After Being Kicked Off the Team, I Was Forced to Join the Demon God’s Team

Xia You transmigrated.

When she woke up, she found herself in a strange world, with a panel floating beside her that only she could see.

All her stats were mediocre, perfectly ordinary, except for one that was off the charts.

Super Luck: She herself was guaranteed to be lucky, and her friends in the party could receive a blessing. She could grant any teammate within ten meters a 100% luck bonus.

With this stat, she thrived in the otherworld.

At first, as a member of the human race, Xia You naturally chose to join a human adventurer party.

Thanks to her ability, the party became the strongest in the local Hero Adventurers' Guild. They maintained a perfect record with no casualties, and even the most difficult quests were easy to complete.

As new members kept joining, however, she gradually found herself being pushed out

“Why do we have to bring her along? She's just a pretty face who can't help with anything.”

“She gets on my nerves. She always runs around during fights and throws me off.”

Xia You, trying her best to stay within ten meters of her teammates because she was afraid they'd get hurt: “...”

After the party reached full capacity, the vice-captain wanted to bring in the Divine Priestess he'd secretly fallen for. While the captain was unconscious after an accident, the vice-captain blamed Xia You for the failure of their latest quest and expelled her from the party.

Now a solo adventurer, Xia You completed the quest on her own, obtained the medicine that would save the captain, and successfully brought him around.

When the captain woke and learned Xia You had been kicked out, he hurriedly brought the entire party to beg her to come back.

“Xia You, we can't do this without you. Come back, please. Don't be mad.”

Xia You: “...Sorry, I already have a new party.”

She was forcibly bound to the Demon God party by an evil dragon!

At first, Xia You had no desire to join the Demon God party. But after meeting the five Demon Gods in person and learning about their abilities and the truth of the otherworld

“Daddies! Let me lie flat!”

After being kicked out of her old party, she went on to become the Demon Gods' beloved mascot!

That evil dragon is the male lead.

One-on-one romance, and each other's first love.

Reader's Guide:

1. The setting is a continent in another world, home to humans, dragons, vampires, undead, jellies, and more.

2. The heroine loves adventuring. Later on, she becomes obsessed with leveling up her party by having heroes fight dragons, and an already infamous dragon grows more and more terrifying as a result.

(Evil Dragon Male Lead: How many times do I have to say it? Humans aren't on my menu.)

3. In the human world, Xia You will become the captain of the strongest hero party.

In the world of monsters, Lady Youyou is the kindest and most approachable of the five Demon Gods, the God of Luck.

P.S. Lady Youyou is the name the heroine gives herself in the monster world.

P.P.S. There are six people among the five Demon Gods. That's common knowledge! (Absolutely certain.)

4. [Highlight] This story belongs to the kicked-out-of-the-party genre, a well-established genre with many works. Heroes, priestesses, saints, princesses, elves, healers... Every occupation you can think of, and some you can't, has been kicked out of a party in other works.

The trope has even appeared in early Chinese literature.

A protagonist with a crucial role is misunderstood by the captain, then pushed out of the party after their teammates fan the flames. Without the protagonist's incredible abilities, the party struggles to complete its quests. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, the captain and the teammates all try to win the protagonist back.

What does this plot remind you of?

That's right, the White Bone Spirit arc from Journey to the West.

Coming Soon: After Losing My Right to the Throne, I Was Forced to Become the Neighboring Country's Emperor

Xia Yin is the old king's favorite daughter.

She grew up at his side, learning from him how to govern diligently and care for the people.

Though still young, she has already introduced many agricultural policies beloved by the people, and her reputation has spread to other countries.

But her peaceful life ended the day the old king died.

Her brother, missing for ten years, suddenly appeared with a ruthless-looking army and turned his sword on Xia Yin.

“My Princess Xia Yin, you conspired with a servant to poison the king. The evidence and witnesses are irrefutable. Do you have anything left to say in your defense?”

“As one of the Peacock Kingdom's first-in-line heirs, I strip you of your right to the throne and banish you from the country. You will never set foot on this land again!”

Her brother seemed to spare her life, but as soon as she crossed the border of the Peacock Kingdom, he sent assassins after her.

At this critical moment, a troop of knights from a neighboring country appeared before her and saved her amid a flash of steel.

The man at their head sat astride a tall horse, his face hidden by a helmet glinting with cold light.

“Are you Princess Xia Yin of the Peacock Kingdom?”

Pride in her royal heritage kept Xia Yin from denying who she was, even though he looked hostile. “I am.”

“Good. You're now the king of the Rainbow Kingdom.”

Xia Yin froze. “...Huh?”

She asked, “Can I refuse?”

He replied, “No.”

After her brother stripped her of her right to the throne, she was forced to become the neighboring country's emperor!

Six months later

The new king, who had renamed the Peacock Kingdom the Kingdom of Flame, heard that the neighboring Rainbow Kingdom had fertile farmland, and the whole country rejoiced.

“Your Majesty, this is bad! Many of our subjects are secretly moving their entire families to settle in the neighboring Rainbow Kingdom!”

The new king, looking furious, scoffed disdainfully.

“Hmph, so what? They value farming and benevolent rule, while we value the suppression of dissent by force. Once they grow prosperous, they'll be nothing more than the granary of our Kingdom of Flame.”

Yun Sheng: “Sorry, this granary is protected by her most loyal knight.”

A heroine with maxed-out skills in everything except combat,

and

A male lead who follows the heroine's every order, is her biggest fan, isn't very bright, but possesses overwhelming strength.

Reader's Guide:

1. When we say the male lead isn't bright, we mean he doesn't know how to develop agriculture and the like, not that he has any actual intellectual disability.

2. The heroine suffers setbacks under her brother early on only because she grew up in a benevolent royal court and never expected her long-lost brother to be this kind of person.

Another Upcoming Story in the Same Genre: The New Demon King Is Super Cute

Blurb:

Xia Mi transmigrated.

The moment she opened her eyes, she found herself in a gloomy castle, with eerie black flames glowing all around.

Two neat rows of bizarre-looking monsters knelt before her. Led by a butler in a swallowtail coat, they respectfully said:

“We welcome the new Demon King!”

Xia Mi blinked, completely at a loss.

...Demon King? What king? What demon?

How had the world changed while she was asleep?

In the otherworld, Xia Mi has a super-cute attribute bonus. No matter what kind of magic she studies, the spells she learns turn out super cute.

Necromantic Skeleton Spell!

Rustle! She summons a skeleton monster wearing a cute maid outfit.

Heart-Eating Control Spell!

Pop-pop! Pink heart-shaped bubbles shoot out and enter the enemy's chest.

Even the black flames she lights for illumination turn into adorable pink flames.

In no time, the Demon King's castle, once a place that struck terror into the hearts of all

becomes a super-cute, super-cozy pink world!

The hero party, which had defeated the previous Demon King countless times, arrives at the Demon King's castle again and is left dumbfounded by its transformation.

What worries them most is that their main fighter, the Hero, is completely defenseless against cuteness!

Ta-da! The dazzling new Demon King makes her entrance!

Just as expected

“No! Hero, you can't defect to the enemy!”

“Quick! Get the Hero back!”

News that the hero party fled the Demon King's castle in disarray spreads across the entire otherworldly continent in an instant.

Before long, the new Demon King becomes an even more terrifying figure, one who strikes even greater fear into everyone's hearts.

Far away in the Demon King's castle, Xia Mi eats sparkly jelly, sitting on the castle's tallest turret with her legs swinging.

Terrifying? She's just a harmless little Demon King who got thrown into the job!
