manyue accepts their offer, infiltrates the Demon Palace, and takes back the throne of the Demon Lord. To her surprise, the new great demon was once such a low-ranking underling that she didn't even know his name. She takes the Demon Palace without lifting a finger. The new demon, reputed to be brutal and merciless, waits on her hand and foot, eager to give her every treasure under heaven. He willingly hands over the throne and even captures the mastermind behind the plot that once harmed her, just so she can have her fun. Isn't he much more generous than those useless cultivators? More importantly, he keeps the demon clan in perfect order, and the people adore him. After observing him for a while, Qi Manyue decides this new Demon King seems pretty good: mild-mannered, obedient, and devoted to his work. He would make a perfect successor. So Qi Manyue unilaterally breaks their pact and disappears. It doesn't matter if she vanishes. She's already dead, and if she can live one more year and see her realm and people safe, she can finally rest. When the year is up, Qi Manyue waits for the soul pact to take her away and make her disappear. But the new demon, usually so obedient and courteous, kneels before her with a dagger, begging her to kill him. Please, stay. Please, don't go. Qi Manyue sees tears in his eyes. Tsk. He seems to have a crush on me. A powerful but oblivious straight female great demon x a humble, loyal new great demon Theme: Letting go.
