An accident left Xi Yu gravely injured and asleep for three hundred years.
Now she has discovered that Qin Wu, once her demon slave, has taken her place as Demon Lord.
She once unlocked the iron chain around his neck and patiently taught him magic.
He obeyed her commands, becoming the blade in her hand and helping her take control of the demon city.
Now Qin Wu sits in the highest seat, decisive and ruthless, his name renowned. Nothing about him suggests he was once a demon slave.
Rumor has it that Qin Wu has long harbored rebellious ambitions, carefully plotting to escape her control.
Good. She's back now. Let's see who the true Demon Lord is.
Xi Yu disguises herself as a mysterious wealthy merchant and enters the city to investigate the truth. Along the way, she takes another demon slave.
They were both demon slaves. The Qin Wu of the past was a man of few words. No matter what she did, he would silently stand by her side. When she went on a date by boat with a fox demon, he stood motionless at the bow all night, listening to her laughter.
He Mian, on the other hand, clings to her and calls her big sister, telling jokes to cheer her up.
His appearance makes Xi Yu wary. She quietly slips into He Mian's mind and discovers something called a "System" telling him, "If you can win over the demoness Xi Yu, you'll be able to go back and keep working as a university professor."
Xi Yu sneers.
From then on, she watches He Mian openly try to please her while secretly trying to adapt to the demon realm. She finds it amusing and doesn't expose him.
Until one day, while Xi Yu is resting, the door suddenly crashes open and Qin Wu strides in. He doesn't so much as glance at He Mian, kneeling directly beside the bed and softly saying, "My lord."
"How dare you address me that way, Lord Demon," Xi Yu says, giving him a cold look.
His refined, handsome face was shaped by her.
His dark, brooding heart was taught by her.
And now he still puts on an act in front of her?
Xi Yu stretches out her foot and traces the contours of his face with her toes.
Qin Wu's Adam's apple bobs. "I will always submit to you, my lord."
He Mian, beside them, immediately puts on a sweet smile and continues kneading her shoulders. "My lord, I will be the one who never betrays you."
Qin Wu (a gloomy, crawling-on-the-floor loyalist): Why does that bastard get to stay by my lord's side and do the things I never dared to do? How long is my lord going to keep me at a distance?
He Mian (a desperate, adorable green tea): I gave her all of my heart and was willing to give up everything for her. Why does she still not trust me?
1. A battle between men for the heroine. The culprit is not the male lead. The ending is 1v2.
2. The heroine is a thousand-year-old snake demon, beautiful, cunning, and full of flaws. She loves to tease people, but has no heart.
