What Should I Do About How Much This Cathead Loves Me?

[The main story is complete. Bonus chapters will appear from time to time. My next book, How Could My Childhood Friend Possibly Be the Villain?, is open for collection.]

Her master told her:

The Ningyuan Marquis's heir has a questionable background and may be a great demon. Whoever gets him can dominate the demon-hunting world. But he's cold and distant, and hard to approach.

Shen Lingyu simply assumed a new identity as a legitimate daughter of the Shen family and married into the marquis's household, so she could keep a close eye on him.

And so, she saw:

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the heir made her a kite and pricked his finger five times. She scolded him soundly.

On the fourteenth day of the fifth month, the heir grilled fish for her, fell into the pond while fishing, and came down with a high fever.

On the fifteenth day of the fifth month, the useless heir still had a high fever.

On the seventeenth day...

One day, while the couple were out together, they happened upon an ancient scholar tree spirit causing trouble and harming people.

He hopped about and shouted uselessly, "Wife, save me!"

She stood by with a bright smile. "Bai Yuhe, why are there cat ears on your head?"

-

Shen Lingyu has an immortal body, and everyone says she was born to hunt demons.

She lives up to their expectations, wandering far and wide as she slays demons and monsters, expels evil spirits, upholds the righteous path, and protects all living beings.

She makes a name for herself in the demon-hunting world.

As she goes along, a rather noisy white cat joins her.

The white cat can't lift a hand or carry a burden. He's harmless and only knows how to act cute.

What's the point of keeping him around?

[Blurb]

Only after Lin Tingfeng died did she learn that she was the heroine of a cultivation novel.

But life had hardly gone smoothly for her, despite being the heroine.

She had trained hard from childhood, struggling through one challenge after another, until she finally reached the lofty gates of the immortal sects and became an inner disciple of the Xuanxu Sect. She thought the road to immortality would be smooth from then on, but in the end, it all came to nothing.

The demons invaded. Her master exhausted a century's worth of cultivation, her senior sister was gravely injured and fell unconscious, and even Jiang Xiaowu, the quiet boy who always obeyed her, died before her eyes.

When Lin Tingfeng awoke again, she found herself back on the day of the immortal sect entrance exams.

A voice told her that to stay alive, she had to stop the villain from falling into darkness. This was her last chance.

But she had no time to find out who the villain was.

Tingfeng: That should be easy enough.

She carefully studied the members of her sect and drew up a list of likely villains:

Target One: Her eldest senior brother, whose mental state is highly unstable from practicing swordsmanship all night.

Target Two: Her junior uncle, who fell from grace and lost all his cultivation.

Target Three: Her green-tea junior brother, who's in love with the eldest senior sister but can't have her.

As the targets' favorability scores shot up, Lin Tingfeng thought she was in the clear and could live to a ripe old age.

So... why was her childhood friend's face getting darker and darker?

Just as expected, the demons arrived. Their blood-red light stained the evening clouds, and Jiang Yanhui approached slowly with his long sword in hand. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms.

Then, with her in tow, he carved a bloody path through the ranks of demons.

Lin Tingfeng: What? Wait, this isn't how it went before!

*

When Jiang Yanhui first arrived in the human world, he was gravely wounded and had lost all five senses. She was the only one who stayed by his side.

At first, he thought that once he recovered, he would kill everyone who had seen him.

Later, as he cupped her face and gazed at her smiling features, he suddenly realized he didn't much care about going back to be the young lord of the demon clan.
