So You're a Demon Lord Too?

On their wedding night, Si Miao drank the nuptial cup with the mortal young man before her.

Once the ceremony was complete and her love trial over, her power would surge, and she would rule the demon realm.

Everything went according to plan. The young man slipped off her wedding robes. Heat rose between them. His alluring features and the wine stain on his lips made him even more captivating.

A red glow gathered at her fingertips as she prepared to kill him with a single blow.

"I have a secret to tell you." Out of respect for a man about to die, she confessed with a smile, "Actually, I'm the Demon Lord."

After a moment of silence, the young man chuckled. His gentle facade vanished in an instant.

The red curtains swayed. Before she could react, he seized her hand and pinned her to the bed, his gaze dark and intense.

"Is that so? What a coincidence. I'm the Demon Lord too."

Si Miao: ?

The Nine Provinces were in turmoil, with the various demon factions declaring themselves kings and claiming the title of Demon Lord. To unite the demon realm, Si Miao entered the mortal world to undergo a trial.

Who could have guessed that the one sharing her love trial was one of the great demons plotting a rebellion?

On their wedding night, the trial went awry, and neither of them achieved their goal. With their own thoughts in mind, they spent several years together.

When they finally dropped all pretense, Si Miao glared at him and said, "Demon, look at me carefully. I'm the Demon Lord!"

The usually gentle young man looked at her with a possessive intensity, but did as she said, gazing at her with burning eyes.

After a long pause, he smiled. "All right, Miao Miao. It doesn't matter."

"Just don't leave me, okay?" he said.

Si Miao: ???

Yan Jizhi was called a born villain. In his youth, he was imprisoned in the depths of the demonic realm, bound by punitive arrays and surrounded by pain.

The demons feared him and bowed down to submit.

Once he killed the Demon Lord Si Miao, he would have power enough to shake the heavens.

He found her, but she... seemed a little different from everyone else.

Yan Jizhi watched her time and again. Gradually, a different kind of feeling quietly grew in his heart.

So he said, "It doesn't matter."

Since she'd told him to look at her, from then on he'd watch her closely, locking every inch of her into his gaze.
