After years of reading sweet romance novels, Yue Chaoshen opened a cultivation novel aimed at male readers.
Then she transmigrated into the story as the villain's child: Yue Chaoshen, the young master of the Demon Clan.
The young master's status was high, but his father was a lunatic. Whenever a maid climbed into Yue Chaoshen's bed at night, she would gaze at her father with deep resentment.
He was raising a perfectly good girl as a boy, and he was such a troublemaker that he practically had “hit me” written on his face.
After thinking it over, Yue Chaoshen decided that even if her lunatic father didn't care whether he lived or died, she did.
So that very night, Yue Chaoshen put on a secret identity, went to the male lead to become his best friend, and began her plan to stay alive.
When the male lead was beaten, she stood up for him. When his aptitude proved poor, she taught him herself. When he was surrounded and pursued by demons, she burned them all to ashes with a blast of demonic fire.
Yue Chaoshen had become the male lead's living cheat code.
But there was one person she could do nothing about: Wei Qiuge, the third male lead and the male lead's archenemy.

Wei Qiuge couldn't understand how the least promising member of his clan had gotten so lucky as to have Yue Chaoshen, a human weapon, for a best friend.
He had to chew on cold steamed buns, while that clan boy held a chicken leg Yue Chaoshen had given him.
He and the clan boy fought each other and ended up equally battered, but while Wei Qiuge struggled to crawl away, the other boy was swept into Yue Chaoshen's arms and comforted in a soft voice.
Worse still, the clan boy never let him off the hook. All he had to do was say “Brother Sheng” in that feigned-sincere voice, and Yue Chaoshen would stab herself twice for him.
If you don't die in silence, you explode in silence.
During a trial in a secret realm, Wei Qiuge and Yue Chaoshen were separated from the others and ended up together.
He decided to do the deed and send the clan boy's cheat code, “Yue Chaoshen,” straight to the afterlife with a single palm strike.
But then...
Yue Chaoshen opened her bewildered eyes and asked, “Who are you? Where am I? And who am I?”
Wei Qiuge concealed his spiritual power, pinched himself until the corners of his eyes reddened, and put on a pitiful look.
“Brother Sheng...”
Wei Tingqiu: A human weapon? I'll take that!
Note: The setup is a little melodramatic, so buckle up.
Note: The male lead is a human vinegar jar, powerful yet tragic. At first, neither of them has feelings for the other. Because of the original male lead, they're enemies. They really do beat each other up.
