[A quiet, trouble-avoiding Demon Lord who just wants to live a long life and is all talk]
[A dedicated little immortal gardener who gets taken by force]
Before He Yue was even born, her name had already spread throughout the Six Realms. The Demon Realm declared she would become the strongest Demon Lord, while the Immortal Realm insisted she was destined to be a world-ending demon.
As the Immortal and Demon Realms anxiously kept watch on the shores of the Sunken Sea, each with their own plans as they awaited her arrival, He Yue, whose consciousness had only just formed, sat blankly on the seabed, receiving the Demon Realm's inheritance.
The Demon Lord before the previous two had coveted the Immortal Realm's greatest treasure, the Heaven-Painting Mirror. He led an army in a forced assault on the Heavenly Court and was killed by an immortal bigwig.
The Demon Lord before the previous one disliked the Demon Realm's location, so he led his followers to wreak havoc in the mortal world and was killed by an immortal bigwig.
The previous Demon Lord was arrogant and thought himself above everyone, provoking the Immortal Realm time and again before being killed by an immortal bigwig.
In short, no Demon Lord had ever met a good end. Demons lived no more than a thousand years on average.
After reviewing how every previous Demon Lord had died, and hearing the Demon Realm's earth-shaking cries to destroy the world outside, He Yue brushed off her skirt and tiptoed away in the opposite direction.
What a joke! So many bigwigs from the Demon Realm had been killed by the Immortal Realm. Why should she add another achievement to the Immortal Realm's record? What did the Demon Realm's plan to destroy the world have to do with her, He Yue?
However, the inheritance had forgotten to tell her that a Heavenly Demon appearing in the world would draw down heavenly lightning. So, just before He Yue collapsed and passed out, she saw the mass of people from the Immortal Realm rushing toward her in the distance and cursed inwardly.
"The demon is over there!"
"She's holding an immortal lord hostage!"
What immortal lord? Only then did He Yue realize that when she was struck by lightning, she'd taken some unlucky fellow down with her. And she was clutching a charred... broom?
He Yue's vision went black. How was she supposed to explain this? She was doomed!
