After the Darkened Young Demon Lord Set His Sights on Me

[Blurb]

The Demon Lord Wen Yun was utterly wicked and infamous. In his seventeen years of life, he had spent all seventeen committing evil. Countless corpses piled up in his wake, and rivers of blood flowed in his path.

Cultivators across the land rallied in the name of righteousness, eager to bring down the Demon Lord.

When Yu An learned she had transmigrated into this book as a nameless human maid who would be offered to the Demon Lord and killed as soon as she appeared, she completely lost it.

-

On the way to being presented to the Demon Lord, she happened upon a palanquin. Its plain white curtains were decorated with elegant patterns, making it clear that it belonged to a righteous cultivation sect.

Yu An immediately dropped to her knees and cried for help. "Great immortal, your humble servant has had a most unfortunate fate. I am to be offered to the young Demon Lord, Wen Yun. He has spent all seventeen years of his life killing, and is vicious and murderous, with countless lives on his hands. He is a heinous criminal who deserves to die. I am willing to wash your clothes, tend your horse, and serve under you, helping you defeat the Demon Lord!"

A hand lifted the palanquin's pale, flowing curtain. A black-clad youth stepped out, his dark hair reaching the ground and blood staining both his hands.

The youth raised his inky eyes. A stray lock of hair fell across his face, and his dark pupils reflected the icy snow overhead. "I am Wen Yun."

Yu An shuddered in terror, then immediately turned her kneeling bow into a full kowtow. "Demon Lord, please accept my humble bow! I beg you to see reason. Those words were put in my mouth by the dog emperor who sent me here. He told me to say whatever I had to, to whoever I met, in order to save his own skin!"

In the end, Yu An survived.

In his seventeen years, Wen Yun had killed people and slaughtered immortals. Countless souls had died by his hand, and he had never imagined that anyone would remain by his side in the end.

But when he had to offer his life to Heaven and stain the earth with blood, it was that little girl who had nearly been killed long ago who stood beside him and said, "I'll take your hand and go with you, wherever you go."
