After Vowing Our Lives to Each Other in Secret with My Ex, the Demon Lord

[Complete]

Mu Wushuang was once the foremost spell cultivator of the righteous path.

During an unexpected turn of events while exorcising demons, Mu Wushuang woke up badly injured on a golden dragon bed surrounded by demonic energy.

...She had become the Demon Lord!

The former Demon Lord, Gui Lan, knelt with the demons, radiating an aura of violence, and proclaimed, "May the Demon Lord reign for a thousand autumns!"

Before Mu Wushuang could accept this reality, she looked down and saw a gloomy young man. She reached out and rubbed the crown of his head.

Gui Lan looked up in shock. The hostility in his eyes shattered, replaced by undisguised astonishment.

According to demonic custom, a pat on the head was an indirect way of pledging oneself for life.

Mu Wushuang withdrew her hand, completely unaware of how serious the situation was.

The people of the Demon Realm had been puzzled lately. Normally, the new Demon Lord and the former Demon Lord were always at odds, especially since the old Demon Lord, Gui Lan, was domineering, ruthless, and fiercely proud.

But Gui Lan acted as if he'd taken the wrong medicine. He silently followed Mu Wushuang around like a lackey, and even risked his life to save her when she was in danger.

The demons were speechless.

Later, the Heart Demon Protector picked out several charm cultivators for Mu Wushuang.

Gui Lan's gaze turned cold as he pressed a hand to Mu Wushuang's neck. "My old wounds are healed, and my demonic energy has returned to my meridians. If you dare use these charm cultivators, you can forget about sitting on that throne."

Mu Wushuang: "They're only a few charm cultivators..."

Gui Lan rapped his knuckles on the table and said coldly, "You've pledged yourself to me for life, so you can't have anyone else."

Reader's guide:

* A beautiful, straightforward woman who never gives up on a task x a gloomy, arrogant, puppy-like young man

* The male lead is obsessive, insecure, and a little twisted. He's good at convincing himself of things and a bit of a brat x

* The story becomes a little unfriendly to the male lead later on

Chu Zhenzhen is a mission-taker, responsible for preventing potential risks from arising in the cultivation world.

In her last cycle, she went to great lengths to prevent an immortal lord from going dark, caring for him from his youth all the way until he became a powerful cultivator.

After completing her mission, Chu Zhenzhen took on the identity of an ordinary cultivator in the cultivation world and began living a peaceful life.

However, she had barely enjoyed a few days of it before she received yet another mission.

"The cultivation world is in turmoil, and brothers are at odds. Please uphold justice and awaken the cultivators' true nature."

"Oh, right, there's also a Son of Heaven in distress out west. You might as well save him, too."

Thus spoke the Heavenly Dao.

Chu Zhenzhen: "No."

The Heavenly Dao: "He's very handsome. This time, you're allowed to seduce him."

Chu Zhenzhen sighed. "Sigh, I mostly just want to save people."

Face-loving Chu Zhenzhen hurried to save the Son of Heaven, only to find that someone had beaten her to it.

The refined, otherworldly immortal lord casually tossed the person in his hand aside, looked up at her, and smiled. "Zhenzhen, did you come looking for me?"

Chu Zhenzhen: "..."

Looking for your ass.

Put that person down! That's the Son of Heaven I'm supposed to save, damn it!

After attaining enlightenment, Ruan Liao remained in the mortal world, never ascending to immortality.

People said he stayed behind to seek fame and reputation, using his title as an immortal lord to accumulate more merit before ascending to the upper realm.

Only Ruan Liao knew he stayed because he was waiting for someone.

He had understood the secrets of Heaven long ago, and he was exceptionally skilled at divination. During the time she was by his side, Ruan Liao calculated their future countless times, and the result was always the same: she would fake her death and leave, then fall in love at first sight with another person favored by Heaven.

So Ruan Liao headed west and killed that person with a single sword strike.

But perhaps that person really did have great fortune. Zhenzhen arrived just as he was about to die and saved him.

Ruan Liao gazed deeply into Chu Zhenzhen's eyes.

"Zhenzhen, he has my sword energy in him. Until it is removed, his life will remain on the edge of a blade."

"Come with me, and I'll save him."

Looking at the blood-stained blade in the immortal lord's hand, Ruan Zhenzhen replied in a trembling voice, "All right, all right. Just don't hurt him again."

That was her mission, after all.

*

In public, Ruan Liao was a noble and virtuous immortal lord, as pure as a breeze. Only Chu Zhenzhen knew he was a madman.

That day, the immortal lord, as lovely as a branch of jade, loosely held her in his arms, his expression gentle.

Trapped beneath his oppressive aura, Chu Zhenzhen's voice trembled. "You understood the Dao long ago. Why didn't you ascend to the upper realm?"

Ruan Liao lowered his eyes, his expression gentle as he smiled.

"How could I dare dwell alone in the Ninth Heaven?"

"Zhenzhen, mortal life is long and hard. You needn't think of him anymore. Mortal love is mostly an absurd illusion."

"Let me take you with me as I ascend to immortality, all right?"

*The male lead is a white-cut-black type. The second male lead, the Son of Heaven, faces a long road of regret and groveling. More details to come.

Purpose: Sometimes unintentional acts bring unexpected rewards. Let things take their course; there's no need to force them.
