Gu Liang was reborn.
In her previous life, she was a solitary cultivator who died in a humiliating and hasty fashion, surrounded and killed by her enemies.
After returning to life, she came to understand one thing: When it comes to cultivating immortality, talent and hard work are all meaningless. The real key is getting close to the right person.
As luck would have it, the future Demon Emperor, who would one day shake the world, was currently a poor little thing stranded in the mortal realm.
This time, she would raise herself a powerful patron from scratch.
Yin Huang was a half-blood demon who had been left to fend for herself in the mortal realm since childhood.
Born with the ability to read minds, she had heard too much of the world's warmth and cruelty and had long since become hard-hearted.
That was until she met a female cultivator who was always grinning foolishly at her.
"The future Demon Emperor is so cute right now..."
Yin Huang: ? Is she talking about me?
"Your future majesty, please look after me when you grow up."
Yin Huang: We'll see how you behave.
"Hehe... Your majesty... You're so beautiful. I want to..."
Yin Huang: ...Fine. I'll indulge you.
Gu Liang: Wait, is something not quite right here?
Lately, the people of the immortal sects have been having a miserable time.
Gu Liang was a maverick who took unconventional paths, and she was skilled at swindling, cheating, and conning people. She was practically a notorious demon.
But behind her stood an even more terrifying second demon.
The Demon Emperor Yin Huang was vindictive and ruthless, yet she listened to Gu Liang alone.
The elders of the immortal sects beat their chests in despair. "One demon is already a handful. And now two demons are together? Is there any justice in this world?"
Theme: Never give in to fate.
