Tang Ruyi, a poor but resilient herb peddler in Qingxi Village, owns a dilapidated clinic with nothing but bare walls to her name, has less than five coins in savings, and dreams of lying flat.
Her life philosophy is simple: money is everything, and men are nothing but a burden.
One day, while gathering herbs on the mountain, she failed to find a magical herb, but dug up a plump, perfectly shaped, glowing white radish instead.
Tang Ruyi: "Wow! I'm rich!"
Radish: "How dare you! I am Ye Wuji, ruler of the demon race and commander of all demons!"
Tang Ruyi: "Oh, then you're worth even more."
Radish: "???"
And so, the mighty and imperious Demon Lord was reduced to Tang Ruyi's precious medicinal ingredient, stashed away for safekeeping.
He was laid out in the sun to keep him dry, buried in the rice jar to keep him fresh, and occasionally had his smooth radish skin touched to let him experience the daily wellness routine of mortals.
The Demon Lord's dignity? Shattered.
The Demon Lord's power? Nonexistent.
The Demon Lord's freedom? Ha. Bound tighter than a New Year's gift bundle.

Ye Wuji had thought he had accidentally strayed into the mortal world and suffered under a seal, and that he only needed to endure it a little while before his demonic powers returned.
But he soon discovered that this woman was not only audacious and ruthless, she was also constantly plotting to sell him for money.
Worse still, she seemed to be extremely fond of the feel of his "radish body," and kept pinching him to test out this novelty.
Ye Wuji could take no more. He forcibly broke through the seal and regained human form.
His black hair tousled, golden eyes icy, demonic aura surging, he looked like a god descending from the heavens!
And yet...
He was tied up with red string and stuck halfway into a rice jar.
And the woman was still rubbing salt in the wound:
"My lord Demon Lord, have you considered changing careers with this look?"
Ye Wuji: "..."
-- Humiliation +10086. The Demon Lord's dignity had been ground to dust.
A proud, domineering Demon Lord radish VS a penniless doctor who wants to lie flat but can't
Life is hard, but the radish has seen it all. The Demon Lord's dignity is all just smoke and clouds.
-- Today, Ye Wuji is once again doing his best to reclaim his dignity!
#The heroine wants to get rich, and the hero wants to be human. Are they on the same page?
#No, they're not. The hero even suspects he's a fake Demon Lord.
#Help, this mortal is way too audacious. Ye Wuji is so angry his radish leaves are growing!
