After Swapping Bodies with the Great Demon King

As the most good-for-nothing disciple of the Hehuan Sect, Gu Zhaozhao is assigned a cannon-fodder mission: infiltrate the first-ranked sect, Penglai Sect, as a spy.

Spies have never had good endings, so Gu Zhaozhao decides to laze around and do as little as possible.

All I want in life is a full belly and a good night’s sleep!

By chance, she switches souls with the sect’s most ill-tempered prodigy.

The prodigy follows the path of the blade, and his swordsmanship is fierce. Naturally, he has no liking for a lazybones like her.

But it’s fine. Once they switch back, she can return home in glory!

On the surface, Ning Jinxiao is Penglai Sect’s peerless prodigy. He knocked on the gates of immortality at three, learned the blade arts at five, pointed his blade at the Uneven Mountain at twelve, and cut off the Yellow Springs with a single strike at the Demon-Slaying Platform at fifteen.

In secret, he was born with a demonic bone, rejected by his parents and shunned by his fellow disciples, a lone star with only his blade for company.

He never liked the weak.

He hated this weak, ignorant, lazy glutton who had taken over his body.

Every day Gu Zhaozhao existed was a waste of his time.

“Drawing your blade isn’t hard. What’s hard is having the heart to sheath it afterward.” An elder once told him this when he was first learning the blade.

Back then, he was unstoppable, his killing intent plain to see. He thought there was nothing in this world worth sheathing his blade for.

The day Gu Zhaozhao left, the peach blossoms at Penglai were in full bloom. His swordsmanship had reached perfection, and he was at the height of his success. He should have been out seeing the world, destined to have everything in the future

But he felt he had lost everything.

In all his youthful dreams of blades flashing and swords clashing, he had never dreamed that he would love someone this much.

They switch bodies intermittently. The heroine grows over the course of the story, and the hero is truly temperamental.

A bittersweet romance between a young man and woman. One learns to be brave, the other learns to be gentle.

Happy ending, one-on-one.

Theme: Love can redeem them both.
