I Refuse to Date the Demon King [Interstellar]

Shi Yang had hated Yan Yu ever since she was little.

As far back as she could remember, wherever Yan Yu went, she was always stuck in second place.

After finally getting into Imperial University, Shi Yang secretly applied to the mecha department without telling her parents, thinking she could at last escape the nightmare that had haunted her for years. But when she looked up, she saw Yan Yu standing at the registration desk, still haunting her.

He spun the group assignment card he'd drawn between his fingers, raised an eyebrow, and looked at her with a half-smile. “Looks like we'll be teammates in the same group for the next four years.”

Shi Yang: ...Can I still transfer to another school?

Shi Xiaocao transmigrated into a male-oriented interstellar novel, where she discovered that Yan Yu, who might become her brother-in-law, was the story's ultimate villain: a genius with antisocial personality disorder, devoted to researching how to use energy bodies to control the entire galaxy and turn everyone into his puppets.

And her haughty, aloof older sister, who thought the world of herself, was the villain's deceased first love and fiancée.

Shi Xiaocao knew she was just a lazy nobody, powerless to change the storyline. All she could do was take the roundabout approach and try to subtly change the plot through her sister.

Her plan ran into an unexpected obstacle as soon as she put it into action.

“You want me to get together with Yan Yu? Are you crazy?” Shi Yang crossed her arms over her chest, her face full of haughtiness and disbelief. “I'd date a pig before I'd go out with that arrogant, high-and-mighty jerk who thinks he's better than everyone else.”

Shi Xiaocao: ...Are you sure that description isn't about yourself?

Yan Yu realized he was different from other children when he was very young.

He couldn't feel the emotions other people felt, whether joy, sadness, fear, or worry.

To keep others from noticing there was something wrong with him, he imitated their emotional reactions, pretending to be normal.

Until he met Shi Yang.

Whenever he saw her trying her hardest to appear nonchalant while actually being petty and wanting to kill him, he couldn't help thinking... how cute.

Much later, Shi Yang became Blue Star's highest-ranking mecha commander, while Yan Yu stepped behind the scenes and happily lived off her, undaunted by everyone's contemptuous stares.

One day, Shi Yang happened to bring up the past and asked Yan Yu why he'd fallen for her.

Yan Yu propped his face in his hand and smiled innocently. “Maybe because you looked easy to bully?”

Shi Yang, who'd never been bullied in her life: ?

Proud, aloof heiress × an apparently harmless Demon King who's determined to bully his wife
