Yun Ji was the exalted Sixth Princess of the Qingyun Kingdom, born noble and blessed with extraordinary talent. For two hundred years, she had been spoiled rotten and thrown her weight around, and she had only ever had one true rival, someone who could be called her sworn enemy.
He was the young lord of an enemy kingdom. People praised his handsome looks, strength, and exceptional bearing. Yun Ji would sneer and say he had only three traits: ruthless, shameless, and impossible to deal with.
Whatever Yun Ji wanted, he snatched away. Whatever she liked, he took. Even after she became engaged, whenever he ran into her fiancé, he would inevitably mock him, and more than once the two had come to blows.
The entire Immortal Domain knew that Yun Ji and Xiao Chuxin were as incompatible as fire and water, two rulers who could never share the same court.
Later, Yun Ji was cornered at the Reversal Immortal Platform. Abandoned by everyone, she knew there was no escape.
Bathed in blood and utterly hopeless, she felt there was no point in clinging to life. When she saw Xiao Chuxin cutting through the wind toward her from afar, she suddenly thought: Could that bastard have come all this way just to watch me suffer?
She dropped the sword in her hand and thought, This time, he probably won't get to see it.
Yun Ji fell from the Reversal Immortal Platform and, by some stroke of luck, returned to a hundred years earlier.
Back then, Yun Ji was still the little princess everyone doted on. It was the Lantern Festival, and she awoke during the evening banquet to find her family and friends laughing together around her. The bitter memories of swords drawn against one another felt like a long dream from another life.
The more Yun Ji thought about it, the more unsettled she became. She left the banquet in a carriage, saying she wanted some fresh air.
Then she was dumbstruck.
Lanterns shone as bright as day, and music and singing filled the streets. That handsome, powerful young lord with his exceptional bearing was curled up in a cage by the roadside, covered in filth and bruises, barely alive. He was nothing more than a half-demon boy, kept for nobles to gawk at and torment.
Yun Ji stared in shock for a long while, until all her bewilderment turned into a scoff.
Xiao Chuxin, Xiao Chuxin. After all the years you spent lording it over me, now I've caught you at a disadvantage.
She jumped down from her carriage and pushed through the crowd. As the boy watched her with wary, frightened eyes, she held out her hand with undisguised distaste. "Hey, you. Want to come with me?"
-
The day Yun Ji died at the Reversal Immortal Platform, Chuxin's eyes nearly burst with fury. In full view of everyone, he revealed his half-demon form and burned himself into a blazing fireball.
Reborn, he knew nothing of his past life. He was still the same illiterate, bloodthirsty monster.
Everyone said the lowly half-demon had been blessed with eight lifetimes' worth of good fortune to win the Sixth Princess's favor. But he knew Yun Ji was unruly and arrogant, and had bought him on impulse. His greatest use each day was probably just to stand at her side while she laughed at him.
He hid his fangs and nursed his feathers, waiting for the right moment to snap Yun Ji's neck with his own hands.
...Then why couldn't he help drawing closer whenever that girl crooked her finger at him?
[High-and-Mighty Little Crane x Cunning Black-Hearted Schemer]
1. BG romance, fundamentally a story of mutual salvation.
2. Not traditional cultivation. The author has made up a mountain of lore, logic serves the plot, and the prose is very colloquial.
*The ranking system is adapted from the Huainanzi, "Treatise on Astronomy": "The heavens have nine layers: the first is the Moon Heaven, the second the Chen Star, the third the Tai Bai, the fourth the Sun, the fifth the Ying Huo, the sixth the Sui Star, the seventh the Zhen Star, the eighth the Fixed Stars, and the ninth the Turning Heaven."
[Coming Soon: The White Moonlight Chose the Monstrous Evil God]
Ming Xiao spent her life doing good deeds. Only after death did she learn she was a background female character in a story, whose sole purpose was to have her family slaughtered by the male lead and die in his arms, so he would never forget her.
Ming Xiao watched the male lead rise to success by stepping over her bones, then hypocritically revere her as his white moonlight. Her malice and hatred became impossible to contain, and she vowed that if she ever had another life, she would have her revenge.
But in the end, she was buried in a snowy wasteland.
She waited in vain for the Black and White Impermanence to take her to reincarnation. Instead, a frail young man came to her.
The snowstorm raged that day. Ming Xiao sat on her tombstone, watching a tall, lean young man stoop and stumble through the snow toward her...then dig open her grave with his bare hands.
From then on, the boy slept behind Ming Xiao's tombstone by day and nurtured her bones by night.
Until at last, he rebuilt Ming Xiao's body and brought her back to the world of the living.
Ming Xiao, returned from the dead, and the boy stared at each other.
Ming Xiao asked him where he came from and where he was going. He knew nothing at all, and only followed silently behind her.
"Stop following me," Ming Xiao said.
The boy's eyes reddened in panic. He looked like a lost little beast.
Ming Xiao: "...All right. What's your name?"
The boy took a branch and shakily wrote two characters in the snow: Yan Wu.
-
Ming Xiao concealed her identity, hunted demons, and waited for her chance to take down the male lead.
Yan Wu followed behind her. He ate little, had a good temper, and was very obedient.
Until one day, when they were in danger, Yan Wu mistakenly thought Ming Xiao had died. Countless pitch-black tentacles spread out behind him, swallowing demons and enemies indiscriminately.
Only then did Ming Xiao realize he was the story's final villain, a bloodthirsty and cruel monster, an evil god who was supposed to die at the male lead's hands.
When he saw Ming Xiao, the monster standing atop a pile of corpses came to his senses. He withdrew his filthy tentacles, turned back into a boy, and anxiously wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Xiao Xiao..."
"Are you full?" Ming Xiao asked cautiously. "How about some more?"
"..."
-
"I am an evil god who should never have existed."
"In my darkest hour, when I was on the verge of death, someone sustained my divine nature with their faint faith, keeping me from vanishing into nothingness."
"I watched from the darkness and knew many people loved her. I was the lowest and most insignificant of them all."
"But later, they scorned and belittled her, trampled her into the dirt. When she died, they missed her goodness, dressing her in the most exalted titles and honoring her with the most exquisite jewels."
"They made her the moon in the sky, and a name too sacred to speak."
"But I..."
"I wanted her to go on living."

[Pre-collection of "Bai Yueguang chose the monster evil god"↓] Mingxiao did good deeds throughout her life, but after her death she found out that she was the supporting female character in the storybook. The only meaning of her existence was to die in the arms of the male protagonist after her family was wiped out, making him unforgettable in this life. Tomorrow night, I will watch the male protagonist stepping on her bones and walking into the clouds, pretending to regard her as a white moonlight. Her evil thoughts and hatred were uncontrollable, and she vowed to take revenge if she was reincarnated. But the fact is that she buried her bones in the snowy field. She couldn't wait until Black and White Impermanence brought her reincarnation, but instead she waited for a thin young man. There was a heavy wind and snow that day. I sat on the monument tomorrow night and watched the tall, thin young man with a stooped back come staggering through the snow... And then dig open her tomb with his bare hands. From then on, the boy slept behind Mingxiao's tombstone during the day and warmed her bones at night. Until Mingxiao's body is reshaped and she is brought back to the world. Mingxiao and the young man, who had come back from the dead, looked at each other. Mingxiao asked the boy where he came from and where he was going. He didn't know any of the questions and just followed Mingxiao without saying a word. "Don't follow me." Mingxiao said. The young man's eyes turned red in panic, like a little beast without an owner. Mingxiao: "... Okay, what's your name?" The young man took a branch and wrote the word "Yan Wu" crookedly on the snow. Mingxiao kills demons and demons incognito, waiting for the moment to kill the male protagonist. Yanwu followed behind her. He ate little, had a good temper, and was very well-behaved and obedient. Until a certain danger, Yan Wu mistakenly thought that Mingxiao was dead, and countless black tentacles spread behind him, swallowing up demons and enemies indiscriminately. Only then did Mingxiao discover that he was the final villain in the book, a monster evil god who was murderous, sexually cruel, and should have died at the hands of the male protagonist. Seeing Mingxiao, the monster standing on the corpse came back to its senses, put away its dirty tentacles, turned back into a young man, and wiped the blood stains from the corners of its mouth in a panic: "Xiaoxiao..." "Are you full?" Mingxiao asked cautiously, "How about some more?" "I am an evil god who should not exist in the world." "In my darkest moment of death, someone used weak faith to maintain my godhead and prevent me from disappearing into nothingness." "I peered in the darkness and knew that there were many people who loved her, but I was the lowest and gloomiest one." "But later, they spurned her, despised her, and trampled her into the dust. When she died, they missed her kindness, decorated her with the most noble titles, and paid tribute to her with the most gorgeous pearls and jade." "They worshiped her as the moon in the sky and the indescribable." "And me." "I hope she continues to live."
I really like this book about rivals by the author. The memory lines are interspersed just right. I love the heroine and the hero. The young lovers will be together forever. I am also looking forward to the author's next book.
I really like the male and female protagonists, but I feel like the second part is too rushed and the pacing feels very fast. I like the first part.
It's very well written. This data shouldn't be right.
A super, super sweet short story, well written, and the ending ends abruptly, 🤷, I would prefer it if it was a longer story
Finished with flowers❀.(*´▽`*)❀
The relationship between the two makes me soft-hearted 🧋, but I feel like the plot could really be made longer hehe 😍 I like [sprinkle flowers] very much
Wow, it's so good. I didn't finish it last year, but now I've read it again. It's a very good enemy article 💛
So fast. It's almost half a year since I graduated. 2025 Is almost over. The columns that are certain in 2025 are still not updated. I don't know if you still remember the reason why the author stopped updating, but I feel that the author must still be very sad... It doesn't matter if 2025 is not good, as long as you live. I will wait until you can. Good luck and happiness to the author I like. I hope you are well. You will be able to do it one day.
