A Jack of All Trades, I Just Want a Peaceful Life

Yun Xiao transmigrated into a novel about a playboy heroine, a Mary Sue, and a harem of admirers. She was the vicious teacher who constantly made life difficult for the original heroine and her two friends at an alchemy school, only to be repeatedly humiliated. In the end, the heroine exposed her true nature, and she became an alchemist criminal hated by everyone. Fortunately, she arrived early. After graduating from the top alchemy school, she turned down offers from powerful figures in every field and opened a restaurant in a remote corner the original protagonists would never visit, hoping to live quietly. Then, one day, she accepted an escort mission. While lost in a small town from a different historical era, she brought back a white-haired boy who was timid and spoke so softly he could barely catch his breath. She asked around and found out he was a male supporting character from the original trio at the academy, a ruthless killer who obeyed only the heroine. Yun Xiao: This is a coincidence. After she got caught up in a murder case... A beautiful girl with a single braid and vacant eyes threw herself into her arms, sobbing loudly and asking to be adopted. She asked around and found out the girl was the original heroine, adored by everyone, clever and resourceful, and blessed with a talent for winning people over. Yun Xiao: That’s a little too much of a coincidence. After her restaurant became famous and went viral in other cities... A self-obsessed boy showed up asking to work at the restaurant. He had a full beard and looked fifty-five despite being only fifteen. She asked around and found out he was another male supporting character from the original academy trio: a boy of breathtaking beauty who had been disfigured and become gloomy and insecure. Yun Xiao: That’s a coincidence too.

This was the perfect opportunity to tempt him into falling into corruption. Yun Ziyou was one of the leading candidates to become the next Demon Lord, so she eagerly accepted the task assigned to her. She went to the town where the High Priest was recovering, disguised herself as his long-lost adopted daughter, and began her plan to tempt him into falling. But the High Priest was a saint, a genuinely good person. He took good care of Yun Ziyou, taught her advanced magic, stood up for her by punishing the school bullies, mended her torn clothes, and cooked delicious meals. He even spoke of demons without a hint of disdain, saying only that they had different allegiances... As a demon, Yun Ziyou had never experienced parental love. But the High Priest made her feel a mother’s great, generous love. She was moved, and decided to abandon her plan to corrupt him. One night, Yun Ziyou decided to slip away. But as soon as she left, she lost consciousness. When she woke, she was in a confession booth, back in her true demonic form, with her hands and feet bound. "Do you want to leave me?" The High Priest’s handsome, pure face was half bathed in moonlight and half hidden in darkness. His voice was clear and cool as a sacred spring, while the statue of the god behind him seemed to weep. Yun Ziyou honestly confessed her identity and purpose, explaining that the High Priest had changed her heart and she had decided to give up the plan. "So that’s how it is..." The High Priest smiled gently. "A good child deserves a reward for learning the truth. The Demon Castle knows I was never injured and that I don’t have an adopted daughter, yet they sent you anyway." Yun Ziyou stared at him in shock. "What?" The High Priest gently stroked Yun Ziyou’s cheek, as if bestowing a blessing on a believer. He had grown up in a filthy, corrupt temple, longing for true light. Then, on that battlefield, he finally saw a pure, dazzling light he had never seen before. The High Priest untied the bonds on Yun Ziyou’s hands and feet, and in the gentlest voice said the cruelest thing: The Demon Castle betrayed you and abandoned you. You have nowhere to go, but you... still have me. Just as he expected, she threw herself into his arms. The High Priest lowered his eyes and gently stroked the person sobbing bitterly, holding her close. He had done everything he could to make her come to him of her own accord. How could he let her go now... Theme: I choose to see the light I bring to this world.
