Has the Demon King Joined the Immortal Ranks Today?

Bai Liming was a demon king.

A demon king who loved peace and was dedicated to leading the demon realm in building a wonderful home.

But her kingdom-building venture was cut short halfway through. She was assassinated, and her soul went to the underworld.

The underworld judge congratulated her: “You accumulated quite a lot of good karma in life. If nothing goes wrong, you’ll be reborn as an immortal in your next life.”

Being granted a place among the immortals was a tremendous honor for a demon. But, as it happened, Bai Liming’s path to immortality in her next life did go wrong.

Apparently, a certain immortal lord had stubbornly blocked it.

At first glance, the immortal lord was simply stunning. Looking closer, Bai Liming suddenly realized: wasn’t this Lu Shou, the foremost immortal of the celestial realm and her childhood friend whom she hadn’t seen in years?

Perhaps their childhood friendship had been as bland as water, and she had fallen into demonic ways, so there was no reason for the great Immortal Lord Lu to feel sorry for her. Whatever, whatever. She wasn’t going to hold it against him.

As if!

Bai Liming was furious. How could this be allowed?

In a fit of rage, she leaped into the River of Rebirth and was reborn with her memories intact.

In this life, she would not only cut ties with Lu Shou, but also revive her great work of bringing peace to the demon realm.

But...

One day, Bai Liming walked into her home and came face to face with a young Lu Shou, covered in dust and grime.

Bai Liming: “...”

Perhaps some people and some things are simply impossible to avoid.

If that was the case, Lu Shou could walk his own broad road to success. Bai Liming had her own narrow path to tread.

All she wanted was to protect her family and friends in the chaos to come, and do everything she could to bring peace to the world.

Their innocent, tender youth ended in the midst of war. Bai Liming set Lu Shou on the path to immortality, then turned around and plunged into the demon realm once more.

Unlike her previous life, when she had struggled through hardships and ended up battered and bruised, she now avoided those trials and misfortunes, with family and friends by her side. Everything that followed came naturally: cultivating demonic arts, defeating the demon king and taking his place, suppressing the opposition, and reforming the demon realm’s culture...

It sounded absurd, but Bai Liming succeeded.

The demon realm flourished, and the conflicts among the three realms came to an end. For her contributions, the demon king Bai Liming was recognized as the greatest. The celestial realm summoned her and granted her a place among the immortals while she was still the demon king.

At last, Bai Liming and Lu Shou reunited after a long separation.

Her life remained as passionate and radiant as ever, while his temperament had grown more reserved and mild after a century of secluded cultivation. He was nowhere near as likable as Bai Liming, and certainly not someone Bai Liming would like... apart from that face, which was worth a second look.

His face...

Lu Shou lightly touched his cheek with his fingertips.

Maybe all Bai Liming had ever liked was his appearance.
