After transmigrating into a book, Jiang Wan had exceptional talent and extraordinary beauty. Her adoptive parents and brother were all powerful figures in their own right, and she was engaged to a promising first disciple of the Sword Lord.
She had always thought she was the heroine of the story.
That was until she failed to form her Nascent Soul and her spiritual roots were utterly destroyed.
Her parents gouged out her spiritual roots and Golden Core for the sake of their biological daughter.
Her brother seized her spiritual artifacts and treasures for the sake of his biological sister.
When they encountered demons, her fiance shielded the delicate young woman behind him.
Without the slightest hesitation, he offered Jiang Wan to the notorious Demon King, a savage, sinister tyrant.
Heartbroken and despairing, Jiang Wan waited to die.
Then she discovered that when she got close to the Demon King, her cultivation quietly recovered a little.
Dragging her broken body, she looked up at the wild, handsome man before her, her eyes shining.
It seemed Heaven still had some sense of fairness.
What a wonderful tonic.
If she didn't take advantage now, when would she?
Su Yang's bloodline was impure: half human, half wolf. Bullied by humans and trampled by demons since childhood, he studied the immortal path and practiced demonic arts alike. With his half-demon body, he fought his way to the throne of the Demon King, leaving mountains of corpses and rivers of blood in his wake. Humans and demons alike trembled at the mention of his name.
But no one knew that, constrained by his bloodline, he was close to death.
One day, while out of boredom, he encountered the Sword Lord's first disciple, who offered him the most beautiful woman in the Immortal Realm.
The young woman knelt on the ground, her slender waist graceful, her beauty cool and breathtaking.
She raised her head, her pale face looking up at him, delicate and tearful. "I've admired Your Majesty for a long time. If I could marry you as a concubine, my greatest wish in life would be fulfilled."
[Strange. Getting close to the Demon King actually increases my cultivation?]
[If I stayed by his side, wouldn't it increase even more...?]
Hah.
Admired him for a long time? Her greatest wish in life?
Hearing her thoughts, the gloomy, cold man curled his lips into a sinister smile.
As it happened, his tomb was still missing a burial companion.
Turning the most beautiful woman in the Immortal Realm into a puppet and displaying her in his tomb would surely look lovely.
He took her back with him, ready to execute her at any moment.
Yet one day, he summoned her to his bed, and they did not emerge for several days and nights.
On the day the stolen spiritual roots were shattered, Jiang Lingyu heard the news of the Demon King's grand wedding.
Her fiance drank in a daze, then collapsed before her, murmuring Jiang Wan's name.
