The Demon King's Palm-Sized Mouse

[Writing practice. Reading at your own risk, a very, very high risk.] Xu Zhier might just be the chosen mouse.

She suddenly becomes the young lady of a marquis's household, and marries a powerful sect master with influence over both the underworld and the law.

But in the human world, she'd been lazy and idle, with nothing better to do. After getting married, she is forced to stay busy.

She puts on a secret identity and battles a terrifying cat demon, using her brains (while crying) and courage (while admitting defeat).

She learns how to be a person from a fox spirit.

She also has to stay on guard at all times in case her husband makes an indecent move on her.

When her husband wants to give her a physical examination, Xu Zhier says: Some people may look like they've come of age, but they're actually minors!

Nie Ran, who's worried she might eat something bad: Did you misunderstand something?

On the day she reaches adulthood by demon standards, Xu Zhier is invited to a small forest by a dragon demon who confesses his love.

But the next moment, the great dragon is pinned under the claws of a beast that's part cat, part tiger, and reduced to a limp earthworm.

Looking at the two impressive tufts of fur on her husband's pointed ears, Xu Zhier frantically flips through her illustrated guide to demons. Is it too late to call off the wedding...?

After being reborn for several months, Nie Ran finally finds his little hamster.

But who'd have thought this silly hamster wouldn't recognize him, the demon king, and would mistake his stupid cat underling for the boss?

And she even flattens her ears at his defeated underling?

So furious he can't even be bothered to get angry, Nie Ran bares his fangs and gives her a hard kiss. "Do you remember anything now?"

Xu Zhier, so frightened that sunflower seeds fall from her mouth: Hic!
