The Demon Lord Is Forced to Become a Dad

My new story, The Cold Sect Leader's Secret Lover, is now out. Come see if you like it!

The demon lord is gravely wounded and leans against a rock to heal. Who would have thought the rock would suddenly open its mouth and yawn, sending his floating golden core straight into its mouth?

The demon lord holds a knife to her throat: Give me back my golden core.

A Shu: Sure. Hork!

A tiny stone drops to the ground with a plop.

Then the little stone starts wailing.

A Shu: O_o

One day, chaos breaks out in the Demon Realm. The demon lord captures three thousand people and prepares to burn them at the Flaming Plaza.

Millions of relatives below the platform are overcome with grief, while the demon lord's smile grows more and more sinister. Just as the tension reaches its peak,

A pale hand pats him on the back, and a pretty woman steps forward: The baby won't stop crying, no matter how much I try to soothe it!

The demon lord pauses. The millions of people weeping below pause, too. Then the demon lord silently goes home to hold the baby.

The next day, the relatives start crying again, and the demon lord starts smiling again. The woman stands behind him, and before she can say a word, he goes home to hold the baby.

On the third day, the relatives are all cried out. They wait beneath the blazing sun all day, while the demon lord stays home holding the baby...

A Shu is the orphaned daughter of the former Heavenly Emperor, wandering the mortal world to escape her pursuers.

Tens of thousands of years ago, she was an carefree little princess. After schemes and plots unfolded, the laws of the gutter became unchallengeable heavenly rules, and true faith was cast down.

Tens of thousands of years later, the Heavenly Emperor sent an endless army to drive her into a corner.

Across heaven and earth, through all the seas and wilderness, there was nowhere left for her to go.

A red-eyed, red-haired young man with a red sword placed a swaddled baby in her arms. Then he stood alone before an army of thousands, shielding her behind him.

A Shu, don't worry.

I'll destroy this Heavenly Dao, and you'll still be the one and only princess.

1v1 HE, mutual healing

Down-and-out princess x lazy stone spirit x mad, manipulative, domineering yandere

The male lead is awful at first. Before he falls for the heroine, he won't treat her differently from anyone else. He's a real demon lord. He starts falling for her in the "Subdue the Demon" arc, and later he's put through intense emotional torment. The heroine falls for him late.

My new story, The Cold Sect Leader's Secret Lover, is now out!

1v1 HE / everyone loves her / many male supporting characters / only the male lead has true feelings for her / everyone has a one-sided crush / romantic rivalry showdown

Flirtatious, high-maintenance player x cold, love-struck madman

In her youth, Yu Xi was the most talented sword cultivator in the Hehuan Sect. But practicing swordsmanship in the Hehuan Sect was a bit of a strange career choice, so when she came of age, Yu Xi boldly took the first step and seduced a man.

No, to put it more accurately, she stole a man.

After kissing Yu Xi, the man stole her talent, then sealed her in the Lantong Glacier as if burying a corpse, and went home to fight his nine brothers for the throne.

Yu Xi, thawed out a thousand years later: Grr! The dragon awakens! Bring my consort back to the palace!

The man who had once been a scoundrel, now Lord of Fengdu: ?

Yu Xi: Sorry to bother you.

She quickly abandons the urge to beat him up. Back then, Yu Xi was a sword genius; now she can no longer cultivate and can only coast along on her mediocre level of power until she dies.

But is Yu Xi going to let the rest of her life amount to nothing? Of! Course! Not!

She hears that Mount Shu has a treasure that can command all the world's heroes and make its owner the emperor of the cultivation world.

Yu Xi: That's possible?

The next day, she seduces Mount Shu's young sect leader.

Huai Yi has had a pure water spirit root for two thousand years. He's a sword genius, the heir to Mount Shu, and a shining paragon of the righteous path.

But after Yu Xi deliberately gets close to him, she discovers that beneath his seemingly cold exterior, he's simplehearted and inexperienced in love. A little flirtation is enough to make him blush.

Now Yu Xi is starting to feel a bit bad about taking advantage of him.

So she lays it all out:

I'm just playing around with you. When I get bored, we'll break up. Don't get any ideas.

Huai Yi: ...

Later, they become secret lovers in every sense of the phrase.

When Huai Yi lectures his disciples, she gives him flirtatious looks. When he handles sect affairs, she intervenes. Yu Xi wants him to join her for a trial on Mount Xuan, even though no sect leader has ever descended Mount Xuan before.

The next day, all the sects look upon Mount Shu's sect leader with new respect for leading by example.

But later, the more Yu Xi watches him, the more she realizes something's off.

When a disciple confesses to her, Huai Yi points his sword at him: Get lost.

When he encounters the corrupted merman she once abandoned, Huai Yi says: Kill him.

When he runs into his own junior brother, who has feelings for her, Huai Yi looks at his exasperated junior brother, then turns to hug Yu Xi, his eyes reddening:

I'm jealous of him.

Yu Xi: ???

We agreed to part on good terms. Why won't you let go?

*

Huai Yi has been disciplined and proper since childhood. He's the most well-behaved disciple Mount Shu has ever produced under its strict rules and regulations. Even at a young age, he became as stubborn and old-fashioned as the elders, rigid in exactly the same way for decades.

Later, people say that the Buddhist-like Huai Yi has fallen from his pedestal and fallen hopelessly in love with the former Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, the "unwanted" "old woman" from a thousand years ago.

Some say Huai Yi fought his way to Fengdu for that old woman, and the Ghost Emperor was so alarmed that he called on gods from every corner to hold the fort.

But Huai Yi gambled away all his cultivation, endured the agony of having his flesh carved away, and slew every obstacle in his path. He returned the talent stolen from her years ago with his own hands.

"Xi Xi, look. None of those men treats you as well as I do."

1v1 HE, romantic rivalry showdown

Flirtatious player (unlucky version: she's got the nerve and the will to find men, but the male lead catches her every time, forcing her to stay chaste)

x

Sweet on her but secretly ruthless, cold madman (extremely conservative, believes chastity is a virtue, and strictly expects the heroine to follow his example)

Huai Yi's famous quote: If a wife changes her heart, it's because her husband couldn't keep her.

* The heroine is adored by everyone. She's older, higher in seniority, and the most beautiful. She meets the male lead from the start, and her ex-husband has very little screen time.

* Huai Yi's story arc:

The Cold Sect Leader Falls for Me / I'm the Abstinent Sect Leader's Secret Lover

Second male lead Su Xuetang: He turned dark after I abandoned the merman

Third male lead Chu Ci: The fox spirit kept himself pure for me

Fourth male lead Xie Wei: The new emperor's beloved who could never be his

Ex-husband Ning He: My "poor, devoted wife" has come back for revenge
