A carefree, self-assured little sun of a phoenix x a man who's barely alive, with two faces, one at home and another outside
[Blurb]
No one could have imagined that the new demon king chosen by the phoenixes of the demon realm, on the Mingqi Continent, would be a wild golden phoenix from nowhere.
The news set all the demons gossiping.
A certain pheasant demon: "Why her? I grew up in the demon capital and have never heard of this bird!"
A certain butterfly demon: "Why her? She has no grace, and I hear she can barely read. How could a princess of the Colorful Phoenix clan lose to her?"
A certain fox demon: "Why her? Her demon power is only mediocre, and she won't even say who trained her. The Peacock Prince should be chosen instead!"
A certain wolf demon: "Why her? She has no backing at all. She won't even be able to hold onto the throne. I say a prince from the Great Roc or Thunderbird clan should take the position."
The wild golden phoenix herself, Feng Yinzhuo, is furious. Fine! She never wanted the job anyway. They all think she's not up to it? Then she'll become king! And not only that, she'll turn the whole phoenix world upside down!
"Listen up, all of you! I'm Feng Yinzhuo. I hatched on Mount Taibai in the western frontier, protected by a mountain god, and trained by Feng Mo, a master of the Spirit Sage Realm. I've beaten the Peacock Prince, thrashed the Fire Phoenix, and chased off the Thunderbird. Got it?"
Beneath the throne, Feng Yinzhuo's master, the great demon Feng Mo, says: My dear disciple, you sure know how to brag. I only have Spirit Sage Realm power when I'm in the heart of the demon realm~
Feng Yinzhuo's friend, the snake demon Bai Xuelan: There it is, that same shameless attitude. And what mountain god protection? If we were really protected, we wouldn't have been hungry enough to hibernate in the middle of winter!
Feng Yinzhuo's partner, the half-demon Meng Xianshi: Huh? Didn't Xiao Zhu come to Phoenix City to find the parents who cruelly abandoned her? How did she end up becoming the demon king?
Yes, years earlier, Feng Yinzhuo was just a little phoenix on Mount Taibai who could barely keep herself fed.
Trapped inside a snowy mountain barrier, she and the little snake Bai Xuelan relied on each other. Though survival was already a struggle, she still gazed down the mountain with shining eyes, always longing for the world beyond.
"Xiao Bai, I'm so wonderful. How could anyone bear to abandon me? I'm going to live well, and I'll go stand right in front of them and tell them I don't want them either."
Everything changed one day, when the young Meng Xianshi fell from the sky onto the snowy mountain.
At the time, the stunning boy, half-human and half-demon, had shattered meridians and no spiritual power. He was barely alive, and a bird and a snake each had their own reasons for risking everything to save him.
And so the wheel of fate began to turn...
