After I Picked Up the Demon Lord, I Started Living the Good Life

Please follow the author and add the upcoming story to your reading list. Synopsis below.

Shen Yuli accidentally transmigrated to the cultivation world and became an elder dressed in men's clothes.

She was ready to focus on cultivation and keep improving, but the System dropped a wok and a huge iron spoon on her head.

"You're a supporting male character who's just a tool. The war between the immortals and demons is about to begin. You must support the chosen heroine, defeat the Demon Lord, and save the world."

Hoping to enjoy a life of luxury alongside the heroine, Shen Yuli crouched at the foot of the mountain, always ready to play the hero and save a beauty.

Sure enough, one day she met an unparalleled beauty: fair-skinned, gorgeous, and long-legged, coughing up blood, brave despite her injuries, and on the brink of death.

Beautiful, powerful, tragic!

It's her! It's her! It has to be her!

Shen Yuli affectionately took the beauty's hand and fed her a cheap spirit fruit she'd picked up along the way. "Dear sister, fate brought us together. From now on, you'll be my greatest ally. I mean... my sworn sister!"

During the war between the immortals and demons, the Demon Lord seemed to have cheat codes, slaughtering the righteous forces and driving them back at every turn.

Knowing that there's no need to fear running out of firewood as long as the green hills remain, Shen Yuli hoisted the "heroine" onto her back and fled for her life, protecting her closely as they shared a bed along the way.

She never imagined that after they escaped through the water, her beautiful little sister would reveal a solid chest and a six-pack, and...?

Shen Yuli: "????????"

The "beautiful little sister" glanced back and smiled, his voice gently seductive. "Even the Bodhisattva can have a male body and a female appearance. Why be so concerned about my sex, Sister?"

Wait, even if Shen Yuli didn't care about his sex...

How was she supposed to ignore the Demon Lord's mark on his forehead?!

A talkative, goofy little-sun heroine who seems useless but isn't X a beautiful, powerful, tragic, secretly ruthless and unhinged hero

1v1 + both are virgins

1. A goofy comedy. The heroine isn't useless.

2. No one in the story will be more beautiful than the hero. His beauty and cultivation are both top-tier, but he's weakened early on and can't slaughter his way through everything... He'll fight monsters and grow alongside the heroine.

The author's upcoming story: Killed for My Husband's Ascension, I Became Everyone's Favorite

Mu Hua was the female supporting character and master to the male lead of a classic power-progression novel. Yes, the sort of master belonging to a male lead who cultivates the ruthless path and levels up.

She was useless and hopelessly lovestruck. She could have benefited from her disciple's success, but instead she insisted on defying fate and starting an earth-shattering romance between master and disciple.

She lived and died for him, banged her head against walls for him, and even gave him her only lifebound heart lotus to help him cultivate.

Everyone urged her to stop deluding herself and despised her for being so presumptuous. She didn't care, believing she could win the heart of the man she loved. But just when he was one step away from reaching the Great Dao, he chose to kill his wife to prove his Dao.

A century of devotion, rewarded with such an end.

That sword thrust her back to the beginning.

Reborn in a new life, she took a hard look at her mistakes and resolved to give up on love. A master-disciple romance was far too unreliable.

But then she thought that growing old alone would be rather lonely, so she changed her mind and decided to raise good disciples who could look after her in her old age.

Starting over with a new account (finding someone to raise), the more the merrier. She took four more disciples.

But she never expected that all four would be male leads with their own plots, and that... none of them seemed particularly interested in respecting their master?!

Second disciple (the world-destroying, lovesick and obsessive Demon Lord hero): "Master is the one and only tender spot in my heart. I'll make myself her cage and keep her with me for the rest of her life."

Third disciple (the overbearing young master of the demon clan, a cultivation-world tycoon): "Master, the Wang family, your enemy, has been destroyed. I also bought you several spirit veins."

Fourth disciple (a childhood sweetheart and male lead in a son-in-law story about a broken engagement): "So what if she has renounced love and broken off our engagement? I can stay by her side and marry into her family as her disciple."

Fifth disciple (the smutty male lead from a Beguiling Blossom story, from a sect that cultivates pleasure): "Master, [censored]."

*

Later, Mu Hua's former husband, the male lead of a power-progression novel who had killed his wife to prove his Dao, rode his sword across the Bohai Sea and risked his life crossing the bottomless ravine. Leaving behind the people of the cultivation world, who wept until the sky turned dark, he broke with his ruthless path and resolutely changed his cultivation. He did all this just to personally offer her a vow stone, the token used to propose marriage.

After changing his cultivation, before he could say a word, four blades, spears, swords, and halberds barred his way.

Amid the clash of blades and swords, on the brink of life and death, only one thought filled his heart:

"To see Mu Hua smile again."

#The first thing I did after being reborn was give up on love

#They once hated me to the extreme, so why do they regret it until their hearts break?

1v1 + everyone's favorite + dramatic tropes + no cheating; not a harem, with one male lead.

Theme: Wherever you are, strive bravely and keep looking on the bright side
