Even a Demoness Wants to Love You

Ning Lu was born into the Kudu Demon Sect, and is a vicious, ruthless witch in the eyes of the righteous cultivators. In stories, characters like her always meet a terrible end. And sure enough, that's exactly what happens. Ning Lu learns the fate awaiting her in a dream. The great age is about to collapse, and the fate of a little nobody is as insignificant as a grain of sand. Though she was notorious in her previous life, she had never shed blood with her own hands. When she wakes, cruel reality awaits. Ning Lu accepts who she is. If she can only become a demonic cultivator, then a demonic cultivator she will be. But she is curious: when faced with humiliation and torment, will those so-called prodigies from her dream still hold fast to their Dao hearts and remain true to themselves? Ning Lu forces them to become her demonic slaves. She says she likes them. But her affection is a lie, a torment, something she gives and withdraws at will. So when they tell her they like her, all she feels is absurdity, disgust, and a hatred so fierce they may as well be dead. Love breeds hatred, and hatred breeds fear. Ning Lu knows she is taming ferocious beasts. Their bloodthirsty nature will one day drive them to break free of their cages and turn on their master. Ning Lu doesn't care. She isn't afraid of death. She just doesn't want to live another life that's a joke. Until death truly comes. She thinks she can accept it with a smile. After all, this short life has been exciting enough. But someone charges through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, insisting on taking her away. He says he doesn't believe it. Cultivators defy the heavens in their pursuit of the Dao. They have never bowed to fate. * Ning Lu doesn't understand. She treated him so terribly. She stole his fortune, destroyed his romance, and even thought of dragging him to hell with her. He should hate her, watch coldly as she dies, then continue seeking the supreme Dao. So why, at the final moment, did he risk death to come back here? Ning Lu asks him, “Do you love me?” He says, “I can barely find time to hate you.” Because he hates her, he can't bear to watch her wither away. Because he hates her, he wants to lock her by his side so she can't harm anyone else. Because he hates her, he hopes she will find her true self. Ning Lu understands nothing. She only nods calmly, then resolutely sets off with him to escape. Compared to the insubstantial promise of love, passionate hatred feels more real. She has to live. Even if it means that they will be entangled with each other for the rest of their lives, until death. Later, Ning Lu goes to the Upper Realm. From an obscure rogue cultivator to an unparalleled prodigy who commands the heavens, she wins the submission of countless cultivators. Not even the will of heaven can stop her from ascending to immortality. In her glorious life, countless people tell her they love her, that they'd give everything for her, and pursue her with all their strength. Yet whenever she severs her ties to the mortal world, she always thinks of the person who once said he hated her. Because no matter how long he hates her, in the end, it's her heartlessness he hates. The Great Dao is heartless. Here's a coming-soon story! I'm Really Just an Evil Witch Qiu Qiu transmigrates to another world. She lives carefree for sixteen years, until she witnesses two earth-shattering, beautiful love stories. The girl next door is gentle and beautiful, with a kind heart. After her divinely favored constitution is discovered, she becomes the Holy Maiden of Light overnight and acts out a sweet yet painful love story with the God of Darkness, filled with love and hate and mutual salvation. The little princess of the Principality of Layton is beautiful, vicious, vain, and ignorant. Jealous of the Holy Maiden of Light, she pretends to be sincere and seduces the human incarnation of the God of Light, starring in a divine romance where you don't love me but I love you, and when you love me, I don't love you. Qiu Qiu suddenly understands. Oh, she's transmigrated into a book. At least this ridiculous plot has nothing to do with her. She's just an utterly ordinary passerby. Then, the next day... A knight from the Holy See of Light smashes open her door with his sword. “Wicked Blood Witch, you will die by the judgment of the Light!” Qiu Qiu's eyes tremble as she bolts for the door. Only then does she remember that in the original story, her true identity is an evil soul witch who has been hiding in the Principality of Layton under an assumed name for some reason. That doesn't matter. What matters is that her identity has been discovered. The Holy See of Light will tie her to a holy pillar and burn her alive. Her enemies in the wizarding world are doing everything they can to capture her, and the God of Darkness is secretly considering whether to exploit her. Qiu Qiu cries out in terror, “No, don't come near me!” * But more and more strange creatures come looking for her. Elves, dragons, wizards, undead skeletons... They kiss the ground at her feet, their expressions fervent as they chant strange things. “Mother of the gods, sovereign of all deities.” “From the beginning of life itself, she has been our eternal, unchanging truth.” Help! I'm not your mother goddess. I'm just an utterly ordinary evil witch! Later... Qiu Qiu obtains a Secret Identity System. ...Mystery solved. After finally making it back to the wizarding world... Qiu Qiu is close to tears. To her astonishment, the original owner she thought was incredibly powerful is actually a second-rate witch, absurdly incompetent yet always eager to cause trouble. The wizarding world pursues truth, and truth comes from knowledge. After enduring a series of torments from her soul mentor, Qiu Qiu finally gets the research life she “dreamed of” in her previous life, working her brain until she's practically bald every day. Wonderful. As for the Secret Identity System... Heh. Don't ask. It's thrilling. #What it feels like to have the Gods of Light and Darkness kneel at my feet and call me “Mother Goddess”# #It's late at night, and I'm dancing on a grave with the Abyssal Demon God# Theme: Treat others with sincerity.
