The Demon Lord Searches Heaven and Earth for Me

Meng Yao's greatest wish was to have a healthy body and pursue the medical career she loved. After more than ten years bedridden by illness, she still eventually passed away.

When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived in another world and been thrown into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Among the bodies scattered everywhere, Yao Yao dug out a man who still had a breath left in him.

His eyes had been gouged out, his face was ruined, and all four limbs were broken. But he was tall and slender, with pale skin. It was clear he had once been a beauty.

The beauty said his name was Shi Wuwang, and that he was a demon.

Yao Yao was a little afraid, but she had sworn to save lives and heal the wounded, doing everything in her power to relieve human suffering.

So she saved him anyway.

What Yao Yao hadn't expected was that though he was frail and so badly injured he couldn't look after himself, he had quite a temper and plenty to say.

"Meng Yao, they're jealous of my unrivaled talent and handsome face, so they persecuted me like this. Once I'm out of here, I'll make them wish they were dead!"

Yao Yao said, "Sure. You're the most handsome."

Mental note: The patient may have intermittent manic episodes.

"Meng Yao, one day, everyone who hears my name will tremble in fear. All living beings under heaven will bow before me!"

Yao Yao said, "Sure. You're no lazy fish."

Mental note: Severe delusions as well.

Later, the beauty asked, "Why did you save me?"

Yao Yao said, "I swore I wouldn't leave someone to die. If you make a vow, you have to keep it for the rest of your life."

He said, "I want you to swear you'll never leave me."

Yao Yao understood. He must be afraid I'd abandon him.

"All right, I won't leave you," she thought. I won't leave you until we get out of here.

She failed to keep her promise.

Much later, everyone in the Canglan Realm knew that the newly crowned Demon Lord, Shi Wuwang, was a vengeful man. Anyone who had seen him at his lowest back then met a terrible end, and the person he hated most was a woman who had broken her promise.

Otherwise, why would he search the whole world for her?

Yao Yao trembled, thinking, He must be planning to kill me!

She could only hide herself away.

But Yao Yao was found anyway.

Dressed in red, with black hair and a slender, snow-white figure, the Demon Lord cornered her, his eyes bloodshot.

"Meng Yao, you liar!" he gritted out.

Yao Yao fearfully shut her eyes, waiting for death to come.

After a long while, she realized she was still alive.

Yao Yao thought in confusion, Why hasn't he killed me yet?

1. Sorry, I used the red-eyed trope and the cornering trope.

2. I'll add more if I think of anything.
