Yue Rongrong took the blame for everything on behalf of Xu Qingrang’s beloved.
Xu Qingrang shielded his beloved behind him. "Rongrong, I'm sorry. Senior Sister will die."
"But I’ll die too."
"I’ll protect you."
Yue Rongrong smiled and took a fatal sword strike for him. He did everything in his power to save her.
But she took his life-bound sword and plunged it into her own chest. As she lay dying, she left him with just one sentence.
Everyone knew that the new Demon Lord loved an ordinary girl so deeply that he severed his path to immortality and became a demon overnight.
No one knew that what he regretted most for the rest of his life was failing to hear what she had said.

The divine attendant knew that the noble, pure Moon Goddess had secretly made an account to amuse herself in the mortal realm.
Unable to resist, he asked her what the human world was like.
The Moon Goddess, usually aloof and distant in front of others, covered her mouth and laughed. She laughed so loudly.
*
After becoming the Demon Lord, Xu Qingrang learned the truth and fought his way to the divine palace.
In the palace, the Moon Goddess shone like the sun, moon, and stars. Her gaze was cold and noble, rejecting all worldly dust. She descended from her divine throne, her ethereal, detached voice ringing out.
"Why have you trespassed in the divine palace?"
"To blaspheme against the divine."
Later, the Moon Goddess snapped the newly crowned Demon Lord’s sword and trampled him underfoot.
"A mere Demon Lord thinks he’s worthy?"

After being kicked out of bed for what must have been the umpteenth time, Xu Qingrang pressed Yue Rongrong: "What was that sentence you said back then?"
In a hurry to deal with her affairs, Yue Rongrong got dressed as she headed for the door. "I'm in a hurry."
"I’m asking what you said that day."
"I said what I said. I’m in a hurry."
Content warnings:
1. Both leads are virgins, one-to-one romance, strong female lead
2. The heroine’s original body looks aloof and loves putting on airs, but she’s a lunatic inside who does whatever she pleases
3. The male lead is levelheaded at first, straightforward and a jerk; later he becomes devoted and humble before the heroine. He has no romantic feelings for his beloved; this will be explained in the story
4. The heroine once liked someone else, but her feelings faded long ago
