After Zhou Qingying transmigrates into a book, she cultivates from a chinchilla into human form and spends several years with a man from the immortal clan. But all she gets in return is betrayal: her scumbag lover throws her into the demon realm, stripping her of her cultivation.
When she wakes, an injured demon man is sitting beside her. He is breathtakingly beautiful, but has a violent temper.
Desperate for revenge, Zhou Qingying tries to recruit him. "The war between the immortals and demons is coming in a year. The demons will suffer a crushing defeat, and the Demon Lord Xie Zhiling will be sealed away for three thousand years!"
Xie Zhiling's eyes darken. "You know quite a lot."
Zhou Qingying: "Buddy, you've got incredible talent. If you cultivate with me, we'll become unstoppable!"
Xie Zhiling knocks Zhou Qingying unconscious with a palm strike from across the room.
Too noisy.

Xie Zhiling cultivates a secret art. The first person he sees when he opens his eyes becomes bound to his cultivation, and he must complete the art's instructions within a hundred days or all his progress will be lost.
Secret art: [Embrace her to complete one-tenth of your cultivation]
Secret art: [Kiss her to complete two-tenths of your cultivation]
Secret art: [Bathe with her to complete eight-tenths of your cultivation]
Secret art: [Share a bed with her to complete nine-tenths of your cultivation]
Xie Zhiling looks thoroughly impatient. "Enough!"
Later.
Secret art: [Make love with her to complete your cultivation]
Xie Zhiling glances at Zhou Qingying, playing in the distance, and gives a raised-brow smile. "Understood."
Secret art: Wishing the Demon Lord great success in mastering peerless martial arts!

After being worn out until she's practically impotent, Zhou Qingying tries to leave the demon realm, but Xie Zhiling stops her. "Where are you going?"
She frantically comes up with an excuse. "I... I've long admired the Demon Lord Xie Zhiling. I look up to his peerless bearing..."
Xie Zhiling narrows his eyes. "What a coincidence. I am Xie Zhiling."
Zhou Qingying: "What?" Get lost!

[Bonus Scene]
Transformed back into a little chinchilla, Zhou Qingying tugs on Xie Zhiling's sleeve to complain. "He's the scumbag!"
Xie Zhiling cups the fluffy little chinchilla in his palm. With a snap of his fingers, half the immortal realm is wiped out.
Zhou Qingying's eyes go wide in amazement. "That was amazing! Do it again!"
This war between the immortals and demons is passed down for billions of years, and all three realms know that the thing the Demon Lord Xie Zhiling cherishes most is the little chinchilla in his palm.
When someone asks her how she won over the Demon Lord, Qingying answers with righteous indignation: "It's got nothing to do with me! He was the one who shamelessly stuck to me!"
