[Super sweet, swoon-worthy story. I'll polish the title and blurb when I start posting. Anyway, this one is all about getting with an absolutely gorgeous, dazzling Demon King.]
Qiao Qiao had stayed up all night rushing to finish her paper. When she opened her eyes again, she was shocked to find herself wearing a red wedding dress and sitting in a bright-red bridal sedan. Across from her, her sobbing elder stepsister was about to be sent with her to bring good fortune to the brutal Demon King.
Qiao Qiao immediately realized she'd transmigrated into a historical, old-school melodramatic romance novel, as the titular heroine Su Qiaoqiao, a concubine-born daughter with the same name.
According to the plot, Su Qiaoqiao and her elder stepsister, the villainess, are both captured by an enemy nation during a time of war. They're about to be thrown into the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, where the sleeping Demon King lies, to be sacrificed in a blood ritual to bring him good fortune. At this critical moment, the male lead, who is also her fiance, finally leads his troops to rescue them, but in the chaos, he only saves her stepsister. Su Qiaoqiao is taken away by the enemy nation and cruelly abused by its ruthless ruler. After finally managing to return to her homeland, she discovers that her former fiance has fallen in love with her stepsister, who sees her as a thorn in her side and repeatedly tries to tear out her heart and kidneys. Only when Su Qiaoqiao is down to her last breath does the male lead finally realize her stepsister's poisonous nature. He sends the stepsister to the cold palace, then holds Su Qiaoqiao and weeps with regret. Su Qiaoqiao is moved and forgives him, and they get their happy ending.
Qiao Qiao: ...
Qiao Qiao: Eyes shaking in terror!!
Help! Mom! She wants to go back to Earth!!!
So when the male lead, clad in armor and holding her stepsister as they sat together on horseback, looks at her, Qiao Qiao doesn't think twice. Under his furious, wide-eyed gaze, she turns and jumps into the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
Having her heart and lungs ripped out is out of the question. She'd rather die on the spot!
With that resolve, Qiao Qiao jumps into the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
She thinks she'll die on the spot, but she doesn't.
In the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, ghosts wail, all things wither, and there is... the oldest and most terrifying Demon King in the world.
Qiao Qiao's bright red wedding dress is torn. She sits on the ground in a sorry heap, staring blankly as black mist rolls out of the abyss and gradually forms a long-fingered, pale hand.
He has long, black hair softer than silk, jewel-like crimson eyes, and a face of extreme, decadent beauty, cold and capable of holding all the terrifying power in the world.
He studies his beautiful, pale hand with languid tenderness. Only after a long while does he lower his head and turn a gaze that sees her as a dead thing upon her.
Qiao Qiao: ...
Qiao Qiao: …
Help! Mom! She has to go back to Earth right now, immediately, this instant!!!
