Mistaking the Demon Lord for a Delicate Flower

Everyone, take a look at the illustration event! My other story is now out: The Idlefish Female-Protagonist Novel Gets a Yandere Script Instead. The blurb is at the bottom. Please add it to your favorites~ ovo

Shi Ling transmigrates into a cultivation novel written for a male audience.

She becomes the vicious supporting female character who is destined to be killed by the arrogant male lead.

After her escape fails, Shi Ling has no choice but to cling to her sickly husband for the time being if she wants to survive. By day, she cooks for him and tends his wounds. At night, she accompanies him to admire the lanterns and stroll around...

At last, Shi Ling takes a fatal sword strike meant for her husband and leaps off a cliff.

After successfully faking her death, Shi Ling is overjoyed: Freedom, here I come!

But she misses the obsessive, sinister look her sickly husband gives her from behind.

After escaping to the mortal realm, Shi Ling hears some rumors

The Demon Lord is cold-blooded and heartless, having trampled countless corpses beneath his feet. His name terrifies the Three Realms. But now, having lost the one he loved, he has become a complete madman.

Shi Ling: How did he lose his wife too?

She can't help looking at the sickly husband who found her not long ago. He suddenly coughs up blood, the corners of his eyes red, even his breathing as delicate as jade striking jade.

"Does Madam think... I bear some resemblance to that Demon Lord?"

Shi Ling snaps, "Yes, yes, you're the Demon Lord, and I'm the Celestial Maiden of the Nine Heavens!"

He lets out a low laugh and folds her fingertips into his palm.

Their life together is quiet. They have their squabbles, but they always make up before long.

Shi Ling thinks she can finally spend the rest of her life in peace.

Until she steps beyond the town's barrier and watches the illusion crumble before her eyes. Only then does she learn that it was all his doing.

And her husband, once so frail he could barely stand, now stands before a host of demons, gazing at her with smiling, blood-red eyes.

Shi Ling feels the sky come crashing down.

This isn't some frail, delicate flower. He's the great demon who will destroy the world!

The demon doesn't kill her. Instead, he kisses her trembling lashes, a sickly red gleam flickering in his eyes.

"I told you, there's nothing fun out there."

"Or have you... grown tired of me, Madam?"

"...No matter what, I can't bear to be apart from you anymore."

Everyone knows that the aloof, world-weary Demon Lord has a wife he can never forget.

When Qin Jiuyuan first met Shi Ling, he thought she would be just like in his previous life, mercilessly humiliating and tormenting him.

He should hate her, then kill her.

But she pressed into his domain step by step, pitying him, loving him, and turning his world upside down.

Later, she took a sword strike for him on the mountain cliff.

His heart, long dead and desolate, suddenly burst into a frenzy of life.

When he found Shi Ling in the demon realm, she was tied to a tree by demon cultivators, staring at him in shock with red-rimmed eyes.

"Qin Jiuyuan?"

She was still alive.

At the thought, a near-death ecstasy shot through his spine. Though murderous intent nearly overflowed his chest, he smiled gently.

"Don't be afraid."

He would hide her away and cling to her without end...

until she stopped abandoning him.

A carefree, confident little sun × a gloomy, sickly, world-weary demon

Coming soon: The Idlefish Supporting Character Gets a Yandere Script Instead

Yu Wanzhi transmigrates into an ancient-era redemption novel.

She becomes the pitiful supporting female character who saves a yandere and dies young. But the System tells her that because the original owner's resentment was so great, she secretly switched the plot with the antagonist. So now she's been given

a yandere script.

System: You can return only by taking revenge on the original antagonist in an extremely twisted way, to satisfy the original owner's grudge.

Yu Wanzhi, nine years of compulsory education, exemplary student: Me?

*

Yu Wanzhi has been an honest person her whole life, and now she can't sleep all night at the thought of being forced to carry out such a dark mission.

Luckily, Wei Xuan is blind and has a disabled leg. It shouldn't be too difficult, so she steels herself and gives it a try.

Mission 1: Spy on Wei Xuan in secret without being caught.

She dutifully crouches outside the temple for three days, only to pass out in the snow.

Mission 2: Write a deranged diary every day, without repeating yourself.

She racks her brains and exhausts everything she has ever learned, praising even the smallest strand of his hair.

Mission 3: Make physical contact with Wei Xuan.

She pretends to stumble, but accidentally shoves him and his wheelchair into an icy lake.

By the thirty-third day of writing her deranged diary, Yu Wanzhi has scratched her head nearly bald. She really can't bring herself to be twisted!

One day, she happens to find a notebook on the road.

Its contents are absolutely fascinating:

"She was especially forward today. Her hair brushed against my chin. I think I have a heart condition; my heart is beating so fast."

"She wore the pale yellow silk dress I secretly sent her and smiled at me. Her cheeks were rosy. I want... I want to kiss her."

"She hasn't spoken to me lately. She's meeting someone else in secret, but I'm really going blind. My eyes have been bleeding so much. It hurts, it hurts so much. Little Fish, could you touch me too?"

"I deliberately bought the gauzy robe she likes, to wear when we meet."

"When will she realize I've been watching her from behind all along? Soon..."

"A fish belongs in the water forever."

Yu Wanzhi reads in trepidation, then leaps with joy, treating the notebook like a treasure:

This is exactly my kind of thing! The author is a genius. Heaven is on my side!

*

Yu Wanzhi works diligently at her task for a long time. Wei Xuan may be quiet, but he's gentle and mild-mannered, nothing like the sinister, unhinged powerful official in the original novel.

The antagonist really is different when he's given the supporting-character script.

In private, Yu Wanzhi often writes to the notebook's owner to ask for advice, since she isn't "twisted" enough.

Kindred spirits meet in a stinking ditch, and they quickly become close friends.

Until one day, she accidentally loses the notebook.

When she sees it again, it's inexplicably in Wei Xuan's hands.

Yu Wanzhi relaxes. He's blind, so he can't read it.

But in the next moment, she sees his long fingers caress the indecent words.

He removes his blindfold, his chilly gaze slowly fastening on her face, nearly obsessed.

"Little Fish, tonight you should learn how to make me yours."

"I'll teach you myself."

Coming soon: After My Sinister Late Husband Took Me by Force

[Honest and resilient × chaste, unhinged man]

Wen Shuyao has made a terrible mistake.

After years spent wandering, she's finally returned as the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. All she wants is to care for her sick father and live out her life in peace

But her stepmother is eager to marry her into the Duke's household. The Duke's wife is ruthless and strict, and married life there would surely be difficult.

Her birth mother is missing, and once her father dies, her half-brother will inherit all the family wealth. There will be no one to stand up for her.

Trapped in the tiger's den, Wen Shuyao is finally driven to desperation. She grits her teeth and finds a romance storyteller, inventing a scandalous affair with Prince Rui, who died fighting on the frontier.

Only... the storyteller is cold and distant, and there's something strangely sticky in the way he looks at her.

She is delighted. Good, a man of few words! Secrecy is vital for this, so we're in the clear!

Sure enough, the story unfolds with plenty of twists and turns. Its many intimate scenes make the noblewomen blush, and as opera troupes perform it, rumors that Prince Rui would die on the battlefield for his beloved Yao spread across the whole capital.

Not only does the Duke's family withdraw, but even the minor households that once fawned over her disappear. Her marriage prospects are completely ruined.

Until one day, as Wen Shuyao cheerfully prepares her things, her maid's frantic voice reaches her ears.

"This is terrible, Miss!"

"Why are you so flustered?"

"Prince Rui isn't dead! He returned to the capital this morning and was named regent. He says he wants to personally..."

"...pay a visit to our Minister's residence."

Wen Shuyao's vision goes black. She nearly faints.

*

Prince Rui Yin Zhan holds power over the court. Handsome and imposing, he is disciplined and proper, an unreachable noble of the imperial family.

Yet he fell for a country girl.

Once the effects of the aphrodisiac incense wore off, the girl wept and told him she was utterly alone, so she'd had to tell everyone he was her husband.

Yin Zhan knows they are worlds apart and has no intention of becoming entangled with her. He bides his time. Once he finds out who drugged him, he plans to reveal his identity and give her some money so she can make a life for herself.

But by then, she's vanished without a trace, not even leaving him a letter.

After that, Yin Zhan repeatedly dreams of her luminous face, her soft voice calling him husband. His heart trembles and aches, beyond his control...

He vows to find the brazen country girl.

Until, outside a bookshop in the capital, a lively figure in pink darts into the rain. She grabs his injured arm first, mistaking him for the storyteller.

"Sir, this matter must remain completely secret. Please come back to my residence with me so we can discuss it."

Yin Zhan recognizes her at a glance.

So not only was her identity false, even her name was a lie!

The handsome face hidden beneath his mask crumbles bit by bit. His gaze deep and cold, he says, "Very well."
