Spring has arrived, and even the hard-working officers of the Demon Control Bureau want to fall in love.
Word is that the new bureau chief is handsome, single, and a powerful great demon!
Xu Cheng'an was trying to decide which bridge to sleep under next month. After thinking it over, she decided: him!
She'd force her way in and take advantage of him. Whatever it took, she'd use him to climb to success.
So the tireless Officer Xu took the "Demon Control" handbook she'd confiscated and began putting its lessons into practice, persevering without fail.
Until one day, during an internal affairs inspection at the bureau, the dragon shook the handbook and, blushing, demanded, "You actually took the courtesan's erotic novel as an official rulebook!" He really must love her to bits.
Xu Cheng'an was baffled. Huh???
A flood dragon that had spent three thousand years cultivating in Jiao Yan Cave woke up to find that a piece of his divine consciousness was missing. He searched his memories of the past several thousand years, but couldn't remember where he'd lost it.
To successfully transform into a dragon, he had no choice but to leave the cave and search for it.
At the foot of the mountain, he ran into a charlatan. The young woman put on an act and insisted on telling his fortune.
She counted on her fingers, talking nonsense the whole time.
He smiled without a word. Before he could respond, the young woman lifted her robe, pulled a xiu chun dao from its hiding place in her sleeve, braced one hand on the table, and vaulted over it. She chased after someone behind him, then disappeared into the woods.
The next time he saw her was on the streets of Yong'an City. The charlatan had become a constable for the Demon Control Bureau.
She rode expertly on a tall horse, one hand holding a chain strung with demons as she rode through the streets, taking them to the jail.
Her red robes and cracking whip made for a dashing sight.
Later, that whip was looped around his neck. She made the thousand-year-old flood dragon her mount and even tried to take liberties with him.
He could only indulge her helplessly. "Just sit tight. I'll handle it."
▽ The story is simply slow to write. Updates are irregular, but I won't abandon it.
▽ Worldbuilding: Humans and demons coexist. The Demon Control Bureau is a regulatory body that arose in this era, and both humans and demons work there.
▽ The heroine's abilities are prophecy, divination, and perception.
▽ The hero's abilities are teleportation, controlling rain, and possessing other bodies.
▽ A little suspense and mystery-solving, catching demons and solving cases for reward money.
▽ A little ensemble slice-of-life, with all kinds of hilarious incidents at the Demon Control Bureau.
▽ A little forced seduction, using her to climb the career ladder.
▽ A little love that grows over time, using tricks to lure a fish, and you fell for it?
▽ My headcanon is like sand. Don't ask. The author's gone mad.
▽ The heroine isn't a love-struck fool. She knows exactly what she wants.
▽ That's all for now. I'll add more if I think of anything.
▽ I might replace the title with something more suitable later (forgive this naming-challenged author, T^T).
Theme: When life is good, enjoy it to the fullest.
