Qin Li is the quintessential heroine of an old-school xianxia novel: proud and unyielding, she talks back to heaven and earth alike, and draws her sword to cut down anyone who displeases her. After coming of age and breaking through her cultivation bottleneck, she descends the mountain and takes only seven years to subdue the entire cultivation world.
After successfully flattening the cultivation world, she turns her attention to the demon realm.
She fights the Demon Lord for three days and three nights. Dark incantations dance with the Flower of Pantuo, while Nirvana flames and three-foot swordlight blaze. In the end, they perish together.
Qin Li's last words are: "Not a bad opponent. I like you."
The Demon Lord's last words are: "Damn it, I ran into a lunatic."
*
A hundred years later, Qin Li and the Demon Lord come back to life at the same time. They open their eyes and stare at each other in confusion.
"Who are you? Why are we sleeping together?"
They climb out of the grave and look back, only to discover it's a shared tomb for a married couple.
Qin Li scratches her head. "...Sorry, I forgot. We got married, didn't we?"
The Demon Lord, Qiuming, clenches his fist and gives a little cough. "It's fine, it's fine. I forgot you were my wife, too."
Well... Even years later, after they have a little one who is neither male nor female, neither human nor demon, and whose species is a mystery, they still haven't figured out who was cruel enough to bury their bodies together after they perished.
"A love story where they start dating because they think they're married, then actually end up married: a marriage-first, love-later story."
Coming soon: [Senior Sister Is No Killer]
Wen Wan is as gentle as her name suggests, as graceful as jade, and the senior sister of the Seven Killings Sect.
As someone who transmigrated, she hates fighting and killing more than anything. All she wants is to quietly sip tea and lie low until the very end.
Then she gets bound to the God of War System. The System orders her to kill Qiming, the junior disciple who has just joined the Seven Killings Sect and will one day become the Demon Lord who destroys the world.
Looking at the future Demon Lord, eyes brimming with tears, wild and broken, Wen Wan sees only a pitiful boy who has lost all hope because a passing demon cultivator casually used his entire village to fill a Ten Thousand Souls Banner. She tells him earnestly, "Forget it. I never kill people."
She teaches Qiming to let go of his hatred and protect himself, helps him fit in at the Seven Killings Sect, and gradually mellows his temper until he becomes a gentle and refined young man. He respects his elders and protects the younger disciples, becoming even more righteous than the orthodox cultivators of the Xuanqing Sect.
Until the day arrives.
The demon sect launches a massive attack on their mountain. Blood flows like a river, while nightmares and despair tighten their grip on Qiming's eyes.
He says, "Senior Sister, I promised you I'd never kill anyone. But now, if I don't become a demon, who will protect our Seven Killings Sect?"
He is about to draw the demonic sword from his chest and wipe out the demon sect. The price is that in seven years, he will burn himself up and take the whole world with him.
But the Seven Killings Sect, which loves him, and his senior sister, who has protected him all this time... will get to live seven more years. He believes it's a bargain worth making.
He has nowhere else to turn.
Just then, Wen Wan suddenly stretches out an arm to stop him. Her smile is as gentle as ever. "Shh, don't say that. Your senior sister hasn't even made her move yet."
Wen Wan draws her sword.
Its light is as gentle as moonlight.
One strike wipes out the demon sect.
The God of War System promised to make her invincible if she killed Qiming. Wen Wan is unmoved, because she is already invincible.
She knows that in this cultivation world, people turn on one another and malice is as thick as ink. But slaughter has never been salvation. What they need is gentleness and light.
Theme: Those with the power to turn the world upside down also bear the responsibility of saving it.
