Qi Zhaoyao wakes up to find herself the new Demon Lord of the Sacred Palace of the Demon Sect.
At the time, the new Demon Lord has just destroyed Qingya Mountain, one of the three great immortal sects, and abducted Xie Shuhan, once the foremost prodigy of the immortal sects, bringing him to the Demon Sect as a cultivation partner and enjoying his company day and night.
Qi Zhaoyao opens her eyes groggily, only to hear a subordinate say, "My lord, Immortal Lord Xie has arrived. Would you like to enjoy him now?"
Qi Zhaoyao: ?
Enjoy him how?
What does that mean? Is it what I think it means? [Shocked!!!]
Help! I just woke up and found myself in the middle of a Demon Lord taking a cultivation partner to bed. What do I do?
Waiting for an answer online, urgent!

Qi Zhaoyao has heard that the Demon Sect is ruthless, where strength is everything and killing one's lord to seize power is customary.
To stay alive, she has no choice but to keep up her act, seducing that aloof immortal again and again and sleeping with him over and over, afraid he'll realize one day that she's not strong enough and suddenly slap her dead.
Later, she hears that Xie Shuhan has been implanted with a life-and-death gu by the original host, leaving him no choice but to obey her and unable to lay a hand on her. Only then does she finally relax.
The Demon Lord has no heart. She turns on her heel and is ready to leave.
But the aloof immortal, who never responded no matter how much she flirted with him or slept with him, suddenly grabs her sleeve with red-rimmed eyes and pleads weakly, "...Don't go."
Seeing him on the verge of tears, Qi Zhaoyao softens and stays.
But once the immortal comes to his senses, he is still cold and distant, as icy as a mountain, barely giving her the time of day. When the gu acts up, he even takes her hand and calls out to someone else: "Qiuli, it hurts."
Qi Zhaoyao: ???
So you were treating me as a substitute?
The Demon Lord never had a heart to begin with, and now she is colder than ever. She shakes his hand off and walks away.
Once her cultivation improves, she'll remove the gu and give him his freedom.
But then he looks at her again with red-rimmed eyes.
Qi Zhaoyao (suddenly nervous): What? Are you going to take revenge and slap me dead?
#An outwardly aloof, inwardly restrained and devoted immortal x a heartless, carefree and captivating Demon Lord#
#Mutual devotion, happy ending, angst mixed with sweetness, both tender and heartbreaking#
