I'm with Her for the Peace of the Three Realms

A thousand years ago, the God of Desire was consumed by his own desires, bringing devastation to all living beings in the Three Realms. Lord Qinglian led the gods in sealing the Realm of Desire, putting an end to the catastrophe.

Yet he sought no reward. Instead, he resigned from the Heavenly Court and went into seclusion among mortals. Rumor had it in the Celestial Realm that he had suffered grave injuries and needed time to recover.

What no one knew was that, before the God of Desire died, he had left tears of desire in a lotus pond somewhere in the mortal realm. Lord Qinglian had gone there to use his own divine power to purify the waters of desire, keeping at it day after day for a thousand years.

But one day, when he returned home, he found every flower in the pond closed, and a stunning young woman lying on his bed. Her robes drifted like pink lotus petals, and her limpid eyes brimmed with an allure that stirred desire. She had taken shape from a lotus and fed on desire.

"Oh dear, I've cultivated into a demon and I'm no longer under your control. Are you going to kill me, Immortal Lord?"

After hearing Lord Qinglian tell her for the umpteenth time that love would make her happier than desire, Yin Ling was at her wit's end.

She knew his heart held a great love for all living beings. But she had experienced delights beyond even the gods' imaginings in the tears of desire. How could she possibly be moved by a love so vague and intangible?

She threw tantrums time and again, even fighting him with magic, yet Lord Qinglian continued to treat her tenderly, cherishing her in the palm of his hand. The only thing he forbade was leaving the house to absorb the desires of mortals.

But her nature was being suppressed, and she accidentally dealt Qinglian a grievous wound. Realizing what she had done, she gave him her breath mouth to mouth.

The moment he opened his eyes and kissed her, she suddenly felt a sweetness and bliss she had never known before.

Afterward.

Blushing slightly, she said earnestly, "If you kiss me once every day, I might be willing to stay by your side forever."

She was a desire demon, incapable of feeling love, but she was fascinated by her lust for him.

It was a desire free of all distractions, purer and sweeter than any other desire in the world. By comparison, everyone else's desires seemed dull and tasteless.

Lord Qinglian: "...All right."

Reader's guide:

1. The male lead falls first. The female lead doesn't distinguish love from desire. At first, she lusts after his body, but gradually falls in love with him. One-on-one romance, first love for both, happy ending.

2. The male lead falls for the female lead early on, but knowing she is a desire demon, he fears his own lust might repulse her, so he keeps it bottled up.

3. The female lead is a desire demon who has witnessed the desires of all things throughout time and across the universe, so she understands everything. She was already an adult when she first came into being. Though she has seen much, she only knows about it; her nature is still innocent and straightforward, much like any other newly born demon.

4. The female lead inherited the divine power of the Realm of Desire and was infused with the male lead's divine power for a thousand years. As a result, her power is immense. By the later chapters, she is the strongest character in the story, capable of going anywhere and doing anything. Even the Heavenly Emperor cannot defeat her.
