Meng Yu is a lazy demon who coasts through life, mooches off others, ranks last in performance, and has accomplished nothing beyond sucking up to her boss.
The Demon Lord has had enough and decides to send this lazy, useless subordinate to train as an undercover agent at the righteous path's top sect.
Meng Yu is kicked into Changsheng Sect and becomes an outer disciple.
Changsheng Sect runs on a 996 schedule. Outer disciples have to sweep the grounds, water the flowers, and moonlight as dog walkers for the elder next door.
Meng Yu can't get enough to eat or warm clothes, and even gets punished by being made to stand when she falls asleep at work.
To make her life more comfortable, she decides to go back to her old tricks and find a superior to flatter.
Just then, the esteemed master of Changsheng Sect emerges from seclusion, and the whole world celebrates.
The master's name is Xie Yusong. He's a peerless prodigy in the cultivation world, able to break all techniques with his sword, and only one step away from ascension.
Guided by the principle that if you're going to cling to someone's coattails, you should cling to the biggest ones, Meng Yu diligently sets out to flatter her master.
When her master reaches out, she hands him tea. When he catches a cold and coughs, she makes him soup with her own hands. When he's injured fighting monsters, she cries as if her father has died.
Thanks to Meng Yu's tireless efforts, one day her master finally confesses his love for her.
Meng Yu: ...
In her third year undercover, Meng Yu is in too deep and is forced to start dating her master.
In her tenth year undercover, she and her master break up and get back together so many times that they're on the verge of getting married.
Meng Yu can't take it anymore and secretly messages the Demon Lord: Big brother, help me, help me! If I don't come back soon, I'll end up as the master's wife!!
The Demon Lord breaks down: ...Is this how you've been undercover? Just break up with him!
