Qin Fan transmigrates into a righteous cultivator who has gone undercover in a demonic cult in a xianxia novel, the kind who ends up dying a miserable death as cannon fodder.
At this point, the villainous Demon Lord, whose whereabouts are always uncertain and whose power is unfathomable, is planning to purge the cult and torture the traitors to death.
To completely clear herself of suspicion, she has to become the Demon Lord's most trusted henchman as soon as possible.
So she follows the original story:
When the Demon Lord needs a demon dragon pearl to heal his injuries, she volunteers on the spot to slay the dragon. Even covered in wounds, she carries the pearl back to the throne.
When the Demon Lord plans to settle accounts with the Demon King, she fearlessly charges ahead of the army and braves every danger to seize the Demon King's seal and offer it to him.
When the Demon Lord takes a fancy to the righteous sects' greatest beauty, she immediately helps him charm her until the woman comes willingly to the demonic realm.
In the end, Qin Fan, who only wanted to finish her undercover mission quickly, works so hard in her haste that she becomes the cult's second protector and even earns an audience with the Demon Lord, who never shows his face in public.
*
Her days in hiding are full of danger, but fortunately, Qin Fan isn't the only righteous cultivator undercover.
After helping another undercover operative who was in the same boat, she forms a deep friendship with him. They understand, cherish, and help each other.
Until one day, she sees the Demon Lord's true face. Can someone tell her why the Demon Lord looks exactly like the fellow operative who was giving her advice just last night?!!!
*
In the great hall, Qin Fan keeps her head bowed, not daring to look at the Demon Lord rumored to gouge out people's eyes for so much as a servant's glance.
To her surprise, a cool, refreshing presence suddenly envelops her. He chuckles softly in her ear:
"It seems being second-in-command isn't enough for you. You're always thinking about leaving. How about I give you a different position, my lady?"
