Synopsis:
Qian Yuejian transmigrates into a cultivation novel and becomes the wife of the story's biggest villain, the Demon Venerable.
The book says the couple are both a scourge upon the world, one wreaking havoc among the common people and the other slaughtering the righteous. They can turn the clouds with a wave of their hands and have committed every imaginable evil, until the male and female leads join forces to kill them on the city walls.
Qian Yuejian thinks, What a thrilling setup!
She plans to enjoy the comforts of being the Demon Venerable's wife first, then figure out how to avoid being beheaded in public by the protagonists.
Qian Yuejian is full of excitement, eager to see her domain.
Then reality hits her hard.
Her Demon Venerable husband is peerlessly handsome, but after living for far too long, he's unfortunately developed dementia. Not only is his mood unpredictable, he's also terribly forgetful, and his memory needs to be rebooted every day.
On the first day he meets her, he asks, "Who are you?"
On the three-hundredth day, he asks, "I love you, but who were you again?"
The Demon Palace she owns stretches for three hundred miles and is magnificent and splendid, but it's also drowning in debt. The furniture has even been hauled away to pay it off.
In short, she's a pauper with a villainous husband who has dementia.
Women can hold up half the sky.
Qian Yuejian resolves to work hard. She'll make money while finding a treatment for her demented Demon Venerable.
As the dignified wife of the Demon Venerable, she goes out to take on bounty missions during the day, writes novels at home at night, and runs a shop selling goods in her spare time. She works three jobs a day. Even a donkey in the human world has more free time than she does.
The System twiddles its fingers, aggrieved. "Don't forget your mission. You still have to torment the male and female leads."
Qian Yuejian, working so hard her eyes are blazing: "The male and female what?"
The System: "The male and female leads."
Qian Yuejian: "What female lead?"
The System: "The male and female leads QAQ"
The System ruefully gives her two names. They seem strangely familiar to Qian Yuejian, so she checks the ledger. Her little hand clenches, and she declares righteously, "What male and female leads? Those are my esteemed VIP customers and my generous sponsors!"
Qian Yuejian has an epiphany.
What's the point of wreaking havoc on the world? Of destroying it? Of having a Demon Venerable husband? What's important is making money!
Yun Chuxiu, who's just recovered from dementia and is about to make a heartfelt confession: "?"
