Blurbs are at the very bottom o3o * After Shen Motang died suddenly from overwork, he transmigrated into a book, becoming the Demon Lord who had died from overwork early on in a cultivation novel. The Demon Lord was already stone-cold, and the demonic sect's members, each with their own designs, were gleefully throwing a funeral feast. Myriad demons had gathered, and music and singing filled the air. A bolt of heavenly lightning struck the Demon Lord. Shen Motang opened his eyes and nearly jumped out of his skin at the sight before him. But after a brief standoff, the demons erupted into celebration. Countless hands held up cups of wine before him as they cried out in unison, "We welcome the Demon Lord back to his throne!" Shen Motang: ??? Do they get to force me into the job, too? * After his resurrection, the Demon Lord developed some unusual ideas. On his first day back, he drilled a string of new terms into the demonic sect's members: observe "nine to five" and "five days on, two days off," reject "996" and "007." Then, the moment the bell rang at the hour of the Rooster (5 p.m.), he abandoned his old habit of working by lamplight and vanished in a flash. The demonic sect members, still reeling from being bombarded with all these strange new terms, had no idea what was going on: ??? A long sword cut through the sky. The Sword Venerable came at the sound, ignored them completely, and rushed straight to the Demon Lord's hall. The demonic sect members chased after him, only to be stopped alongside the Sword Venerable by an invisible force three feet from their Demon Lord. They couldn't move a step closer. Meanwhile, their Demon Lord rolled over on his couch. "You should all clock out on time." Sword Venerable: ??? Demonic sect members: ??? * Zhao Wan, the foremost Sword Venerable in the cultivation world, was a workaholic. He was either slaying demons or on his way to slay demons, working all year without a break and never complaining. Yet his life was dull and lifeless, until one day, when he finally found time to visit the Demonic Sect. After that, things changed. The Sword Venerable's whole demeanor changed. Every day, he raced against the clock to get to the Demonic Sect as early as possible, all so he could have dinner with the Demon Lord. Shen Motang: What exactly are you here for? Zhao Wan fidgeted for a long time, then pulled out a Daoist partnership contract with his name already signed on it. His ears turned red. "...Personal business." Shen Motang: ???? How long have you been carrying that around? * One day, the righteous sects gathered a large group of cultivators to attack the Demonic Sect. This time, they took care to avoid the sect's strange break times. They circled the outer walls a few times but didn't see a soul. After waiting around for ages, they finally spotted the Demon Lord about to head out. Righteous cultivators: Demon, prepare to die! Demon Lord: Sorry, I'm taking the day off at short notice. The Sword Venerable followed right behind him and gently put an arm around his shoulders, though his tone was anything but friendly. "He's mine today." Righteous cultivators: ???

Come give the little leopard a poke owo * Lu Qingshuang opened his eyes and discovered that he had turned into a round, fluffy snow leopard cub. The little snow leopard was barely a month old, with beautiful, soft fur, big, thick pink paw pads, and a long, fluffy tail. Anyone who saw him would want to give him a good cuddle. But he had been abandoned in the freezing snow, his limbs already frozen stiff and unable to move. Lu Qingshuang struggled to poke his head out of the snowdrift, nearly in tears. You can't treat me like this! QAQ Then a soft cough sounded in his ears. A thin, frail figure stood in front of him, shielding him from the wind and snow, and carefully tucked him into their arms. "Don't be afraid." Lu Qingshuang stared in amazement. It took him a long moment to react, then he let out a string of frantic meows: "Meow, meow!" (B-b-beautiful person!!!) * Only later did Lu Qingshuang learn that the beautiful person who had taken him in was Rong Chu, the Immortal Lord and the dearly missed beloved who died early in the book. It was a substitute romance novel packed with melodrama. The beloved, whom the entire cultivation world adored, was caught in the open and covert battles between powerful figures. His already frail health rapidly deteriorated, and before long, he died and his spirit dissipated. Lu Qingshuang rubbed his head against the Immortal Lord's fingers, curled in pain. Beneath his peerless beauty, his body was already riddled with hidden ailments. As long as the Immortal Lord wasn't the beloved, he wouldn't have to die. He didn't want the Immortal Lord to die. So Lu Qingshuang bared his claws and teeth at everyone who came near. * Lu Qingshuang fretted and went through all kinds of trouble, but the number of people coveting the Immortal Lord never went down. At long last, he realized there was a quick and effective solution: claim the Immortal Lord for himself! Then one day, Rong Chu watched as his little snow leopard successfully took human form for the first time. The cub leaped into his arms, wrapped his tail around Rong Chu's waist, and looked up at him with damp eyes, clumsily calling, "Immortal Lord..." Rong Chu decided he was done pretending. * Rong Chu had two secrets. The first was that he had never been close to death. The second was that he could hear the voices of everything he touched.
