Kill That Demon Ghost

Lin Wu retired from the underworld years ago. To repay a debt, she transmigrates a thousand years into the past to kill a demon. A thousand years ago, the demon is no world-shaking Demon King, but weak and helpless... and then he pulls a vicious trick on Lin Wu. Lin Wu is caught off guard and her strength falls back to the Qi Refining stage. She also accidentally consumes a life-sharing parasite, tying her fate to the demon's. Her future looks bleak. As he is dying, the demon decides to take everyone down with him. He feeds the life-sharing parasite to the last woman hunting him, and then he survives. The woman saves him while cursing him out, gives him medicine, and holds off the pursuers behind them. For the first time, he isn't alone. He thinks that once the parasite is removed, he will kill this woman at once. That way, he can preserve this warmth forever. Lin Wu: "What are you looking at? Go roast some fish!" The demon silently gets up to kill a fish and start a fire. Obedient and compliant, he tries his best to play the pitiful little thing. They travel together, getting along harmoniously, surrounded by tender warmth. The moment the parasite is removed, they turn their blades on each other. Lin Wu: "Damn it!" What a vicious, devious demon! He secretly cultivated so fast that he can't even be killed anymore! A sword is held before Lin Wu, but the demon doesn't strike. His crimson eyes fix on her. "Marry me, and I won't kill you." Lin Wu: ? Lin Wu: "Deal." Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, surviving is the best. On their wedding day, Lin Wu fails to assassinate him yet again. Wearing a red wedding gown, she leaps from a high tower, blooming like a brilliant crimson flower in the demon's dark eyes. After faking her death, Lin Wu returns to her own time to live freely. She assumes the mission has failed, but then the demon vanishes without a trace. They say that a thousand years ago, after the Demon King saw his beloved die, his demonic power spiraled out of control and he went mad. He was torn apart by countless demons as blood filled the sky. The Demon King is no more. Mission accomplished. Did the Demon King, who could destroy the heavens and earth, really... die just like that...? P.S. HE! HE! HE! (An important thing must be said three times.) *****Coming soon: "The Pretty-Faced Vase Is a Mecha Ace." Please add it to your collection!***** An empty city street, a dense primeval forest, depleted energy... Ji Jiuxiao has always believed she lives in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Until one day, a spaceship lands. Ji Jiuxiao: "I'm in the apocalypse, and you're in cyberpunk?" As an orphan who has lost her way, Ji Jiuxiao ends up at an interstellar relief station. A talent scout spots her at a glance, and she becomes a pretty-faced vase with no talent, a C-list celebrity. Half a year later, a director has a sudden idea for a variety show about preparing for the military academy entrance exam. It's so outlandish that no one expects it to succeed. "Are they crazy? You can't just waltz into military school!" "Stop trying to ride the military school's coattails, entertainment industry. The two have nothing to do with each other!" "What unlucky celebrity would take a job like this? They'll be laughed to death." Ji Jiuxiao, unlucky celebrity, broke pauper, takes the job because... they're paying way too much! The show is broadcast live. As the celebrities walk into the exam hall, the entire internet mocks them, guessing how awful the washed-up stars' scores will be. Three days later, the results are announced. Ji Jiuxiao is the only one on the list, and the whole internet erupts. Viewers: ? Viewers: "We were all here for a laugh. How did you actually get in?" Viewers: "I won't say who's having a meltdown." Facing the camera, Ji Jiuxiao looks innocent. "That's it? I thought it would be hard." That night, the C-list pretty-faced vase becomes an overnight sensation. Countless people report foul play, accuse the show of being scripted, and beg for her secrets... Amid the online uproar, Ji Jiuxiao packs her things and strides into military school. As Ji Jiuxiao appears on screen less often and stops acting, public interest steadily wanes, and her fans grow anxious. No one expects her to take the internet by storm again during a joint military academy exercise. On camera, the cadets are fired up, battling fiercely and brimming with youthful energy. When the camera pans to Ji Jiuxiao, she is enjoying a peaceful moment, flipping through a book called "An Actor's Self-Cultivation." Viewers: ... The day's headlines: #Shocking! This Military Cadet Was Caught Sneaking a Look at This Book During Exercises!# #The Acting Book Military Cadets Secretly Read: Do You Know What It Is?# Later, Ji Jiuxiao pilots a mecha, carving a path through her enemies and winning an impressive comeback. Asked for an interview, she gives a serious look. "My dream is to keep being a pretty-faced vase." School is exhausting. Being a vase pays better, but no one told her she'd have to pay a penalty for dropping out of military school! * In the interstellar age, humans awaken mental powers and can pilot mechas to repel foreign enemies. Mental breakdowns become a new disease that comes with this power. As the age progresses, human mental powers develop into two types. One is offensive and can control mechas; the other can provide psychological guidance and help prevent mental breakdowns. Ji Jiuxiao belongs to the latter type. She enters the entertainment industry to help ease people's mental stress through immersive film and television experiences. The effect is limited, so she ends up a pretty-faced vase. Everyone understands the logic, but why is Ji Jiuxiao's healing power so aggressively powerful? Military enthusiasts watch Ji Jiuxiao pilot a mecha and slaughter her way through the battlefield, then ask: Is this what the entertainment industry calls a pretty-faced vase? Note: Most of the story takes place at military school, with a few scenes of filming interspersed. Theme: Stay true to yourself.
