● Please add my upcoming novel next door, A Record of Surviving in the Demon Palace, to your reading list. Premise:

After transmigrating into the Demon Palace for hundreds of years, Zou Tingyue relied on her survival instincts to stay alive. She went from a timid, lowly little pet to the respected "Revered Envoy of Flowing Moon."

She wore the finest clothes and lived in the largest, most magnificent palace.

Thousands of palace maids were at her command.

Mountains of treasures were hers for the taking.

Aside from having to deal carefully with the demon who might go mad at any moment, she was doing rather well for herself.

Until one day, after she had just calmed the demon down from another bout of madness, he gazed at her pensively and asked, "How would you feel about me making you my consort?"

*

Demon Lord Xiao Hengye had set foot in the Netherworld and ascended to the Celestial Realm eight hundred years ago. Since then, all three realms had cowered beneath his feet.

He had spent the centuries that followed bored out of his mind.

Then one day, he seized from his sworn enemy a secret manual capable of overturning the three realms.

He scoffed and casually opened it, only to freeze in surprise.

At the same time, an unfamiliar voice rang in his mind: "Ding! The 'Overbearing Demon Lord's Spoiling' instance has been activated! Story quest: Earn the title of the Three Realms' Doomed Lovers!"

The cold and loveless Demon Lord himself: "..."

One-line summary: From adorable pet to pampered consort

Blurb:

A year ago, Lingshu picked up a strange husband. He was strikingly handsome, spoke with uncommon elegance, and often said things no one else could understand.

He could see through the demon possessing the old woman at a glance.

He alone could read the spiritual script carved into the immortal stele.

Though there was never any firewood in the kitchen, she never went hungry. The hens in the yard would occasionally lay a couple of gold ingots, enough to keep them going for a whole year.

The villagers all said he was an immortal god reborn, but he would nestle in her arms and laugh softly. "An immortal god? What a pity."

*

It was only when the Pillar of Heaven collapsed and the sky shattered, and she stepped from one world into another, that she learned the cruel truth: everything that came before had been a lie.

There were no villagers, no village. It had all been an illusion.

And the husband who was supposed to be dead was riding a three-headed bird, a purple-gold demon crown on his head, as he led countless demon soldiers into battle.

Only then did she learn that he was the terrifying demon lord feared throughout this world.

*

Heartbroken, Lingshu decided to forget him and make a life for herself in this world.

But one day, demon soldiers suddenly showed up and forced her to kneel before him. "Reporting to the Demon Lord: this woman was hiding a portrait of Your Reverence and spouting nonsense!"

"Oh? Make her raise her head."

Lingshu raised her head in humiliation, tears streaming down her face.

The next moment, the cold, sharp gaze of the man on the throne suddenly froze.

Then, with shock in his eyes, he walked toward her step by step. His cold hand lifted her chin. "My wife, Ashu, are you real or not?"

Upcoming novel: Marrying the Powerful Minister. Please add it to your reading list!

①

Chu Yuman had been born a noble daughter of the prime minister's household, precious as a jade branch. But she lost in the struggle for imperial power and had no choice but to marry Pei Yu, a son of the Pei family born to a concubine.

He had the face of a bodhisattva and the heart of a snake. He was a complete lunatic.

On their wedding night, he disfigured himself and even spilled blood throughout the Pei residence.

The two things he said that chilled people to the bone were:

"The moon is so bright tonight."

"It's getting cold. The Xu family should be wiped out."

He scorned etiquette and defied all conventions. Chu Yuman had never seen anyone as deranged as him.

He was the very definition of a traitorous rebel.

In the end, he ascended the throne and pinched her playfully. "If you want to be empress, then be a good girl and do as I say."

But she died beneath the hooves of rebel forces without ever becoming empress.

Only later did she discover that the soul of a devil lived inside him...

②

Given another life, Chu Yuman planned to act like a virtuous lady and find a good husband to keep herself out of trouble.

Who would have thought she'd stumble upon him killing someone again...

Looking into the man's cold, sinister eyes, which seemed ready to take a life at any moment, Chu Yuman's legs nearly gave way. In a flash of desperation, she blurted out, "That man deserved to die! He was my sworn enemy!"

The man paused, then slowly curled his lips. "Oh? I helped you kill your enemy. How will you repay me, Miss?"

"I-I can help you bury the body?"

Later, Chu Yuman had no choice but to board his pirate ship. She tried to protect herself while maneuvering around him, only to discover that he was even more deranged than in her previous life.

● A pitiful, adorable heroine who hates him with all her heart vs. a traitorous rebel hero

● PS: The hero was born into his current life. Imagine a deranged domineering CEO who sees everyone as a dog. Besides the heroine, the only thing he's interested in is becoming the most powerful person around.
