What Do I Do When I Like the Great Demon Lord?

[Preorder: A Thousand Gold Can't Buy a Daoist's Smile. Please add it to your favorites!]

Gentle but strong-willed little princess x free-spirited, uninhibited demon lord

-

Lu Huaixiu was the most doted-on little princess in the empire, cherished in the emperor's palm from the time she was a child.

Xue Jin was a demon lord feared throughout the martial world, leaving chaos and carnage wherever he went.

She grew up in the inner palace, while he roamed the martial world. The two of them were never supposed to cross paths.

Until Lu Huaixiu was forced to marry into another country. An accident struck on the journey, and Xue Jin, who happened to be passing by, found her.

The little princess, nearly killed, ran into the demon lord just after he had killed someone. The wheels of fate began to turn.

From then on, the demon lord had a little shadow trailing after him. The young man and woman roamed the martial world together, living freely and keeping each other company.

Demons and monsters? Ghosts and goblins? Clashing blades? Traps and schemes?

"If any of that scares you, remember that I'm right here beside you."

In the eyes of the righteous sects, Xue Jin was a demon lord who could do any terrible thing and still act like he didn't care what anyone thought.

In the eyes of the evil factions, Xue Jin was a little lunatic who did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.

But in Lu Huaixiu's eyes, Xue Jin was an absolute idiot.

This is a heart-stirring love story about an innocent young woman led astray by a demon lord (X)

This is a story about a domineering, handsome, and outrageously cool overpowered male lead who puts on a show and strikes a pose, only to end up falling into a ditch (check)

Reading guide:

1. High martial arts, low fantasy, with immortal and demon elements. Not traditional wuxia.

2. No Mary Sue heroine, no saccharine manufactured romance, and no melodramatic revenge-and-reconciliation arc.

Preorder: A Thousand Gold Can't Buy a Daoist's Smile. Blurb:

Domineering demon x aloof, beautiful Daoist priest

I'm a flower demon who hasn't yet taken human form.

Gradually, I fell for the little Daoist priest who came by every day to water me.

The Daoist wasn't just beautiful; he had a truly good heart, too. I admit, I fell hard.

To win my beloved as soon as possible, I put all my effort into diligent practice every day.

Three years later, I finally perfected my cultivation and successfully took human form.

The Daoist stared at the woman who had suddenly appeared, dumbfounded.

Standing before him, I lifted my pretty, flower-like face and smiled sweetly. "Master, don't you remember me?"

Fair-skinned, beautiful Daoist priest x sweet-faced but secretly sinister flower demon who makes the first move

One-on-one / pure love / happy ending / first love for both / guaranteed sweetness
