[Pre-release: I Was Picked Up by the Most Powerful Great Demon After the Sacrifice, below. Kisses!]
Shi Man, deputy captain of the Special Investigation Team, aka the Bane of Ghosts. The youngest-looking face, the fiercest fighter.
She's 26, but because she has the face of the nation's first love at 16, her organization has packed her off to high school as a senior for a secret mission.
Shi Man, of course, isn't happy about it. Hearing that her homeroom teacher has been on the job for less than three years, she decides to put the teacher in her place to make her mission easier later.
Then she sees her ex in the homeroom teacher's office.
...The ex she'd dumped with a one-sided text message three years ago.
The aloof beauty in a suit pushes up her gold-rimmed glasses and asks with a cool smile, "The new transfer student is called... Shi Man, right?"
Shi Man: "..."
She wanted to put her in her place, but is it too late to get down on her knees?
*
Kong Zhiwan and Shi Man were together for two years. Just as Kong Zhiwan was preparing to propose, Shi Man sent a text saying they were breaking up, dumped her without explanation, and vanished from the face of the earth.
When they meet again, Shi Man is in a school uniform, openly passing herself off as her "student."
Kong Zhiwan: "...Very good."
With old and new grievances to settle, she decides to put Shi Man in her place.
So the tall, aloof beauty corners the innocent girl by the desk, leans close, and orders her, "Call me Teacher."
*
For the mission, Shi Man grits her teeth and plays the obedient student, hoping her homeroom teacher will cut her some slack. But things don't go as planned.
Whether she's late, making up homework, skimping on lunch, gathering intel, tailing a target, or brawling with monsters, no matter where Shi Man goes on the enormous campus, she always "runs into" Kong Zhiwan. She's like a ghost that won't leave her alone.
Even after becoming campus belle for the second time, when a boy asks her to meet him in the woods to confess his feelings, Kong Zhiwan just happens to be nearby feeding cats. She coldly drags Shi Man away and spends the whole afternoon reprimanding her in the office: "No dating in high school."
...The nerve of her, acting like they never used to sneak kisses to avoid their teachers!
"...Such a hypocrite," Shi Man mutters through gritted teeth.
*
At last, the mission is over, and Shi Man cheerfully says goodbye to the stupid obedient-student act and her ex.
Just then, the team hires a highly paid consultant. Word is that she's a treat for the eyes, remarkably capable, and exactly Shi Man's type.
Shi Man is back in action. She pulls open the door to the Special Investigation Team's office...
Kong Zhiwan is leaning casually against her desk, smiling with cool indifference. "Good afternoon."
Shi Man shuts the door without changing her expression.
She must still be dreaming :)
Otherwise, why would her ex be here reporting for duty?
But when she remembers the "humiliation" she suffered at school, she grinds her molars and opens the door again, smiling coolly and flirtatiously. "Call me Captain."

[Pre-release] I Was Picked Up by the Most Powerful Great Demon After the Sacrifice
Lu Wancheng died.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Lu family of Yaolin, a family of immortals. Bright and well-mannered from an early age, steady and sensible, she wasn't even fifteen yet, but was more considerate than the adult children of other families.
She was beyond reproach.
Unfortunately, mediocre talent was the original sin of an immortal family. Her parents still didn't love her, her siblings looked down on her, and even the servants paid her no heed.
She always thought she wasn't good enough.
So she worked a hundred, a thousand times harder than everyone else, just to earn even a single word of praise.
It wasn't until they forced her into a red wedding dress and shut her in a coffin to lie beside a corpse, burying her alive, that she understood. The only purpose of her life was to be a stand-in sacrifice in her younger sister's ghost marriage, taking the fatal calamity meant for the Lu family's chosen daughter.
Lu Wancheng woke on the road to the underworld. Gazing out at the gloomy path of ghosts beyond the bridal sedan, she felt the urge to rebel for the first time.
So she rasped to the ghost groom carrying the sedan, "...You've got the wrong person."
At the end of the Yellow Springs lies Youdu Mountain, home to a reclusive, thousand-year-old great demon: an eight-tailed black fox, the true strongest being in this world.
Even the King of Hell has to ask permission before entering.
Since Youdu Mountain is entirely black, she is revered as Lady Qing.
Rumor has it that Lady Qing has blood on her hands and a volatile temper. Fortunately, she now lives in seclusion on the ghost mountain and takes no interest in worldly affairs.
Everyone naturally avoids disturbing her and hopes she'll never leave the mountain.
Until a bridal sedan accidentally trespasses onto Youdu Mountain.
The dignified, noble great demon lifts the sedan's curtain and sees a little girl huddled awkwardly in her wedding dress, her soul nearly scattered.
She reaches out to toss the insolent little thing away, only for the girl to crash straight into her arms.
Her subordinate is so startled that he instantly draws his sword and shouts, "Don't be rude! Let go of Madam!"
Eyes closed, the little thing clings to her like an octopus. She catches only two words and murmurs them back: "...Madam."
The great demon raises an eyebrow.
Amid immortal clan rivalries, rampaging demons and ghosts, and turbulent times, a capricious "Ghost Blade" suddenly appears.
She has no equal among the immortals above, and below, the ghosts of the underworld follow her. She doesn't take anyone seriously.
Even the Immortal Saint and the Demon Emperor, who have been enemies for a thousand years, call her crazy in unison. The King of Hell says outright that he never wants to see her again.
Every faction is wary of her, yet eager to win her over, and they all make enticing offers.
The Lu family of Yaolin even comes in person with their beloved daughter, bringing countless treasures and spiritual artifacts, hoping to adopt her as their daughter.
Lu Wancheng toys with a phoenix pearl she'd only been able to envy as a child, then looks at the Lu family's bewildered faces, feeling deeply bored.
She casually tosses it out the window and says nonchalantly, "That won't do... My Madam will get angry."
"Please remember: there is no longer any legitimate daughter of the Lu family of Yaolin. The person standing before you is now the young mistress of Youdu in the Yellow Springs."
Someone has already made up for all the hopes, sorrows, and unfulfilled desires she once had.
The great demon has come out of seclusion specially to stand up for her. Leading thousands upon thousands of demons and ghosts from behind the scenes, she smiles.
The little one has certainly grown up.
She can't help feeling a little wistful. When the child was young, she fearlessly clung to her great tail and called her "Sister Fox" in a clear, sweet voice.
The older she gets, the less affectionate she is. Now she only calls her "Madam."
And she won't let anyone else call her that.
...Is this what they call a rebellious phase?
■Growing-up romance, younger partner, equally matched leads, mutual healing, one-on-one romance, happy ending
Theme: Face danger without fear and seek the truth
Many places have come full circle, it's a very good story, every turn is not abrupt, and everyone has their own life. Apart from the fact that this hydra is really wicked, it feels very sorry for most people. It feels like a different world at the beginning, which is good. They all have their own cause and effect. Bodhisattvas are afraid of causes, so they miss an unforgettable encounter. Living beings are afraid of consequences, but they can also try their best to change their endings. The bluestone road is long, and Nirvana should be known too late. The story is over, but life is not. After the fire, a peaceful life is even more valuable.
Damn 😭 Have you still written the advance receipt? 😭 I've been waiting for a long time
They love each other so much, not only because of the general and the Virgin, but also because of Kong Zhiwan and Shi Man themselves.
Come back? I've been waiting for you for three years
A great article that deserves better data (those who haven't read it are in trouble. Jpg)
Very good, I haven't seen such a piece of writing that requires a lot of thinking in a long time. It fills in the pits well and likes it (*σ??`)σ
The author has opened a new account. Hurry up and start writing. I really like your writing.
Why don't you open pre-payment yet? I'm going to make a fuss, I'm going to make a fuss, I'm starting to make a fuss, I'm already making a fuss, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
When will the author's next book be released? It's not enough to read.
