The Daily Life of a Pure-Hearted Righteous Sword Cultivator Gradually Turning into a Creepy, Obsessive Ghost
Bai Yunxi is a fox demon. She is just one tribulation away from ascending to immortality, but through a twist of fate, she ends up the second senior sister of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
Just as she is leisurely waiting for her final tribulation, the sect takes in a new junior brother.
The young man is dressed in white, stern and impartial. The moment he sees her, he draws his blade and demands, "A demon?"
Bai Yunxi hurriedly covers his mouth and whispers timidly, "As long as you don't tell anyone, and I don't tell anyone, nobody will find out."
The young man looks coldly at the pitiful fox demon he ought to despise, but in the end, he says nothing.
Bai Yunxi knows how to read the room. She tries to ingratiate herself with him, bringing him fruit and offering all sorts of favors, though he never accepts any of them.
Then a mishap leads her to discover that her junior brother has a cultivation constitution perfectly suited for dual cultivation.
In a daze, she ends up pushing him down. His white robes are disheveled, and her mark is left on his cool, handsome face.
Bai Yunxi watches him wake up and gradually turn dark-faced. She's doomed.
Before he can make a move, she finds a chance to run.
She never expected their last meeting to come when her identity as a fox demon was exposed.
The new junior sister presents all the evidence that she is a fox demon.
The sword sect surrounds her, thousands of swords pointed at her.
Driven to the brink, she clutches her demon core, ready to destroy all her cultivation.
Then her junior brother appears before her.
As her consciousness fades, she vaguely hears people shouting:
"The Demon Lord!"
Bai Yunxi: ??? I'm doomed! Why didn't you say so sooner?
*
The new Demon Lord is ruthless and holds a grudge over the smallest slight.
In the demon realm, he grips her face and forces her to turn her head. His breath falls against her neck, cold and damp.
"Run," he says softly. "Why aren't you running this time?"
#Help! How did my pure-hearted righteous junior brother turn into this?
Reader's Guide:

[School to Workplace / Rekindled Romance]
Jiang Wan is the heiress of the Jiang family. She's an excellent student, strikingly beautiful, knows how to have fun without going overboard, and everyone likes her except her deskmate, Shen Zhili.
Her deskmate is a new transfer student. Just as his name suggests, he's a clean-cut, outstanding young man, hardworking and diligent, completely unlike those rich kids who only care about having fun.
Out of boredom, someone makes a bet on when Jiang Wan will win the transfer student over. Jiang Wan merely watches the boy's straight-backed silhouette with a lazy smile and says nothing.
But graduation comes and goes, and nobody gets to see that day. The only coincidence is that they both apply to the same university.
Everyone thinks they'll become strangers afterward, until someone catches Shen Zhili holding Jiang Wan against him in a corner at a class reunion, kissing her passionately.
Their relationship quickly becomes common knowledge among their classmates. But before long, word gets around that they parted on bad terms, and then... Jiang Wan goes abroad.
--
Several years later, Jiang Wan returns to the country.
When they meet again, Shen Zhili is no longer the struggling young man he once was. Instead, he has risen to become a rising star in the tech industry, cool, distinguished, and at the height of his success.
He seems to have forgotten the past and has gone back to being the person she remembers from when they first met.
Even when someone brings up what happened back then, he merely says, "It's been so long. I don't remember."
Jiang Wan thinks that's just as well, and agrees to the blind date her family has arranged.
But before she can even meet her date, she runs into a drunk Shen Zhili.
He catches her hand, his eyes hazy with drink, and, in a rare moment of losing control, says, "Don't go."
Before she can answer, he leans against her shoulder, his breath burning hot as he murmurs in her ear, "I'm finally good enough for you now."
Later, Jiang Wan learns that on the night they broke up, Shen Zhili stood in the snow downstairs for a long time.
And... Shen Zhili actually has a high tolerance for alcohol.
-- Please add my upcoming novel, I Became the Demon King's Master! --
Xu Nian transmigrates into the body of an unlucky supporting female character abandoned by the protagonists in the demon-ghost ravine.
At the bottom of the ravine, demons and ghosts run rampant, and she is their most delicious breakfast.
To survive, she stumbles into a forbidden area and forcibly forms a contract with a stunningly beautiful, blind man inside.
The contract is sealed, and the man has no choice but to obey her orders.
He can only protect her, do her laundry and cooking, and provide a few extra services.
Aside from the fact that those services sometimes take far too long, Xu Nian is very satisfied.
After finally escaping the ravine, Xu Nian prepares to undo the contract. Then she happens to see several demons kneeling before the man, offering advice.
"Your Majesty's powers have long since returned. Why not kill this woman?"
Xu Nian: ...I'm doomed.
She's gone and hooked a Demon King.
And this Demon King is the ultimate villain in the book, notorious for holding grudges.
She secretly undoes the contract and runs away. She hears that the Demon King has returned and is turning the world upside down as he searches for a woman.
She also hears that he loathes this woman and will tear her apart if he catches her.
She hides and runs, but in the end, he finds her anyway.
In the golden hall, the man reclines against his throne and coils his tail around her, pulling her into his arms.
His amber eyes gaze at her darkly. "My master, where do you think you're going?"
Xu Nian: !!
That's allowed?
