The Immortal Lord Can't Possibly Be This Obedient

My ongoing series, After the Great Demon Lord Kidnapped Me to His Demon Palace, is also a sweet little treat. Please add it to your collection, duckies ovo. The blurb is at the very bottom~

Blurb:

Sunny little fox spirit x gloomy boy

Zhu Wuyou is the big shot in Yongning Village. One day, she brought home a boy she found and took him on as her underling.

The boy was not only handsome, but incredibly capable, too.

While everyone praised her for having such an obedient underling, she stepped into the deadly trap he had prepared for her. Only then did she realize that beneath his gentle smile lay an endless chill. He was cruel, cold-blooded, and even wanted to overstep his station!

Mini-scene:

The boy remembered everything. He had once been an immortal in the heavens, walking alone for a thousand years. He would never have clung to a girl and acted spoiled like he did now.

He let go of Zhu Wuyou, his voice cool and distant. "I think we should keep our distance."

"Oh." Zhu Wuyou let go of him without hesitation.

But the boy was thrown into confusion. An overwhelming sense of loss engulfed him, and, as if possessed, he reached out and slowly drew her into his arms. "Could you pretend I never said that?"

Pride and aloofness, a tranquil heart and few desires? He wanted none of it anymore!

P.S.:

1. Happy ending, one-on-one pairing.

2. Lots of creative liberties. Don't overanalyze.

3. Yongning Xiaobai has always been the same soul. Reincarnation doesn't make him a different person. He's always been him.

[Blurb] After the Great Demon Lord Kidnapped Me to His Demon Palace

A survival-minded, snarky heroine x a world-weary demon lord

Hua Suming is a sword cultivator with no talent for cultivation. While all her fellow disciples can fly on their swords, she has to get around on two legs.

Though she belongs to the top sect in the cultivation world, her wish is simple: to stay alive.

That wish reaches its peak after she meets the Demon Lord Baili Yue.

She and her fellow disciples set out to defeat the demons, only to run into Baili Yue by terrible luck. Her companions push her forward to stall him while they teleport back to their sect.

Hua Suming crashes into the demon lord's arms. He looks at her coldly, but she doesn't even blink before dropping to her knees and begging for mercy.

"Spare my life, Demon Lord!"

-

The most important step to surviving: admit defeat fast.

What Hua Suming says out loud: Spare my life, Demon Lord!

What she really thinks: This demon lord is nuts.

Years later, Hua Suming looks at Baili Yue sleeping beside her, touches the kiss marks someone left on her neck, and marvels: I can't believe I'm still alive.

Theme: When one person heals another, they are healing themselves, too.
