I Told You the Sword Sovereign Was a Demon!

[Opening in November. Title and blurb subject to revision, core premise unchanged]

Ming Lingyu was a wicked woman of the demonic path. Her sect ordered her to infiltrate Xuantian Sword Sect, the foremost orthodox sect.

She was full of ambition and plotted carefully. Within five hundred years, she had become one of the sect's core inner disciples.

The kind who could stand in the first three rows when the Sword Venerable emerged from seclusion.

The entire sect took the Sword Venerable's return from seclusion extremely seriously.

As far as they were concerned, Sword Venerable Tingyun was the number-one enemy of their demonic sect. Just hearing his name made them grit their teeth. His name was Xie Zhaoting, and he cultivated the merciless path. Like his sword, he was utterly intolerant of demons and the evil path.

She stood in the third row, outwardly worshipful and admiring, while thinking, “So many people, all elite members of Xuantian, and the Sword Venerable is here too. If I poisoned them all with pills right now…”

Just then, an impatient male voice rang out, clear and pleasant, young and haughty. “This is annoying. I really want to kill them all.”

Ming Lingyu was horrified. What? Which fellow practitioner was bold enough to say something so outrageous in broad daylight?

“Sooner or later, I'll throw all these hypocrites into the Demon Abyss and torture them to death.”

Ming Lingyu couldn't hold back any longer. She looked around, then suddenly met the Sword Venerable's gaze from the high platform. Her heart leaped, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

At last, the Sword Venerable began his lecture. “The Way that can be spoken of is not the eternal Way.”

Wait. Ming Lingyu was aghast. Wasn't that the voice of the demonic cultivator she'd just heard?

At the sect assembly, orthodox cultivators yelled themselves hoarse as they fought over who would control the spiritual veins. Xie Zhaoting was bored out of his mind, and demonic thoughts stirred within him. Suddenly, he heard a young woman's voice: “Ugh, this is so annoying. I should just become the Demon Venerable myself!”

Hm? Xie Zhaoting looked toward the voice and saw a young female cultivator. She was young, her cultivation was weak, and she had a pretty, delicate face, both cute and charming.

So this was the girl he was engaged to? Interesting, Xie Zhaoting thought.

*Cool, arrogant, overachieving Sword Venerable x bubbly, sweet undercover demonic cultivator

*Sweet romance, happy ending, both virgins, one-on-one
