The Godlord's Inner Demon

Gui Hua is a jade spirit nurtured by an ancient jade stone for a thousand years. Demons don’t understand love, so they toy with people and play with their feelings.

One careless move, and Gui Hua transmigrated into a book, becoming a useless little flower demon with nothing but beauty, the only one the Demon Lord had doted on for a hundred years. Everyone said he adored her and protected her like the apple of his eye.

Gui Hua: It’s all fake. Don’t fall for it!

The flower demon was a stand-in the Demon Lord had found, and before long she would die a gruesome death at the God Lord’s sword while protecting him.

The person she loved was an unfaithful, heartless cad, and the original owner was a lovesick fool...

Gui Hua’s response: It’s a challenge, but turning a scumbag into a tool is easy enough.

She brewed poison wine with love and fed it to the Demon Lord herself, slowly eating away at his reason.

To torment the scumbag, she also took advantage of the God Lord Xi Wu, who was undergoing a tribulation. She told him she loved him and promised never to leave, becoming his sole light amid countless trials and tribulations.

When both of them had fallen in love with her, Gui Hua resolutely took a sword meant for someone else and died at Xi Wu’s hand.

The mission ended, but the feelings didn’t.

She became the demoness known throughout the four seas and eight wastes.

The Demon Lord kidnapped his white moonlight and made her imitate Gui Hua’s every expression. Her childhood friend, who had once looked down on her, threw himself into cultivation after her death and had already become a demon lord in his own right.

And the once lofty, untouchable God Lord, unable to accept that she had toyed with him and left him, developed a heart demon. He used his own heart’s blood countless times to try to revive her, though she was no more than a wisp of a dead soul.

Gui Hua, forced back to work after only a few days of slacking off: I’m angry. I don’t want to talk.

God Lord Xi Wu: “You love me very much.”

Gui Hua, looking doubtful: This guy’s a lunatic, isn’t he?

Xi Wu coaxed her patiently. “We pledged our lives to each other and swore never to leave one another.”

Gui Hua, shocked: He really is a lunatic.

Even after all this, she still diligently played the part of a fool with a body but no soul...

Xi Wu’s beautiful hand brushed her cheek, his eyes dimming. “I still can’t call her soul back. What a pity to waste such a fine spiritual physique.”

Seeing that she was about to die at his hands again, Gui Hua hurriedly stopped him. “Wait, Lord God, what exactly are you doing?”

Xi Wu’s eyes lit up. “You’re willing to speak now?”

Seeing his strange yet satisfied expression, Gui Hua couldn’t help shuddering. “Are all the people in the divine realm this crazy?”

*

War God Xi Wu was powerful, aloof, emotionless, and without weaknesses. The gods feared him for it, so they conspired together to send him into reincarnation to undergo a tribulation. No one knew what he experienced during the tribulation. They only knew that the first feeling he ever had was jealousy.

From then on, she defined every one of his emotions.

A true crematorium-style pursuit, with the second male lead taking the place of the original one

Advance blurb----

[Reverse Harem Showdown, Forcible Possession, Pursuing His Wife to the Crematorium]

Huo You'an, the youngest daughter of General Huo, whose power reached across the court, was sent to a Taoist temple shortly after birth because of her frail health.

She grew up carefree at the temple until she was old enough to be married, when she was brought back to Haodu. On the night before her departure, she had a prophetic dream. She dreamed that she would marry into a powerful family and die before she turned eighteen because of her frail health and all the restrictions imposed on her.

So her first rule upon returning to Haodu was: Never get involved with anyone as a future husband. The person she most wanted to avoid was Yu Lueheng.

She wanted nothing to do with Yu Lueheng, but Yu Lueheng himself kept seeking her out.

Perhaps it was because the sight of her fighting back after someone took her knife, even pulling out her hairpin to resist, was so unlike anyone else. From then on, she left her mark on Yu Lueheng’s heart.

Everyone in Wangjing followed the rules and did everything by the book. She was the only one who was different.

Yu Lueheng fell in love with her at first sight.

But Huo You'an didn’t fall for him. The first rule of staying alive was to never marry into a powerful, aristocratic family. She said women’s fates were like porcelain: once they were fired and taken out of the kiln, they were packed in a festive red box and belonged to another family from then on.

But she shone like the morning sun. If he had met her, how could he bear to let her go? She was surrounded by wolves, and the fiercest wolf was Yu Lueheng.

When she was punished in embroidery class, he helped her sort it out.

When she won an eagle at the hunting banquet and was accused of cheating, he came forward to testify for her.

After many such incidents...

Yu Lueheng: It’s time to ask for her hand.

Huo You'an: It’s time to go back to the Taoist temple in Lijun.

Unable to resist Yu Lueheng’s schemes and forcible possession, she thought it was a love that would last a lifetime and agreed to marry him. But she had let a wolf into her home. The entire Huo family was imprisoned because of him, and he said he had asked to marry Huo You'an only for power.

He had asked for her hand, and she would break off the engagement. That was only fitting.

When they met again, Huo You'an was about to become the Crown Princess, locked away within the palace walls. Yu Lueheng was still a great general. All the absurdity of their past could be erased with the glory he had earned.

She lowered her eyes and bowed, observing all the proper etiquette, as though she had never loved him. It broke his heart.

“You’re going to the Crown Prince, aren’t you? To discuss your engagement.”

She hadn’t meant to use that to upset him. He simply couldn’t get over it, nor could he bear that she truly didn’t care at all. Given their situation, he would rather she be angry with him.

“Yes.”

“What if...” Yu Lueheng heard himself say, “I used my military achievements to ask the emperor to grant us a marriage?”

Huo You'an pointed out the absurdity of his request. The royal family’s dignity and the emperor’s decree were not to be trifled with, but she didn’t mention what she wanted.

Their fate was over, and she had already let go.

What Huo You'an never expected was that Yu Lueheng had gone mad. First, he tried to trade his life to cure her illness. Then he held a funeral and pretended to be dead to lure her into seeing him. When she came, he spouted nonsense about wanting to be her kept man.

Be her kept man???
