[Sweet on the Outside, Dark on the Inside Sickly One vs. Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Taciturn One]
Sickly Fang Shiqi makes a pact with a demon to survive, sharing a body with it.
When she discovers the truth that she was born without a heart and is destined to die young,
she refuses to accept her fate. Consumed by resentment, she is corrupted and turned into a demon, becoming a puppet.
Under the demon's influence,
she gradually falls hopelessly in love with the person who took over her demon heart,
and begins to plot how to make him hers by force.
Bonus Scene: Delusion
The Delusion Curse makes you forget a little more of someone every time you think of or hear their name, until you forget them completely.
Forget their name, their face, your feelings for them.
Even if you glimpse the past, you will only watch with indifference, treating the one you loved as a stranger.
One day, someone asked the Demon God Shiqi what she thought of the fallen Divine Lord Yong Ming.
Shiqi: "Never heard of him. What is there to think? What a ridiculous question!"
Yet, for no reason, her chest ached and tears streamed down her face. How utterly baffling!
Yong Ming, the spell's inventor, now nothing but a white skeleton: "..."
Could this be a side effect? No, he had to deal with this hidden danger.
No! He couldn't! Yong Ming was stunned. He was completely dead!

Theme: Love is both a weakness and armor, both restraint and selfless fulfillment.
I came across this at the first glance. The writing is really good, but the pace is a bit tiring. I keep watching the protagonist spinning around like a trapped animal, but I don't want to skip to the later part of the plot to fast forward, so I have to take a break [hold my chin]
