This novel: [Clueless, carefree lazy fish x Tyrannical, obsessive demon lord]

1.

Yu Wan is a low-level employee at the Love Tribulation Creation Bureau.

This is her third mission.

She stares blankly for a long time at the handsome lunatic before her, dressed in black, spitting blood, and pointing a sword at her with a vicious glare.

Yu Wan: "You stupid System, didn't you say our targets would be exceptional and easy to approach?"

System: "Pei Rangchen is the youngest and most handsome Demon Lord in history. What could be better? And you, Yu Wan, are the wicked maid who bullied him as a child. He swore to hunt you down to the ends of the earth. You don't even have to approach him yourself. How convenient!"

Yu Wan: "Does that sound like something a person would say?"

System: "The worlds and identities I gave you the first two times were so good. Tell me, what did you do with them?"

2.

What did she do?

The first time, she was a princess and got so caught up in handsome men that she kept a whole retinue of pretty boys. Before her mission progress was even halfway complete, the remnants of the former dynasty stabbed her through the abdomen.

The second time, she was the adored junior sister of her sect. She foolishly fell for her scheming second senior brother, who killed her with a poisoned nuptial cup on their wedding night.

Yu Wan: "I'm a rookie. It's inevitable that I'm still learning the ropes. But you can't throw me straight into Hell difficulty!"

System: "You've already ruined this guy's life twice. He used to be a proper gentleman of the righteous path, just one step away from immortality, and you made him fall into demonic ways. Of course the difficulty shoots up when you're the villain's love tribulation!"

Yu Wan: "Wait. Are you telling me this lunatic who gets red-eyed and grabs me by the throat every other day is the gentle, refined prince consort from my first world and the ethereal, sage-like senior brother from my second?"

3.

Pei Rangchen: This is the third life in which I've met her.

Pei Rangchen: Three lifetimes, and her work ethic is still terrible. I'm her love tribulation, yet she's fickle and keeps falling for other people.

Pei Rangchen: In this life, my cultivation is complete and I'm invincible. Let's see who can take her away from me now.

Pei Rangchen: Did you hear that, Yu Wan? For three lifetimes, I followed the path of slaughter and refused to become an immortal, all so I could ask you not to leave me.

Pei Rangchen: I haven't fallen in love with you yet, and your mission isn't complete. You can't die. Wanwan, please. You can't do this to me.

[Bonus Scene]

Yu Wan: "It's over. Pei Rangchen says he's going to lock me in this lightless cage and leave me to die alone."

System: "Look at this gleaming furniture and the bed padded with velvet. He calls this a cage?"

Yu Wan: "He says he's waiting for me to let my guard down so he can poison my food!"

System: "Three gourmet meals a day, never repeating a dish. He's really going to a lot of trouble to poison you."

Yu Wan: "He also says he'll make sure I never find love in any lifetime, and die heartbroken."

System: "But I heard he sent people to the market to prepare betrothal gifts, and plans to bring you home in an eight-palanquin bridal sedan as the Demon Lord's wife."

Yu Wan: "It's over. Does this mean I can complete my mission this time?"

System: "You don't seem all that happy about it."

[Reading Guide]

1. One-on-one, one true pairing, happy ending. A simple, sweet romance full of angst and melodramatic twists.

2. The male lead is genuinely crazy, with an early love rivalry. The female lead is a lazy fish with an unusual way of thinking.

3. Includes a possessive male lead who takes what he wants and a pregnancy-and-escape plot. Read with caution if that's not your thing. The plot is all in the service of sweetness, and the setting is entirely fictional.

[Sweet young lady x Gloomy, withdrawn snake]

[Ultimate fluff-lover heroine x Male lead who has everything except fur]

By a twist of fate, Gan Xin chose a personal servant named Gu Yi. He was handsome and nimble, but a little cold and gloomy.

She grew more and more accustomed to Gu Yi taking care of her, and became very dependent on him.

They did disagree on one thing. She loved furry animals and was very used to petting and cuddling them. Whenever Gu Yi caught her at it, he looked extremely unhappy.

At some point, the furry creatures around her began to dwindle, while a little snake appeared outside her bedroom door.

The snake flicked its tail at her.

Gan Xin fled in terror on the spot.

The little snake never appeared again.

Until the battle between the immortals and demons, when the Serpent King Teng She descended from the sky, faced the enemy alone, and protected the entire Beast Taming Manor.

The demon king turned into a little snake, and the little snake turned into Gu Yi. He came to her and asked her, a woman with a deep fear of snakes, to form a blood pact with him.

Gan Xin, the young lady of Beast Taming Manor, glanced at her family, who looked delighted, then suppressed her fear and nodded.

Much later.

Gu Yi came back from outside. An inescapable, chilly, serpentine aura clung to him, and traces of blood could be glimpsed beneath his black cloak.

Gan Xin's nose twitched. She hurried behind a pillar and peered out warily.

"Did you go after a beast tamer?" Her eyes reddened. "Didn't you promise not to make an enemy of Beast Taming Manor?"

"..."

"Answer me!"

"..."

After a long silence, Gu Yi held out his hand. A sleeping white puff lay in his palm.

"I went to catch you a rabbit."

"...Then what about the smell of blood?"

Gu Yi: "You bit me last night."

Gan Xin's cheeks turned red despite herself.

Gu Yi beckoned. "Come here."

Gan Xin hesitated before approaching. The closer she got to Gu Yi, the harder he found it to suppress his smile. Just as she reached out to touch him, Gu Yi suddenly transformed into a snake.

His tail swayed. His eyes were dark, his voice low and coaxing.

"Touch my tail, and I'll let you hold the rabbit."

[I'm not that scary. Try loving me.]
