Days Spent Undercover Beside the Demon Lord

Zhou Lanting transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder character in a feel-good cultivation novel.

The cannon fodder is a gifted young cultivator, sent by his sect to infiltrate the demon realm. In the end, the cruel and ruthless Demon Venerable discovers his identity, and he dies without a whole corpse.

To stay alive, Zhou Lanting decides to act cute, curry favor, and serve the Demon Venerable, hoping that when his cover is eventually blown, the man might spare his life.

And so...

When the Demon Venerable fights the righteous cultivators, Zhou Lanting cheers him on from behind, waving a flag: “Long live Your Eminence!”

When the Demon Venerable wants a thousand-year-old mermaid pearl, Zhou Lanting ventures alone into the wilderness. After searching for three months, he presents the treasure: “Your Eminence, please enjoy.”

When the Demon Venerable is ambushed by the protagonist, Zhou Lanting jumps in front of the sword without a second thought: “Your Eminence, look out!”

“Lanting.” The bloodthirsty Demon Venerable’s eyes turn red.

While recovering from his injuries, Zhou Lanting thinks this might be the perfect chance to fake his death and escape. And then...

Red candles fill the hall, and the bed curtains are warm and inviting.

Zhou Lanting: “???”

His sect sent him to be a spy, but somehow he’s become the Demon Venerable’s beloved concubine?

Zhou Lanting clutches his conscience and flees in the middle of the night.

When the Demon Venerable, his eyes stained red with blood, catches him, Zhou Lanting says gravely and sorrowfully, “I’m sorry. I’m a spy.”

The Demon Venerable coldly cuts off his tragic performance. “Try running again.”

I won’t run again, I won’t! I can’t even get out of bed anymore, so how could I run...

Theme: Silly, sweet romance.
