[Cool and aloof dog-loving heroine X peerlessly handsome, short-tempered loyal dog]
Many years ago, the Immortal Alliance stole the Demon Realm's greatest treasure. In a single night, not a blade of grass remained in the Demon Realm, and its people nearly faced total annihilation. The demons could only survive by absorbing demonic energy, which made them even more irritable and uneasy.
Years later, the newly come-of-age Demon Lord Hao Yuan went undercover at Kunlun Sword Sect, the foremost sect in the Immortal Realm. As he plotted his revenge, he also set out to sow discord between Senior Sister Miaoqing Xuan, who was said to be in charge of the treasure, and her fiance.
His doglike eyes darted about as he spoke in a coy, manipulative tone: "Senior Sister, why is it that Senior Brother is willing to take Junior Sister to the plum grove to practice swordplay at midnight, but won't teach me even a single move?"
Miaoqing Xuan looked at his slightly curled hair, which reminded her so much of the little dog that had run away from her. She rubbed her hands together in secret. "Then come to my mountain, and I'll teach you, Junior Brother."
Hao Yuan sneered inwardly at Miaoqing Xuan's foolishness for daring to invite a dog into her home, but he had yet to learn how devious people could be.
Once he arrived at her mountain, she didn't teach him swordsmanship. Instead, she made him learn something called the power of the earth.
He had no choice but to spend every day clearing land and farming. He planted every kind of vegetable, grain, medicinal herb, and flower, and even had to dig fishponds, build houses, and forge iron tools.
At last, one day, he found his chance and angrily abducted Miaoqing Xuan to the Demon Realm.
But instead of bringing back a captive, he had brought the Demon Realm a foreman who supervised them as they farmed and built things every day.
The demons couldn't beat Miaoqing Xuan, so they had no choice but to swallow their complaints and toil in the fields alongside their Demon Lord day after day.
In the end, however, they not only filled their bellies and improved their cultivation, but also created a paradise and grew a new supreme treasure.
Miaoqing Xuan's daily dog-training routine:
In the morning, she takes the big black dog Demon Lord for a walk, checks on the progress and results of their farming and construction work, and watches him develop a burning passion for labor.
Afterward, she feeds him a delicious breakfast and sends him off to work.
In the morning, she watches from the edge of the field as his bare arms flex with effort, beads of sweat glistening on them, and rereads The Complete Guide to Dog Training over and over.
She feeds him a delicious lunch, along with occasional pastries, fruit, shaved ice, and other treats.
At dusk, she walks home hand in hand with the Demon Lord in his human form, letting him secretly enjoy the envious looks of the other demons.
She feeds him a delicious dinner, bathes and brushes him, plays with him, cultivates with him, gives him a goodnight kiss, and falls asleep beside him.
Besides that, she occasionally visits the Immortal Alliance as a guest and makes them obediently compensate the demons and apologize, all to cheer up her little dog, whose face gets sour from farming.
And so, in less than a few years, the oversized, fierce dog of a Demon Lord became a well-behaved puppy who followed his wife's pace on walks, obeyed her in everything, and was exceptionally good at farming.
One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other, happy ending.
The male lead is the little dog the female lead used to keep.
For special reasons, the female lead's combat power is off the charts, and she is immune to attacks from the demons.
The male lead is a Bking, but the Demon Realm has a vulnerability now that its supreme treasure is gone. The demons are also restricted from leaving the Demon Realm, so they cannot directly attack the Immortal Alliance.
Theme: Believe in the earth, believe in labor.
