[Main story complete]

[New novel, The Demon Lord Always Wants to Rise to Power, is now open. Please bookmark it.]

Synopsis:

#Click to watch a gorgeous second male lead win himself over#

#Laid-back heroine x self-persuaded hero#

Yuan Chu transmigrates into an angsty xianxia novel, becoming the ill-fated wife of Immortal Lord Xuan Chen, whose tragic romance with the mortal Bai Shulan ends in misery. She is also bound to a capture System.

Her target is the original story's “heroine,” a pitiful beauty with fair skin.

But Yuan Chu just wants to lie flat. She slacks off on her daily tasks, does only half of the mandatory ones, brings the “heroine” brown sugar ginger tea when she's sick, leftover pastries when she's hungry, and simply falls asleep beside her when she can't sleep. Yet for some reason, her affection rating shoots up, reaching 99 before Yuan Chu even notices.

*

On the night she dumps the scumbag, Yuan Chu celebrates with a couple of extra drinks, only to discover that the “heroine” is radiating demonic energy, has impressively firm pectorals, and a ridiculously sexy Adam's apple.

The “heroine” strokes Yuan Chu's beautiful fish tail and smiles seductively. “Are you satisfied, sister-in-law?”

Yuan Chu: !!!

Help! How did the fair-skinned, beautiful, kind, and delicate “heroine” from the original story turn into a man?

System: Uh-oh, System bug. Wrong person. This isn't the heroine, but Wen Xichi, Xuan Chen's half-brother, who will one day nearly unite the immortal and demon realms as their Demon Lord!

*

Though Wen Xichi is the second prince of the Celestial Realm, he is considered ill-omened because he has the blood of a black dragon running through his veins.

And his older brother's wife, for some reason, fusses over him and showers him with attention, often showing off her gorgeous golden tail to seduce him.

After much thought, Wen Xichi decides Yuan Chu must have designs on him.

Later, unable to resist the temptation of Yuan Chu's sugary charm, Wen Xichi schemes to get her divorced from Xuan Chen and decides to accept her feelings.

The next day, Yuan Chu runs off with her luggage.

Wen Xichi: ...

[Content Warnings]

1. Sweet romance, not plot-driven, one-on-one, both leads are virgins, no BL, GL elements, the original heroine is not vilified, and the scumbag gets a miserable ending.

2. Not a strong, ambitious heroine cultivation novel. Includes original worldbuilding. The heroine is a slacker, the System is useless, and there are no golden fingers.

3. The hero is sweet on the outside, dark within, and wins himself over. He's not an upright sort, is a little yandere, and is totally lovestruck.

The Demon Lord Always Wants to Rise to Power, originally titled The Demon Lord Doesn't Want to Farm

A baby-faced, wicked-hearted little waif vs. a gruff but upright Demon Lord. A farmer and her hired hand's love story (not really).

Mu Qing, a graduate student in agricultural science, transmigrates into a cultivation world as a helpless orphan who is bullied by everyone. At last, she is found to have a single wood spirit root, only to learn that she has the Nine Severed Meridians and can't absorb spiritual energy to cultivate.

After being driven from her home, Mu Qing returns to the old family house and gets back to farming, hoping to build a farm of her own in the cultivation world.

Then, while turning the soil, she accidentally digs up an injured fox spirit with fluffy fox ears.

The fox spirit is extremely beautiful, stained with blood, and looks at Mu Qing with wary, murderous eyes.

Mu Qing knocks him unconscious with a brick, gives his ears a vigorous rub, then takes a deep breath. This damn little charmer dares to tempt me!

Excitedly, Mu Qing carries the fox spirit home and tricks him into signing a five-hundred-year contract of indentured servitude while he's still dazed and defenseless.

Mu Qing: I've got myself a farmhand. This is great.

*

At first, the Demon Lord thinks nothing of the contract. “Tell me, woman, what will it take for you to cancel it? Do you want me to kill your enemies, or steal the most precious treasure in the world for you?”

Later, to stay on the farm, the Demon Lord stoops to imitating the clan members he despises most, using his looks to get ahead. From farmhand to Mu Qing's husband, he happily swings his hoe. “Qingqing, look! Isn't this row dug quickly and neatly?”

Later still, Mu Qing's farm produces rare spirit herbs seldom seen in the cultivation world, along with high-grade spirit sheep on the verge of extinction. Her farm becomes famous throughout the cultivation world, and she gains several more employees to exploit:

A once-proud heir to the sword sect is forced to pay off the damage he caused to Mu Qing's herb fields by hauling manure on the farm.

A once-alluring Saintess of the demonic sect is detained and reduced to a shepherdess after dropping something from a great height and killing Mu Qing's crossbred goat.

There's also a Buddhist disciple who volunteers to be the farm's security guard, and the Demon Clan's Crown Prince, who tends the black pigs...

Don't ask why they're so obedient. It's because none of them can beat the fox spirit by Mu Qing's side!

Theme: Girls must love themselves first before they can love others.
