Truly unhinged demoness x seemingly innocent but secretly scheming righteous hero
The notorious demon-cult enchantress Yu Shiqing was captured by the martial world. Or rather, she let herself be captured.
Yu Shiqing was given a mission: escort a heavenly book and tempt the prestigious righteous sects into switching sides.
A peerless treasure of the world, an invincible martial art: if it passed through her hands, naturally she would be the first to learn it~
So, on the very first day of the mission, she opened the heavenly book without permission and then tore it up.
What kind of garbage was this? She was a great beauty of unmatched looks and enchanting allure, as clearly stated even on the martial world's wanted posters. Was she really supposed to be abandoned on her wedding day and freeze to death in a ruined temple, miserable and alone?
Yu Shiqing didn't believe it for a second. So she disguised an erotic picture book as the heavenly book and let the martial world fight over it. Meanwhile, she deliberately got captured and used every trick in the book to tempt the man the prophecy said she would love devotedly.
Throwing herself into his arms and playing the damsel in distress were child's play. She went straight for the win, pretending to be his childhood sweetheart. How could that not work?
Just as things were looking great, and she'd even joined forces with the righteous side's second-in-command to wipe out all those prestigious sects, the real childhood sweetheart appeared.
She was out.
Hah, ridiculous. Did they think that meant she'd die for love, just like the heavenly book said?
She's a demoness! When something like this happens, of course she should slaughter the whole martial world!

Wen Huixi was born into a prestigious family, a man of noble character and refined grace--and blind.
He'd only joined the crowd to chase after a peerless treasure of the martial world. Then a demon-cult enchantress slipped into the group. Every day, in broad daylight, she made a dramatic declaration of love to the young swordsman, acting like a lovesick woman who had laid down her weapons and turned over a new leaf for love. But every night she climbed into Wen Huixi's bed, held a knife to his neck, then asked with a fake show of sincerity whether he'd be willing to team up with her and take out those righteous sects.
Wen Huixi was weak, pitiful, and helpless. What else could he do but agree?
But later, he began to realize something was off. How had he become a secret lover who could only meet her at night?
But could he let her go? He couldn't bear to. After careful consideration, he decided that if he killed the man she loved in the daytime, he could finally come out into the light.
What? Other people were gossiping about him behind his back, too?
Then he would kill them all as well.
