The great demon Yan Wuqing suddenly awakens one day and discovers she is living inside a terrible book called Dragon Sovereign of Ten Thousand Worlds.
Her mission is to diligently serve as a stepping stone for the male lead, the Chosen One Yue Liangyu: steal his resources, take his magical treasures, ruin his romantic prospects, and finally be brought to justice by him.
A glowing orb System starts shrieking in her mind: "Host! Let the female lead go! Get on your knees, apologize to the male lead, and beg for leniency!"
Yan Wuqing picks at her ear and laughs.
No, no, she won't listen. She worked so hard to become a demon, so why not enjoy herself while she can? Reason with the protagonist's party? Does she look like someone with a conscience?!
Heh heh heh heh heh!
So Yan Wuqing promptly whisks the female lead back to the Demon Palace and sends out wedding invitations far and wide, announcing their marriage. The whole point is to infuriate that hypocrite Yue Liangyu!
The red candles flicker. Beneath the bridal veil, the bride is breathtakingly beautiful, yet demure and gentle as water.
Yan Wuqing raises an eyebrow. So much for being an aloof beauty. This is clearly a sweet, understanding flower.
She parades around with her "bride," flaunting their affection, and occasionally picks on her. Watching her endure the humiliation and meekly submit is easily the greatest amusement in a demon's otherwise dull life.
Until one day, the united forces of the immortal sects lay siege to her lands. The leading elder declares righteously, his voice resounding through the heavens:
"Yan Wuqing! Hand over our sect's chief disciple, the Light of the Righteous Path, Yue Liangyu! Otherwise, we will raze your Demon Realm to the ground today!"
Yan Wuqing: "...???"
She turns to look at the beauty behind her.
The beauty is intently peeling grapes for her. When she notices Yan Wuqing looking, she slowly lifts her eyes.
The meekness in her eyes recedes like a tide. The corners of her lips curl upward, bit by bit, like a venomous snake finally baring its fangs, dark and glistening.
The air suddenly goes still.
So she brought back a fake female lead, and it's her sworn enemy herself???
Yue Liangyu's life had always gone smoothly, until he met the demon Yan Wuqing. She opposed him at every turn and fought dirty, even bringing people to ambush him while he was bathing.
He'd had enough. It was time to fight back. He decided to offer himself up to the demon, disguise himself as a woman, infiltrate her lair, and find a chance to teach her a lesson she'd never forget.
But
What he imagined: torture, pretense, and a fight to the death.
What actually happened: riding through the streets, having his hair styled and eyebrows painted, and being cuddled in fragrant warmth.
At last, Yue Liangyu clearly realized that the dark, damp shadow in his heart, born of years of suppression and discipline, seemed to have been scorched by her radiance. Then it began to grow, wildly.
He decided to teach the demon a lesson she'd never forget: bind himself to her, body and soul, until death do them part.
Until the immortal sects laid siege to the city and called out his name.
Oh no, his identity's been exposed.
