Yes, the Demon Lord and I Have a Child

Hua Yi died suddenly after staying up all night. A very predictable beginning.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was like a slab of pork hanging in a market, bound to an execution platform and at the mercy of her executioners. She heard the disciples around her whispering:

The Demon Lord's beloved is here. He'll surely come to his death!

Hua Yi: Who? Me?

*

Just as the execution was about to begin, a slender figure rushed over and took every blow for her, pierced through the heart by a thousand swords. Hua Yi trembled as she caught the handsome young man, his face deathly pale. Blood spilled from his mouth, and he had little time left.

Everyone cried, "It's the Demon Lord, Chi Yu!"

The sword formation had nearly torn his internal organs apart, but he didn't care. He silently used his pale, slender fingers to gently wipe the blood from Hua Yi's face. In a soft voice, he said, "I'm sorry. I came too late."

Hua Yi's face was streaked with tears. She wanted to speak, but stopped herself.

Handsome, you really did come too late. Your wife has already been taken over by me!

--Second Blurb--

Other transmigrators spend all their time falling in love and pursuing male leads or villains.

Hua Yi did nothing after transmigrating. Her husband died as soon as she arrived, and she became a pretty widow fleeing with a child. She struggled to survive, working herself to the bone to raise her stepson, only to kick the bucket before she could enjoy the fruits of her labor.

Hua Yi: It wasn't hard work. My life was just hard.

Who could have guessed that after she died, her rebellious son would go astray? In order to bring Hua Yi back to life, he followed in his father's footsteps and became the next generation's Demon Lord. The so-called righteous sects were just as deranged. Thinking they could make the Demon Lord give up for good by eliminating the root of the problem, they spared no effort to find Hua Yi's grave and dig it up.

Hua Yi's coffin lid couldn't hold her down any longer. She woke right up on the spot.

Her baffled, elderly mother: ...

By the time the Demon Lord arrived, Hua Yi's body had already been destroyed. One wisp of her soul unexpectedly drifted into a sword sect. When she opened her eyes again, she had become an outer sect disciple at the bottom of the food chain.

But that's not the point. The point is that the second senior brother, a refined and gentle man who hides a knife behind his smile, is actually... well, you can't say he's exactly the same as the former Demon Lord, her husband who died many years ago.

He's practically the same person.

Ji Yanzhu: I heard you... (have a crush on me).

Hua Yi: Yes. You and I once had a child.

Ji Yanzhu: ? Don't you fucking make things up.

#The male lead is a perfect graduate of the School of Male Virtue. The female lead is the original owner of the body: what seems like transmigration is actually a return. So, technically, I'm NTRing myself
