So Many Dads!

[Coming soon: "The Little One's Sword [Everyone's Favorite]". Synopsis below.] [Synopsis] Mian Ling was originally a baby demon god from a magical world, surviving by absorbing dark power. But not long after she was weaned, she transmigrated to the Cultivation Realm. Dark power was scarce in the Cultivation Realm, so she... Was born as the Sword God's daughter, only to die young. Was born as the Medicine Venerable's daughter, only to die young. Was born as a mortal's daughter and sacrificed to the Demon Venerable. She thought she wouldn't live long this time either, but when Mian Ling saw the Demon Venerable, her heart raced and her eyes lit up. What a feast of dark power! It must taste delicious. So she climbed onto him and took a bite out of his face. - The Demon Venerable had no idea how to deal with a child. If he locked the little one in the punishment room until she cried, surely she wouldn't do it again. ...Wait, why was she sleeping so soundly in the punishment room, drooling over the palace's guardian demon beast?! The Demon Venerable's face darkened. He rushed over in a single stride and... tucked her in. - Just as Mian Ling was enjoying her carefree life in the Demon Realm, she happened to hear that after losing her, her former fathers had both changed completely. The Sword God missed his daughter so badly that he frantically searched for an heir to console himself. Every disciple had to pay their respects to her statue each day. The Medicine Venerable hated himself for failing to save her. He shut himself away for years, refusing to treat anyone as he devoted himself to researching a way to bring her back to life. Mian Ling realized she had to go find her fathers. - Several years later, a protector from the Demon Palace reported that powerful cultivators from the Cultivation Realm had gathered at the border. The Demon Venerable quietly closed the door to Mian Ling's room, where she was still resting, then turned around, his presence brimming with authority. "It's only a war. What has the Demon Realm to fear?!" The demons surged out to meet their enemies, only to see the great cultivators holding up a banner. The same words were repeated over and over: "Heartless Demon Realm, return the girl you stole! Give us back our daughter and all our hard work!" #TooManyFathersToCompeteWith# #JointBoycottOfTheDemonRealm'sKidnappingOfGirls# [Reader's Guide] 1. The female lead only stays in the Demon Palace for half a year before leaving. A large part of the story is about her being with her family. Romance comes much later, when she's grown up (much, much later). 2. The Demon Venerable isn't her father and doesn't raise her. He's arrogant and domineering, but a classic example of falling hard after denying it. He's the male lead and also the backup food supply (not really). 3. My take on cultivation.

They didn't know where she came from. They only knew that the secret realm's treasure they'd searched for days to find, the peerless sword everyone coveted... had been claimed by this little girl. Everyone thought: If they couldn't take the sword, they could just kidnap the little one who'd tamed it. - Yinyin was brought to the Immovable Sword Mountain for reasons she couldn't understand and became the Sword Venerable's disciple. From then on, she was showered with affection. Her beautiful master said she was born with a sword bone, a true successor to the Sword Venerable. Her senior brothers and sisters said she held a divine weapon and was destined to wipe out evil. She didn't get it. Her sword was about to drive her crazy. - Yinyin's sword could pierce mountains and reach the sun, but its personality was impossible to figure out. When she wanted to cuddle it to sleep, it split her bed in two. When she wanted to focus on cultivation, it kept tapping her on the head. When her master lectured her, it got into a fight with him... When she was cornered and surrounded by danger, she finally heard the sword speak. "Close your eyes. Leave it to me." Inside the sword, Yinyin stared in shock at the bewitching, peerlessly handsome sword spirit dressed in black. Could it be... that the world-ending demon lord she'd been told she had to kill one day looked just like this? - Theme: There's always a path to growth that's right for you.
