If I Can't Have My Archenemy, I'll Kill Him

A gorgeous, flirtatious, fickle female demon who loves to seduce x a cold, ruthless, straight, jealous assassin

[Blurb One]

Qiang Li rose to fame at a young age as the most powerful woman in the martial world.

Legend said she was unmatched in beauty and martial arts, ruthless and wicked, and that she could do anything from plotting schemes to running a business. Under her leadership, Cangling Mountain became the largest and wealthiest demonic sect in the martial world.

She was invincible and seemingly perfect, with only two fatal flaws.

One was her love of alcohol. The other... ahem, was her love of handsome men.

That was how she got into trouble.

Drunk out of her mind, she flirted with an assassin who had come to kill her.

She didn't just kiss him and grope him, she locked him in her bedroom, tied him up, and said she wanted to marry him.

Facing the assassin's utterly innocent, bashful expression,

Qiang Li said, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you."

The assassin: "..."

[Blurb Two]

Qiang Li never imagined that on her wedding day, the groom would stab her.

Enemies from the major sects gathered and sent her, still dressed in her wedding gown, tumbling off a cliff.

When she woke, she was a caged beast,

while the assassin had become her master.

As it turned out, the assassin hadn't meant to kill her. He wanted to use her to make medicine for someone else.

Forced to drink poisoned tea, she struggled to kiss him on the lips.

"One day as husband and wife means a hundred days of affection. If I die, you're coming with me."

The assassin's gaze flickered, but he stubbornly insisted,

"You won't die."

Later, whenever the assassin came to see her, he always left blushing. Sometimes he would stay and watch her all night, only leaving the next day.

Later still, Qiang Li discovered she was pregnant. When she shared the happy news with the assassin, she mercilessly stabbed him in the heart in return, then walked away without looking back.

Important:

A reunited-after-breaking-up, one-on-one romance with love and hate intertwined and a little forced love. They both want to tame the other like a dog.

The male lead is strong, but the female lead is even stronger. She acts shamelessly and has no interest in feminine virtue.

When they fight, they really fight and show no mercy. There is no distinction between men and women in a duel between masters, so don't read if that bothers you.

The heroine isn't a virgin, but she's never slept with anyone. Before meeting the male lead, she proposed to six handsome men, but none accepted.

The male lead is chaste. He thinks he has no feelings, and though he gets shy and falls for her, he doesn't realize it. Deep down, he's a devoted, jealous man of few words.

This is a fictional martial world, so don't overthink the details. This is the story of Shen Duo's parents from the author's other novel, The Villain.

[The author dislikes all scumbag men, so here's a heads-up: the male lead is chaste and devoted, and the heroine won't be abused. Don't read if that's not your thing.]
