The holy demon mage Luscalin sacrificed herself to seal the Gates of Hell, becoming an unsurpassed legend in the human realm.
Three hundred years later, Luscalin opened her eyes to find herself in Hell, supposedly the least hospitable of the three realms.
The bad news: She couldn't return to the human realm.
The good news: Hell wasn't entirely without order. Seven Demon Kings ruled over their own domains.
The bad news: The chief of the Seven Demon Kings was gone, and the remaining six couldn't stand one another.
Luscalin: I'm just an ordinary passerby.
But she soon discovered that her life force was fading, and the thing said to be able to sustain her was in the former Lord of Hell's palace.
Unfortunately, ever since the former chief of the Seven Demon Kings fell, his palace had sealed itself shut. It would take all six remaining Demon Kings working together to open it.
Luscalin flipped through the Hell Daily, worried about her future:
The Demon King of Envy was said to have severe OCD, and to be impossibly demanding about everything. The Demon King of Greed was said to be Hell's number one capitalist.
The Demon King of Lust was said to be obsessed with beauties of every kind. The Demon King of Gluttony was said to be obsessed with making all sorts of strange potions. The Demon King of Sloth was nowhere to be found.
And the Demon King of Wrath had even vowed to turn Hell upside down to drag a demon out and whip the corpse.
After a little thought, Luscalin came up with the quickest solution: tie up all the demons.
But halfway through her kidnapping plan, she discovered that one of them had already tied himself up and delivered himself to her.
Zelos, the Demon King of Envy temporarily in charge of Hell, was kneeling on her bed. Luscalin glanced at the chains someone had placed in her hands.
Is this really your idea of tying someone up?

Content warnings and reading notes (highlighted! Be sure to read!):
1. Not a split-personality story, and not a multiple love interest story. One-on-one, happy ending, girl-boy romance. Zelos is the only one with a romantic storyline with the heroine! All the others have "close and friendly" superior-subordinate relationships.
2. The male lead has mild masochistic tendencies.
3. They're demons, so naturally, most of them have something wrong with them. The characters' values do not represent the author's or the heroine's values.
4. This story blends various mythologies and is set in a fictional world. Please don't overanalyze it~
