After Binding the Wrong Conquest System, the Demon Lord Conquered Himself

Pairings: Upright, sweet pepper x villain with a love-struck brain / black-bellied little salted fish x sharp-tongued, soft-hearted careerist

After years of waiting to marry, Ying Ruzhuo died suddenly. Before she went, she vowed that in her next life she'd enjoy herself and fall into a sweet romance.

She had barely closed her eyes when she realized she seemed to have transmigrated into a book.

She had landed in a cultivation novel about strange creatures she'd recently read, as a minor cannon-fodder character with the same name as her, the daughter of the head of the Yunzhong Sect.

Her original body's owner was a delicate beauty. Ying Ruzhuo was secretly delighted, thinking she could lie flat and slack off... until then.

Can someone tell me what this Dragon-Born System is supposed to be?!

Ying Ruzhuo, born to toil, possessed of the Peony Saint Physique: Damn it!

She got angry for a moment, and that was that (〃>皿<)!!!

With tears in her eyes, she packed her things and set off to fight monsters and level up.

Demon Lord Ying Wuxu was feared throughout the Three Realms, a bloodthirsty, merciless asura who killed without batting an eye.

One day, his cultivation went awry, and he nearly exploded.

But he was saved by something called the Romance System.

Xiao Ai: [Host, please claim your Romance Handbook, and let's begin our sweet romantic journey~]

Ying Wuxu: "Get lost."

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Gentle Xiao Ai smiled sweetly: [Rule one of the Romance Handbook: Be a gentleman. You mustn't use foul language with girls~]

"..."

[Please take a look at the love interest you need to win over~]

"..."

Controlled by an unknown force, Ying Wuxu could only lie low. He glanced at the delicate beauty, so weak he could kill her with one hand.

Once he got rid of this ridiculous System, he'd destroy this world with one blow.

The Demon Lord at first: I want to kill you.

The Demon Lord later: (wagging his big tail) (looking at her hopefully) Don't you love me anymore?... You haven't smiled at me all day... (looking pitiful)

Ying Ruzhuo, heartless and dazed: Go away, go away. I'm cultivating the Heartless Dao.

Falling in love will only slow down how fast I can draw my blade!

A serious malfunction struck the Tianxing System Distribution Center. The System was assigning a mission to a Host...

The Romance System, Xiao Ai, successfully came online: [Congratulations, Host! You've been bound to the Romance System. I'm your love mentor...]

Huh?

Why is its Host a man?

And a terrifying demon lord at that?!

*

[System connection successful. Congratulations, Lord Jun, you have successfully bound to the Dragon-Born System. I am your...]

Huh?

Why has my Host turned into a delicate beauty?!

Wasn't he supposed to be an all-conquering Dragon-Born hero?

#Oops, the System bound to the wrong people! What should I do? Asking for help online!#

#Whatever, a mistake is a mistake. Let's roll with it.#

#A mix-up caused by a malfunction forces the Demon Lord into romance.#

#What happens when the Demon Lord gets a Romance Handbook...#

#The Dragon-Born hero bends for love.#

#The daily life of taming an unruly big puppy.#
