Proud, domineering, bewitching demoness x reserved, tsundere, loyal silver-haired demon lord
Yan Wuxi was a notorious demoness who, through one moment of carelessness, nearly met her end at the hands of a beauty.
Even after she died, she was a terror to the dead.
While others in the underworld lost all their powers and could only be manipulated and sent back to the cycle of reincarnation, she not only retained her powers, they were even stronger than when she was alive!
So she tore apart the cell holding her, wreaked havoc throughout the underworld, and escaped. It felt absolutely wonderful!
She thought her reputation was so fearsome and her powers so formidable that even the King of Hell wouldn't dare take her in!
Once she got out, she planned to clean house, reclaim her sect, and return to her carefree life. But then she discovered...
Her enemy was dead! And had died horribly! Someone had hung the corpse on a mountain in her sect for ten whole days! Even the soul had been scorched away!
Word had spread that the killer was a great demon called Yun Fan, who had threatened to wipe out the entire family of anyone who dared take the body down.
Yan Wuxi heard this and gave a slight smile. "Well, well... How interesting."
Later, she brought the great demon into her sect.
In the main hall, she lifted his chin and smiled seductively.
"What does the sect leader want?"
She chuckled, letting her fingertip trail from his chin to his neck. "I want... you."
Yan Wuxi had thought this would be a domineering conquest entirely on her terms, but she never expected him to play the fool and walk right into her trap.
And he seemed to... enjoy it! He trotted after her, shielded her from drinks, and even showed a touch of shyness now and then!
"Wuxi... You've always... always treated me so well."
"Because you gave this to me."

Synopsis:
[Child prodigy who can tell someone's age from their drawing + police station ace who can draw both faces and hearts]
[A continuation of The Map of Human Nature]
Shen Yi slept deeply that night.
He dreamed he was tied up in a dimly lit studio, struggling to break free but unable to.
The studio walls were covered with vivid portraits in all sorts of styles, every one painted by him.
Then, all at once, Shen Yi felt a chill run down his back. It was as if every portrait had become the same person, all glaring at him. That person's face was a composite of countless fragments of criminal minds and human nature from his memory.
Teacher Shen's Classroom:
"Around 1500, Netherlandish Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch created this oil painting on panel, The Ship of Fools."
A warm, gentle male voice echoed through the classroom.
"In The Ship of Fools, everyone aboard represents a fool. With his grotesque style, Bosch vividly depicted the blind stupidity of ordinary people and the sickness of society."
"What the people lost in revelry don't realize is that the ship drifts aimlessly, never reaching the other shore."
Reading Guide:
1. I love and respect Under the Skin 1 and 2. My thanks to everyone on the cast and crew for all their hard work, on and off camera!
2. This is my version of Shen Yi. The plot is entirely fictional, so please don't take it too seriously.
3. Important! There is no official pairing in this story. The male lead is the sole protagonist. If that's not for you, please don't read!
Theme: Reject false virtue and live freely
