Could You Try Being a Decent Person?

Humans want to cultivate immortality, while demons want to become fiends.

But Yaoqin, a short-lived butterfly demon, only wanted to cultivate into a human and live a few decades longer.

To make this wish come true, she went to Lintian Sect, where she could shed her demon bones and become human. She hid her gender and became a disciple of the sect.

She was the hardest-working of the new disciples. She got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog, all to earn the right to practice Bone Refinement and shed her demon bones to become a true human.

One day, an accident revealed her secret to Yun Yifei, the sect's senior brother.

To keep him from exposing her, she "volunteered" to serve him tea, pour him water, massage his waist, and rub his shoulders every day.

Yun Yifei: "Junior Brother, my birthday is coming up. What are you going to give me?"

Yaoqin: "Senior Brother, may I send you straight to heaven?"

Yun Yifei's smile slowly vanished. Under his gaze, Yaoqin went and scrubbed every latrine in Lintian Sect.

On Yun Yifei's birthday, Yaoqin gave him a cocoon garment made from the silk she left behind each year when she shed her cocoon.

He pretended to dislike it, but secretly wore it beneath his clothes.

Yaoqin knew that every time she went through the danger of shedding her cocoon, Yun Yifei would secretly stay by her side.

The senior brother knew she was a demon, but didn't know she was a girl.

Yaoqin wondered: Could this senior brother be into men?

In fact, Yun Yifei knew far more than she imagined.
