Tang Susu transmigrates into a xianxia novel as Su Li, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, a wicked, fearsome powerhouse feared by both humans and ghosts.
According to the original plot, Su Li is hopelessly infatuated with the supporting male character, Immortal Lord Yuehua. When she can't have him, love turns to hate. At his weakest moment, she kidnaps him to the demon realm to use as a cultivation vessel, subjecting him to endless humiliation. In the end, the Immortal Lord takes her demonic core, cuts out her heart, and drains her blood, turning her into a living medicine for the heroine, High Goddess Ziyu.
When Tang Susu arrives, she has just climbed out of bed. At the other end lies a disheveled man as beautiful as an immortal, staring at her with an expression that says, "I feel nothing at all." It's clearly Immortal Lord Yuehua, already used up and thoroughly ravished.
It seems the original Su Li has already completed the necessary steps to get herself killed.
Even worse, the demon realm is in turmoil, and the rebels have already broken through the gates of Nine Spirits Palace.
Tang Susu looks at her empty spiritual realm, then raises an arm that has gone limp with exhaustion.
What a hellish start. I can't even.
Working hard is out of the question. She might as well give up and take it easy.
She steps over and straightens the clothes of the "Immortal Lord," who's been drained dry. "I was wrong to take your innocence. Don't worry. If I make it back alive, I'll take responsibility for you."
Then she turns and charges into the rebel army, hoping to die so she can start over in another world.
She taunts them: "Are you coming one at a time, or all at once?"
The rebels naturally choose the latter.
Countless demon beasts and waves of demonic energy surge toward Tang Susu from every direction, ready to tear her to shreds.
But then...
Every attack rebounds before it can come within a step of Tang Susu!
Tang Susu: ? That works too?
Later histories recorded: On that day, corpses covered the demon realm and blood flowed like a river. With her own strength, the Demon King Su Li slaughtered every last rebel. From then on, no one dared challenge her claim to the throne, and the demon realm became the only sanctuary in the Three Realms...
The male lead's version:
The Demon Lord Jinyuan learns by chance that he's merely the villain in a xianxia novel. One day, the humans, demons, and immortals will join forces with the Heavenly Dao to kill him, leaving him utterly obliterated.
Jinyuan is not pleased and vows to rewrite his ending.
If all else fails, he'll destroy the Heavenly Dao and take the Three Realms down with him.
His first priority is to find Su Li, the living medicine who can save High Goddess Ziyu. He plans to crush her demonic core, refine her body into a demonic parasite, then secretly send her to the Immortal Realm to treat Ziyu.
But his plan only gets as far as the first step...
The Demon King "Su Li," whose soul had already been destroyed, suddenly opens her eyes.
She gently gathers the fabric of his clothes in her slender fingers and sweetly coaxes him, promising to take responsibility for him.
Jinyuan conceals the red lotus karmic fire in his palm. He assumes this is a ploy left behind by the Heavenly Dao. He can figure out its intentions first, then kill her.
Until one day...
She takes his hand to the Stone of Fated Affinity and marries him as his cultivation partner. In the throes of passion, she calls him in a soft, sweet voice: "Immortal Lord Yuehua..."
Jinyuan can no longer contain the demonic energy surrounding him. He lifts her chin and asks menacingly, "What did you call me?"
