Li Wangshu, a cultivation prodigy rarely seen in a thousand years, failed his tribulation. His body turned to ash, and his soul attached itself to a tiny koi fish.

Only after receiving guidance from an expert did Li Wangshu learn that he couldn't ascend to immortality because he owed someone a karmic debt from his previous life.

To settle the debt, Li Wangshu searched everywhere, from the highest heavens to the deepest underworld.

But instead of settling the debt, he got entangled with a demon.

The demon was as beautiful as a flower and even wanted to make money to support Li Wangshu.

Li Wangshu said, "I'm too busy cultivating to deal with this."

The demon didn't give up after being rejected. Instead, he pursued Li Wangshu with ever-greater enthusiasm.

Whenever Li Wangshu took a fancy to something, the demon would say, "I'll buy it!"

If the owner refused to sell, the demon would say, "Then I'll take it!"

If the owner came to complain to Li Wangshu after being robbed, the demon would say, "Then I'll kill them!"

He'd beat up elders, curse out immortal venerables, and steal spirit treasures. If Li Wangshu so much as glanced at something, it didn't matter who it belonged to or how bad-tempered its owner was: the demon would snatch it and give it to Li Wangshu, then confess his love all over again.

Before long, the cultivation-obsessed Li Wangshu was surrounded by righteous sect leaders, reclusive masters, and demonic beasts. These powerful figures all said to him:

"Stop cultivating already and just accept that demon! We can't take it anymore!"

Bonus scene:

Jiu Yaosheng pinned Li Wangshu against the wall and asked, "What do you want? I, the sect leader, can give you anything."

Li Wangshu: "I want to become immortal."

Jiu Yaosheng: "As you wish."

Li Wangshu: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you carrying me to the bedroom? Let me go! Help, he's bullying a fish!"

Jiu Yaosheng: "I'm helping you sleep. You can have anything in your dreams!"

Li Wangshu: "..."

Coming next: (Reborn) Heroine, You've Lost Your Virtue

Only on her deathbed did the cultivation prodigy Shen Qinghe learn that she was nothing but the wicked female supporting character in a cultivation romance novel. The entire purpose of her life was to put obstacles in the heroine Xia Yiqing's way, so the male lead would feel sorry for the heroine and she could indirectly help their romance along.

Reborn, Shen Qinghe finally saw the light.

Let the male and female leads go off into the sunset with their nauseating romance. She'd focus on her career and ascend to immortality. What's not to like?

But Shen Qinghe hadn't expected that being reborn would awaken an unexpected ability in her.

She could hear the heroine Xia Yiqing's thoughts.

And hearing them wasn't enough. Shen Qinghe also had to help Xia Yiqing fulfill the wishes in her thoughts. Otherwise, those thoughts would keep circling in Shen Qinghe's mind like a curse.

Shen Qinghe: "...This is ridiculous."

Luckily, Xia Yiqing's requests were all simple.

Things like being thirsty or hungry, wanting a pretty dress, or wanting Shen Qinghe to take her as a disciple...

Shen Qinghe smiled faintly and raised an eyebrow. "That's it? That's it? That's it?"

As Shen Qinghe thought to herself that the heroine really didn't know much about the world,

she brought Xia Yiqing spirit spring water, sacred beast meat, and a flowing immortal dress, then took her on as a disciple with full-service treatment.

Shen Qinghe thought life would stay this simple forever. Then, one day, she heard Xia Yiqing's thoughts:

"My master is fair-skinned and beautiful, with a slim waist and long legs. It would be wonderful if she could [beep] with me in the bedroom, then [beep]."

(The details in brackets were censored for being too explicit.)

Shen Qinghe: "?! What happened to the heroine's innocent and adorable persona? Where's your virtue? And how am I supposed to fulfill a wish like that?!"

Bonus scene: One day, to fulfill her little disciple's wish, Shen Qinghe lightly kissed Xia Yiqing on the cheek.

Xia Yiqing's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

Seeing Xia Yiqing's shy expression, Shen Qinghe was just about to tease her disciple for being so innocent when she heard Xia Yiqing's thoughts:

"Just one kiss and that's it? Master, are you no good?"

Shen Qinghe: "!!!"

A seemingly cold and ruthless top who's actually warm and gentle × a seemingly innocent and adorable bottom who's actually a depraved lunatic

Content warning: Both female leads have a good side and a dark side, and both have flaws. Readers who prefer perfect characters may want to avoid this.
