A lazy, beautiful little ray of sunshine who occasionally plays the hero, versus a gloomy, crawling-in-the-shadows, teary-eyed yandere demon lord.
Yu Buwan transmigrated into the world of the restricted novel Demons and Ghosts. With no memories, she was sent to the demon palace as a human spy.
On the eve of her sect's attack on the demon palace, her memories returned.
The good news: Yu Buwan remembered the System that had brought her to this world. Before leaving, it had tasked her with winning over the young villain Yan Zhiji, stopping him from destroying the world, then faking her death and disappearing. Once she completed the mission, she could go home.
The bad news: She was poisoned at that very moment and nearly pounced on the villainous demon lord, Yan Zhiji. The difficulty had just gone up.
She looked down at Yan Zhiji, whose striking features, red lips, and white teeth were right beneath her. Her hand, which had gripped his wrist until it turned red, trembled slightly. Yan Zhiji was beautiful but cruel, a gloomy, world-weary pessimist.
There's no problem in life that can't be solved by giving up.
Yu Buwan immediately decided to abandon the mission and run. But the demon lord, eyes red, locked her at his side and ordered her to serve him for the rest of her life.
Yu Buwan said aloud, "My lord, I will."
Her inner monologue: [You want me to be your workhorse. Could it be that you're into me?]
When danger came, Yu Buwan was shoved aside and shouted to him, "My lord, you're in danger!"
Her inner monologue: [A man at his most battered is the best dowry.]
When Yan Zhiji cried so hard he could barely catch his breath, Yu Buwan gently patted his back. "My lord, here's some lotus seed soup."
Her inner monologue: [A man's tears are the best dowry, too.]
When he tossed away a gemstone, Yu Buwan said aloud, "My lord, you look handsome even when you throw things."
Her inner monologue: [Give it to me, give it to me. I'm so broke.]
As expected, child psychology works at every age.
With great effort, she did everything she could to please him. At last, Yu Buwan managed to complete the mission, more or less by luck.
She became the demon lord's bride. On their wedding night, she planned to jump off a cliff and fake her death.
That day, as he lifted her veil, Yan Zhiji ran his fingers over the special rope on her body and smiled with lowered eyes.
His eyes bloodshot, he lifted her chin with a fierce, violent look, pried open her lips, and stole her peach candy. "My lady, on our wedding night, we shouldn't spill blood."
In an instant, his eyes turned completely red. He cried while radiating a crazed, sinister menace, then snatched her knife with gritted teeth. "Yu Buwan, you have some nerve."
[That's ridiculous. How did he know about the knife tucked into my waistband?]

Thanks to Yu Buwan's tireless efforts, she slapped her backside and ran off, faking her death.
Less than half a year after she returned, the System told Yu Buwan that demonic energy was surging throughout the world and another collapse was imminent. It ordered her to deal with it as soon as possible.
As soon as Yu Buwan arrived, she knelt with the trembling crowd.
She bowed her head. A pair of exquisite long boots stopped before her, a black robe trailing across the ground.
Yan Zhiji gave a low, magnetic laugh and gripped her chin, his gaze blazing. "If my lady runs away again, I'll have no choice but to take your legs."
