Qu Fusang is the Saintess of the Demon Realm. In reality, she only holds the title and has no real authority. She is a good-for-nothing when it comes to cultivation, with nothing but her beauty to recommend her, yet she has never had to endure much hardship.
She has the puppet left to her by the previous ruler of the Demon Realm, her father, to thank for that.
Whenever some ignorant nobody came looking for trouble, Qu Fusang would point a slender finger and say, "A Jin, go beat him up!"
The nobody would flee in a miserable state, crying all the way.
Whenever she was in a bad mood and went to a human town without any money to spend, Qu Fusang never panicked. "A Jin, find a way to earn some spirit stones."
An incense stick later, Qu Fusang would be luxuriating in a fine hot spring strewn with flower petals, living like a celestial being.
The puppet could even help Qu Fusang avoid a political marriage. Pointing at Wen Zhijin, who stood beside her with perfect features and cultivation on par with a Nascent Soul cultivator, she would say, "Sorry, A Jin is my minimum standard. Surely you can't be worse than him?"
The many suitors who had queued all the way from the Demon Palace to the Demon Mound: "...We'll be going, then."
With Wen Zhijin by her side, Qu Fusang spent seventeen carefree years.
One day, however, a powerful cultivator from the cultivation world came to her door and said that a calamity was about to befall the world, and only she could avert it.
Qu Fusang, who had been eating grapes and reading a brainless romance story, froze. Then she pointed at herself, looking doubtful. "Me? What are you talking about? I'm the Saintess of the Demon Realm!"
Even so, the Demon Realm handed Qu Fusang over to this powerful cultivator, and she set off on the so-called journey to save the world with several upright cultivators.
Fine, she could treat it as sightseeing. A Jin would be with her, after all. That was what Qu Fusang thought.
But before long, her fantasy was shattered.
Wen Zhijin's cultivation was slowly fading away!
How could this be allowed? Without Wen Zhijin, how was she any different from a fish on the chopping board?
Qu Fusang could only save the world alongside those annoying upright cultivators while restoring Wen Zhijin's cultivation.
Later, they eliminated quite a few evil spirits, and Wen Zhijin recovered completely... No, Qu Fusang felt there was something different about the newly reborn A Jin.
A Jin was still the puppet bodyguard who obeyed her every word, yet he gradually developed a heartbeat and the warmth of a human body. He began to feel joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and the way he looked at her changed too
Her puppet had come to life.
Gentle puppet x foolish, beautiful Saintess of the Demon Realm
