The Short-Lived Black Lotus Wants to Live to a Hundred

Tsundere, adorable former Demon Venerable x ruthless, deposed Immortal Lord

Demon Venerable Zhu Yuan is reborn.

She’s also bound to a Long Life System. Rather than helping her live to a hundred, it’s more like a “po” system.

Every mission it assigns is more restrictive than the last. Does it think she’s some kind of medicine?!

Mission One: [Confess when your heart is pounding]

Right, is this supposed to be romantic?

Mission Two: [Steal Xie Baisui’s first kiss within three days]

Can she choose to go deaf?

Mission Three: [Pin him against the wall]

Missions Four, Five, Six, and Seven are all [Pin him to the bed, the window, a tree, a carriage...]

Is she training for a triathlon? No breaks at all?

Only the final mission earns the Demon Venerable’s halfhearted approval:

[Fake your death in front of Xie Baisui and escape]

At last, she can get away from him and return to the Demon Realm to live freely.

Zhu Yuan never imagined that Xie Baisui, who appeared to be a refined young nobleman with a benevolent heart, was secretly ruthless and sinister. He hated anything he couldn’t control.

“Sui Sui, are you hungry?”

“.”

Was she tired of living?

“A Sui, the flowers are lovely today, just like you.”

“.”

“Little Sui Sui, you look so pretty when you smile, little fairy.”

“.”

Xie Baisui said nothing, only silently plotting behind her back how to take her life.

After Zhu Yuan had eaten her fill of him, she faked her death and fled to the Demon Realm.

He sneered at her naivete.

Then he went to the Demon Realm himself, threatening the lives of the entire demon race to bring his wife back.

“My wife, didn’t you say you came for me? Why did you run away?”

“Never mind. This time, I came for you.”

The fireworks that day were especially bright,

as if they were saying:

For a thousand years, for ten thousand years, I will never let you down.

“Zhu Yuan, wildflowers can’t compare to the flowers at home.”

Zhu Yuan: What flowers?

“Zhu Yuan, I’m hungry.”

“Cook for yourself. If you want to eat, get to work.”

“A Yuan, don’t look at him. Look at me.”

The first time they met, Zhu Yuan had drugged him with a potent aphrodisiac. This time, he had prepared it himself in advance, his robes half open, his lean muscles taut.

“My wife, do you like what you see?”

The sun could never reach his world. It was cold, silent, and dark, and the moon was its only light.

Zhu Yuan was the one and only moon in his world.
