My Archrival Keeps Trying to Be My Dad

[Socially anxious female protagonist x irreverent Ghost Emperor of Fengdu male protagonist]

Blurb:

Gongyu Tu was the founding ancestor of the immortal sects, but she was harmed by someone and her body was destroyed in one fell swoop.

Her soul possessed the young lord of Fengdu, who had just been brought home.

Everyone across the land knew that she and the Great Emperor of Fengdu, Qi Huai, had fought for tens of thousands of years. They had always been evenly matched, locked in a fight to the death, and neither had ever yielded to the other.

But she never imagined that one day the man who had wanted to peel her skin and tear out her sinews would bend at the waist, his peach-blossom eyes gleaming as he gazed at her tenderly.

Gongyu Tu's scalp tingled.

But the next instant, she heard him say fondly, "Call me Daddy."

Gongyu Tu: I want to die.

What made her want to die even more was discovering that she needed one of Qi Huai's demonic hearts to rebuild her immortal body.

Everyone knew the Great Emperor of Fengdu had been heartless since ancient times. The only way he could grow a heart was to become lovesick.

So she could only endure the humiliation, using everything she had learned in her life to stick close to Qi Huai while cursing him every day.

Thanks to her tireless efforts, the day her immortal body was restored soon arrived. To make her escape, she left behind a love letter about unrequited love, then went to her death with a clear conscience and returned refreshed to the immortal sects.

A few days later, the gates of the underworld swung open and Fengdu attacked the immortal sects, breaking through checkpoint after checkpoint. They said he was only looking for one person.

Amid the dark clouds, his lazy voice sent shivers through everyone. "You have a soul-binding curse I planted in you. Want to die? It won't be that easy."

A moment later, he continued in a low, coaxing voice, "Come out. Don't make me go in and drag you out."

Gongyu Tu, who had been pretending not to hear, lowered her head and looked at the curse mark glowing red on her wrist: ?

She had escaped, and yet somehow hadn't escaped at all.

*Setting: The Lord of Demons was conceived by heaven and earth, so the female protagonist's childlike body has no blood relation whatsoever to the male protagonist.
