The Pear Returns.

The day Jiang Ligui emerged from seclusion after breaking through her cultivation bottleneck, the sect's sacred treasure, the Soulspirit Mirror, flashed red wildly and projected a scene of Jiang Ligui becoming a demonic woman who would slaughter her entire sect and bring disaster upon the world.

The whole sect was shaken.

The cool and aloof senior brother: "We absolutely cannot trust the Soulspirit Mirror completely."

The sinister second senior brother: "Better to kill an innocent than let a guilty person go."

The green-tea junior sister: "This must be a misunderstanding! Spare Senior Sister's life. Just sever the tendons in her hands and feet, extract her spiritual bone, and throw her into the Demon-Suppressing Abyss, where she'll stay for the rest of her life."

Jiang Ligui: ...

Thank you so much.

So Jiang Ligui was thrown into the abyss. Through a twist of fate, she cultivated a body full of demonic bones and truly became a fearsome great demon. Not only did she kill Yan Jingchao, the greatest menace to the Three Realms, she also slaughtered her entire sect, sparing only her senior brother and junior sister.

Her senior brother was forced to become her lover, spending every night in rapturous pleasure. The junior sister who adored him knelt on a bed of ice spikes, watching her beloved emerge from the bedroom with his clothes in disarray and shame written all over his face.

She cried so loudly.

Years later, her senior brother finally got his chance to stab Jiang Ligui through the chest with his sword.

She should have been avenged at last, but as she lay dying, all Jiang Ligui saw were his eyes streaming with bloody tears.

She opened her eyes after being reborn, only to find it was once again the day she emerged from seclusion after breaking through.

In the Soulspirit Mirror, the face of the demon woman atop the Demon Realm was hidden by mist. When the mist dispersed, the face reflected there was her junior sister's.

The whole sect was stunned.

The junior sister panicked and begged for mercy on her knees.

In a corner where no one could see, Jiang Ligui's lips curled into a bewitching, wicked smile as she quietly dispelled a Shadow-Transposition Spell.

She returned to her sect with a body full of demonic bones, vowing to take revenge on everyone who had hurt her.

Not a single one of them would survive!

Later, she ran into Yan Jingchao, the demon she had killed in her previous life while competing for a ranking.

Maybe they were birds of a feather? Yan Jingchao proposed dual cultivation.

Jiang Ligui craved his powerful spiritual energy and agreed. Until, on that beautiful night, Senior Brother Shen Qingli barged into their red-silk bed curtains, acting more like a great demon than either of them.

The light of the righteous path gradually turns into an unhinged male lead x a female lead devoted to growing stronger x a masochistic male supporting character with Stockholm syndrome (?)

#The gods and Buddhas of the heavens keep their eyes shut. I will wield the sword and cleanse the mortal world#

Inspired by the great demon killing the great demon meme from The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon.

The female lead never kills the innocent, and seeks herself amid adversity.

A romance-focused, plain-spoken xianxia story. The author reserves the right to explain the worldbuilding.

Many thanks to my friend for helping me polish the blurb.
