Er Qing never imagined that her poor but peaceful life could one day be suddenly turned upside down.
She made a deal with the White Moonlight System: she would win someone over, and the System would save her entire clan.
When she first arrived at Taiyin Sect, Yu Ming flew over on his sword, gentle and modest, dressed in flowing white, like an immortal descended from heaven.
Er Qing (excited): Isn't this just my lucky day!
Just as she was about to see her seduction plan through, she accidentally saw Yu Ming enter the demon-locking cage.
The underground cage was dim, torches flickering eternally on the walls like eerie ghost eyes.
The elegant, moonlit man wore a cold expression. His beautiful hand pierced a demon's belly and pulled out its core, still smeared with sticky blood. He opened his mouth and swallowed it, then licked his lips in satisfaction. His eyes were bloodred, his expression cruel and ghostly.
Er Qing (a demon herself): ??? Isn't this just my lucky day!
Trembling, Er Qing immediately put the little demon's survival rules into action!
If you can't beat them...
1. “Senior Brother is so amazing, just as you'd expect!”
2. “I'll give my all for Senior Brother! I'll always be loyal to you!”
3. “I'll give you my sincerity in exchange for yours. No matter what happens, I'll always be on your side!”
Behind his back...
“Senior Sister, please teach me sword flying!”
“Senior Brother, please teach me the Shangqing Sword Style!”
“Junior Brother, don't forget me when Master gives you private lessons!”
“What? There are immortal herbs in the valley to the east? I'll pick them!”
“Spirit stones in the river to the west? I'll dig them up!”
“Come to me, heavenly treasures, come to me... treasures, come to me from every direction!”
If you can beat them...
1. “You're strong, but how am I any worse?”
2. “Give my all for you? Do you deserve it?”
3. “Trade sincerity for sincerity? Sorry, I have no heart.”
Taiyin Sect has a famous senior disciple named Yu Ming.
He is refined and elegant, gentle as jade, neither servile nor arrogant, and unfailingly courteous. He is a man with the grace of a bright moon.
No one knows that he is a half-demon.
Life at Taiyin Sect was dull. One day, he came across an Ershu mouse who had stumbled onto his secret.
From then on, his dull days became more entertaining.
She seemed timid and humble, but was actually slick and full of little schemes.
That was all right. She was a decent servant.
When the weather turned cold, she would bring him a coat.
The moment his fingers moved, she would bring him tea.
She could make all sorts of human food. It looked awful, but was edible.
When he was in a bad mood, she would make little trinkets to cheer him up.
This servant, who pleased him so much, secretly cultivated and plotted her escape.
He had made a name for himself when he was young and possessed peerless cultivation. No one had ever escaped his grasp.
But Yu Ming never imagined she would actually succeed.
An underling reported, “A mighty demon has appeared out of nowhere in the northern region. She looks exactly like the woman in the Lord's portrait.”
Yu Ming's heart leapt. He rushed to the northern region without stopping, day or night.
Mist curled through the air. The woman he had longed for stood in red, her robes fluttering. Yu Ming reached out to her. “Little demon, come back with me. I'll let the past go.”
Er Qing smiled brightly. “You'll let the past go? Yu Ming, you don't get to call the shots anymore...”
Note:
1. Happy ending, both sexually inexperienced.
2. My own take on cultivation, with mountains of original worldbuilding. Please don't scrutinize it too closely.

Everyone knows that Jiang Ruyue and Senior Brother Linyue of Wangxian Sect are passionately in love. Everyone is waiting for them to live happily together and grow old side by side.
Jiang Ruyue is waiting for that day, too.
But she never expected that the day she would see was the day Senior Brother Linyue cultivated the merciless path and fell into demonic cultivation...
That day, the Demon Lord Linyue stormed Wangxian Sect, severed the tendons in his former teacher's hands and feet and hung him above the sect, then cut down the fellow disciples who had once fought at his side...
Only then did she understand that what he loved most was the power to rule over all!
With the sect destroyed, the Demon Lord sat in the sect leader's seat. He rested his long fingers against his brow and looked down at her from on high.
“In consideration of our former love, I'll let you go today.”
Jiang Ruyue left Wangxian Sect in despair, riding in a carriage to a barren mountain.
A young man sat atop the mountain, his eyes as lifeless as the barren land.
The instant he saw her, light gathered in his eyes.
“Miss... I feel like we've met somewhere before?”
The barren mountain began to turn green, and spiritual herbs sprang up everywhere. It was clear the young man was extraordinary.
After Jiang Ruyue recovered her strength, the young man chased after her as she prepared to leave. “Are you going back for revenge? Could I come with you?”
The young man had never left the mountain and had no idea where he came from.
But Jiang Ruyue felt strangely familiar to him, as though they had known each other for hundreds of years.
Gradually, Jiang Ruyue realized he was very much like someone.
The young, uncorrupted Immortal Venerable Linyue...
Jiang Ruyue: Gu Changqing... if you really are him, should I kill you? Or what?
The moment Gu Changqing opened his eyes, he was already on the mountain.
There was nothing there but rocks and a few spirits.
He had no father or mother, didn't know where he came from, and spent every day sitting on the peak and staring in a certain direction.
He didn't know why.
He just felt that something in that direction was pulling at his heart.
Finally, one day,
a carriage slowly approached. A lovely young woman with a face like peach blossoms stepped down. She seemed unwell, her full lips faintly pale.
One glance was all it took for her to capture Gu Changqing's heart.
He understood.
She was the woman he'd been waiting for...
When she said she wanted revenge, he followed her without hesitation.
When they arrived at Wangxian Sect, the Demon Lord Linyue she had spoken of looked down on everything from above.
In an instant, Gu Changqing felt a resonance with the Immortal Venerable inside him.
The Immortal Venerable Linyue sneered. “So that's who it is. You're a fragment of the emotional soul I cast off...”
When she learned the truth, she tried to run. Gu Changqing gripped her wrist and cornered her in a cramped alcove, the corners of his eyes red. “I'm not him! You are not allowed to leave me! If you don't believe me, I'll kill him myself!”
(If the twenty-eight-year-old me doesn't love you, then the eighteen-year-old me will go back and kill him!)
(I see all living things as grass and trees, but you alone are a green mountain.)
True love never dies!
Theme: What happens depends on what we do.
It's so cold in the comment section (I picked up a leaf and covered myself with it, and slept peacefully)
Thanks for the limited exemption. It's great to be able to finish writing it [Spread Flowers]
It's basically certain that the man in black is pregnant with Xiuyu, maybe Yuyou
Why do you design the heroine to be so stupid? In the past, I thought it was okay to please the hero in order to survive. But this time, someone wanted to harm her, which backfired on her. She went out of her way to save others, causing injuries to her classmates and friends. I am speechless =_=
Actually, I also want to kill the male protagonist hahahahahaha
Does the heroine like the hero? I think she can kill him
Yu Lean is too good, ugh
I didn't check all the medicines when they arrived... It's a bit outrageous
What I wrote yesterday was not very good. Please revise it.
Does the heroine really do nothing? Even a little bit is okay, I hope there will be a reversal Otherwise, my glassy heart really won't be able to stand it anymore. I originally thought that the heroine would be a bit like Zhang Chulan, but it seems that she is not the scheming type...
