Also known as: Does My Face Look That Easy to Fool Today?
Jing Yue, a painted-skin demon, paints her face as part of her daily routine, always giving herself that delicate, frail look of a peerlessly beautiful white lotus, with sparkling eyes and pearly teeth.
While traveling, she runs into a group of plainly dressed older men and women.
The moment they open their mouths, they start wailing at her:
"Daughter, I've had such a hard time finding you. How could you leave your dad all alone in the countryside?"
The group launches into a loud tirade:
"Niece, how could you run away from home? Hurry up and come back with us!"
"A father and daughter shouldn't hold grudges overnight. Whatever you have to say, let's go home and talk."
The onlookers are enjoying this fresh family drama.
Seeing that things are going badly, she gets an idea!
She suddenly grabs the fake father's leg and cries out,
"Dad, I didn't mean to leave! But yesterday I broke an antique vase in my boss's office, and he says I owe him three million!"
The kidnappers hear this and all start backing away, but she clings to them and refuses to let go.
"Dad! Will you pay the money back for me?"
"As long as you pay it back, I'll be the most filial daughter from now on!"
"I'll marry whichever old man you tell me to marry! I won't back out, I swear!"
"The debt collectors are right over there."
"You just said I was your favorite daughter. You'll pay this back for me, right?"
She pulls out an IOU and points to a hulking man in the crowd who looks like a vicious fiend (not really).
Later on,
A group of prisoners sit dejectedly in A City's detention center, having finally been caught after years of getting away with their crimes.
Prisoner A: How did you end up here?
Prisoner B: To be honest, that day I saw a young woman walking alone, so...
Prisoner C: We were planning to take her home...
Prisoner D: Actually, me too...
[The pitiful-looking, trouble-prone, faceless demon girl X the justice-minded, brawny occult expert]
Reading Guide:
1. A series of standalone stories. The female lead is a young demon who grows over time.
2. One-on-one romance, but the romance is written terribly! I'll try harder next book!
3. Respect one another and enjoy the story civilly. There are countless great books on Jinjiang. If this one isn't for you, pick another.
4. May every passion be treated with gentleness.

Theme: Uphold justice
It's very funny to fulfill a wish and then regret it and ask for additional tasks. The funniest thing is the compulsion. I'm weak and can't stand this. I'm sorry.
What the hell is the plot? This demon has no effect at all, right? This underworld agency will deduct points if it wants. . . . I blame everyone else for everything. I don't want her to see her family and refuse directly. I'm really speechless.
Complain to the local government?
I have already thought of counter-complaints in at least two directions for the underworld's rhetoric.
What kind of idiot who just came here wrote such a rhetoric about loopholes? Is the background so powerful that you are fearless? Will the leader not review it after sending it out? Or is it that the leader just wants to kill this manuscript writer?
? ? ? ? ? ? Why should the heroine be responsible for this? ? ? ? Is it related to her? ? ? ? What about logic? ? ?
This ended too hastily, anticlimactic.
Seeing it now, I feel like I was deceived by the copywriter
My family member is hospitalized for surgery, and my energy is limited. I cannot guarantee the update of the two books for the time being. I will suspend the update of this book for a week. I will be back when I have time to do.
