Jin Nan is an ordinary mortal, with no parents, plenty of money, good looks, and a carefree, happy life. Then one day, someone knocked him out in the street. When he woke up, he found another soul inside his body.
The soul was even more melodramatic than he was. It claimed to be a Demon Lord sealed away a thousand years ago, awakened to avenge a terrible grudge.
Jin Nan: "A Demon Lord? Then show me what you can do."
As an "atheist," Jin Nan didn't take the Demon Lord seriously at all.
Until danger struck. At the very last moment, the Demon Lord, having reclaimed his body, descended from the sky. With a mere flick of his finger, every thug at the door dropped dead.
Jin Nan dropped to his knees. "Long live the Demon Lord! Long live the Demon Lo--"
The Demon Lord grabbed him by the collar and hauled him up. "What are you pretending for? You were cursing me like crazy just the other day."

After thinking it over, Jin Nan could sum up his time with the Demon Lord in one word: amazing!!!!!
Get mistreated? Not a chance.
Running out of money? Not a chance.
Getting into danger? Absolutely impossible.
The Demon Lord took care of everything for him. All Jin Nan had to do was eat, drink, and have fun even more extravagantly than before!
All it cost him was one little thing...
Jin Nan touched his butt and couldn't figure out what the Demon Lord's particular kink was. But whatever, he was the Demon Lord. It was only natural for him to be a little perverted. Jin Nan was willing to pay that small price for a life of eating, drinking, and having fun!
As he went on enjoying himself, Jin Nan noticed his belly growing.

When the baby was born, Jin Nan pinched his nose and tried to convince himself to be a good mom. After all, the child had a little beauty mark beneath the eye, just like his own.
When the baby was three months old, Jin Nan lay in bed, fast asleep. The all-powerful Demon Lord was so tormented by the little one that he couldn't sit still, but he didn't dare disturb Jin Nan.
When the baby was five months old, Jin Nan swung his feet as he told the little one stories, while the Demon Lord cooked in the kitchen. As the delicious aroma wafted out, Jin Nan put down his book. Meeting the Demon Lord really was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to him. His life was simply so! Per! Fect!
When the baby was six months old, Jin Nan died by the Demon Lord's sword.

"Picking up where we left off! After the Demon Lord killed that mortal, he left behind just one sentence: 'Life and death are fated.' They say that mortal was his love tribulation. Once he overcame it, the Demon Lord was free of all restraints. In the hundred years that followed, he went on a killing spree, slaying anyone who stood in his way, god or Buddha alike! And then, well, the Demon Lord vanished from the world."
"But eighteen years ago, a fortune-teller once said that the mortal had returned. The fortune-teller disappeared soon after. Some say the Demon Lord took him away, intent on wiping out every reincarnation of that mortal's soul!"
Someone asked, "So where is he? Has he come back?"
The storyteller looked over. The one who had asked was a young nobleman with a beauty mark beneath his eye, so stunningly handsome he seemed without equal.
He narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard. "That person... is right in front of us."

Content warning: There really is a child.
Theme: Having the right attitude toward love is extremely important.
