魔尊动情,三界安宁

Synopsis
Not abandoned. I'll update more later~
An innocent little bamboo spirit who turns dark and goes mad later × a great demon lord, demonized by others, who cares deeply for all living beings~
After Cang Yuan, Lord of the Underworld, died, the Three Realms celebrated the death of the evil demon king who had done nothing but commit atrocities. But in the thousand-plus years after his death, countless people began to miss the days when he was still alive.
When Cang Yuan died, his primordial spirit scattered completely. When he awoke again, he had lost his true form and his spirit was in tatters. With no other choice, he possessed a little fox, where he was bullied mercilessly.
If Heaven insists he's a great demon, then so be it: he'll join the demonic path. One day, he'll destroy the Ninth Heaven and that bamboo spirit who'd been throwing her weight around over him.
Ling Yin never dreamed that the little fox she picked up, when she was just a lowly bamboo spirit, would turn out to be a great demon.
The worst part was, she'd bullied the little fox more than once.
Ling Yin's greatest dream was to cultivate to immortality. Cang Yuan scoffed. What's the point of ascending to become an immortal? Come with me and flatten the Hall of the Celestial Emperor. You can pick any immortal title you like.
What Ling Yin didn't know was that for lowly creatures without power or status, the price of ascending to immortality was cruel. To attain the Dao, she would have to kill her husband.
I will guide you to immortality. I will enter the demonic path for you.
That day, Ling Yin killed her husband to attain the Dao and ascended to immortality. The goddess returned, and all under Heaven celebrated. Meanwhile, in the City of Fengdu in the Ninth Underworld, the dead King of the Underworld returned.
Only later did Ling Yin learn that the dragon-slaying youth who had cared for all living beings had never become a dragon himself.
A robe of pure white does not always mean innocence, and dwelling in darkness does not mean one is evil. If Heaven only cares about the world and not its people, then Heaven has no reason to exist.
A prosperous age must come at someone's expense? Fine. Now it's your turn to pay the price.
When immortals fall in love, the Three Realms fall into chaos.
When the Demon Lord falls in love, all under Heaven find peace.
Upcoming novel: The Regency Struggle
Princess Yuke, the eldest princess of Great Yong, was destined from birth to marry into Great Zhou. Her great-aunt had once been the regent empress dowager of Great Zhou, a woman of immense power and influence.
Yuke grew up surrounded by the schemes and rivalries of the imperial harem. To stay alive, she proceeded cautiously and used every trick she could. Her life's ambition was to become a woman like her great-aunt.
By chance, she met Ning Xiuci, a spirited young general. He became infatuated with her, then she turned around and sold him off, using the enormous fortune she gained as her dowry.
On the journey to her political marriage, Ning Xiuci volunteered to escort her. The once-spirited young man had lost all his former vitality, his eyes dark and gloomy.
Later, the young general vanished, replaced by Ning, the ruthless chief grand secretary.
Yuke finally became empress dowager, wielding her influence to support the eunuchs and expand the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. But the scholar-official faction, led by Ning Xiuci, opposed her at every turn.
The regency struggle was a battle for their lives and livelihoods, a contest over the future of their country.
Ning Xiuci held the powerful position of chief grand secretary, and the scholar-official faction and the empress dowager's faction were at each other's throats.
Her trusted ministers advised her: "Lord Ning, the empress dowager will leave the palace tomorrow to pray for blessings. We can ambush her on the way."
So her trusted ministers were demoted overnight and banished from the capital.
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard plotted: "Your Majesty, I've laid an ambush along Chief Grand Secretary Ning's route home. We can kill him and eliminate a future threat."
So the commander was exposed for accepting bribes and abusing his power to cause deaths. The next day, he was dismissed, his property confiscated, and he was thrown into prison.
Before long, the people of the imperial capital began to notice something was off. The empress dowager's faction and the scholar-official faction were fighting tooth and nail over the regency, but somehow the court was becoming more honest and harmonious.
Yuke held power in her hands, driving a host of scholar-officials to despair. A grand academician even cursed her out loud: "In every dynasty, women have brought down the country. A beauty is a calamity, bringing disaster to the state and ruin to its people. How can Great Zhou allow a woman to control the court?"
Yuke laughed when she heard this. "The grand academician speaks the truth. That's why women in power don't pose that danger. And don't worry, if I ever make a mistake, I'll take full responsibility. I won't blame you men."
Those who offended the literati had always ended up ruined in body and reputation. Even her great-aunt, Empress Dowager Ci'an, had worked herself to the bone and still ended up with a terrible reputation. But Yuke was an exception, because Chief Grand Secretary Ning, the foremost scholar-official, was always there to clear her name.
The heroine is a thoroughly black-hearted schemer who stops at nothing to get what she wants. She truly loves the hero, but she loves power just as much.
The hero is loyal to his sovereign and devoted to his country, but he loves the heroine even more. She's always scheming against him early on, but one taste of sweetness is enough to make him soften.
The heroine is not a virgin. The hero is a virgin.
Theme: Keep your heart turned toward the light and work hard to grow stronger~
