Half-Demon, but a Real Fighter

Question: How does a half-demon survive in troubled times?

Ordinary half-demons: Keep your head down!

Extraordinary half-demons: Fight!

Su Miao was one of those extraordinary half-demons.

But with humans ostracizing half-demons and demons hunting them, simply staying alive was hard enough. And she wanted to stir up trouble?

Her kind were timid and quickly disowned her.

Her fiance thought she was insane and cut ties with her.

They even severed her wings and drove her from the village, wishing she would just die already.

Su Miao learned her lesson the hard way and sharpened her sword.

There's no problem that can't be solved with violence.

And if there is, then you weren't violent enough.

"Fight." One word was all it took. She specialized in making people submit.

Later, stories of a half-demon spread through the mortal realm, the demon world, the martial world, and the imperial court...

They all said she was a pretty great half-demon.

She hadn't expected to do so well, either.

Friends from every walk of life: Our Miao Miao is the best person in the world!

Ex-fiance, weeping bitterly: Miao Miao, can we start over?

A half-demon with a fortune: Come work with me. All this wealth could be yours.

Martial arts prodigy: To hell with the sword path. You are the only thing I want to pursue for the rest of my life!

Demon Emperor, furious: Do you think I'm dead or something?!

Reader's guide:

1. The setting is entirely made up.

2. The story gets a little messy later on. Don't read if that bothers you.

3. The male lead is strong, but he won't steal the spotlight. At first he wants to strangle the heroine. Later, he just wants her to strangle him.

Currently updating: The Years I Took the Heir for a Ride

Though Ah Yin was born to a modest family, she never wanted for food or clothes, and grew up with a sunny, carefree life.

But life's storms always come, sooner or later.

A crisis at home called for a huge sum of money. To earn it, Ah Yin sold herself to the Prince of Yong's household and began a life of backbreaking labor.

On her very first day there, the heir got kicked in the head by a donkey... No, by a horse, and was left thoroughly addled.

--

From then on, the heir became terribly forgetful. He'd just rewarded her, then immediately forget and reward her all over again.

Ah Yin had her eye on the money and swindled him out of quite a lot. The family's financial troubles were soon resolved, her parents were eager for her to come home, and there was still her marriage to her childhood sweetheart to arrange.

Ah Yin packed her things and prepared to go home.

Before she could even shoulder her bundle, the heir produced a ledger. "You swindled me out of one hundred and eight taels of silver, plus a string of golden bells..."

He slapped the ledger down and gazed at her with a crooked smile. "So, what are you going to use to pay me back?"

Ah Yin: "..." W-was this entrapment?

--

At a young age, the Prince of Yong's heir had already won great victories in battle. He was bold, confident, and fond of showing off.

His showing off got him caught up in the power struggles at court.

After plenty of self-reflection, the heir decided to play dumb, scheme quietly, and withdraw before it was too late.

On the first day of playing dumb, a young maid arrived at his home and genuinely thought he was a gullible fool with money to burn. She came up with all sorts of ways to swindle him.

And, well, he got used to being swindled. His money box was replenished as quickly as she emptied it, and it was never left bare.

When he heard the girl planned to leave once she'd swindled enough money from him and marry someone else, tsk, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

"The wretch! She's barely chipped a corner off the mountain of gold in this house, and she wants to quit halfway!"
