[🤡 Love-Struck Emperor x 😈 Innocent, Wicked Great Demon Who Doesn't Understand Love]

In the Age of Declining Dharma, the hundred clans of demons dwindled. Everyone in the world said there were no demons left.

By a twist of fate, a barren rocky mountain outside the capital became home to the last demon in the world capable of taking human form.

Though she had gained a human form, it was incomplete. The chinquapin tree on the mountain pointed her in the right direction:

Enter the human world and grow a human heart, and you will no longer be bound by your stony body. The world will be yours to roam.

Shi Nianxin followed its advice and came down the mountain. Before she could grow a heart, she met a strange man.

Everyone treated him with the utmost respect and bowed before him, yet he followed her around every day, saying things about how he loved her.

Shi Nianxin: "But I don't love you."

The strange man simply wrapped his arms around her from behind, burying his face against her neck. His voice hoarse, he replied, "It doesn't matter whether you understand or return my feelings. It's enough that I love you."

-

They say a mortal emperor possesses the whole world, and can have or do anything.

Shi Nianxin looked at Lou Ying expectantly. "Then can you give me a heart?"

If she could have a human heart, she would be free.

Lou Ying paused, thought it over, then smiled happily. "Of course."

After all,

his own true heart had belonged to the person before him for a very, very long time.

The Secret Journal of Lou Ying Raising a Demon, revealed at last!

Step N: My life is over, and I still failed to cuddle her.

Am I sad? A little.

Do I regret it? No.

It's just a shame that life is short, and I can't stay by her side a little longer.

Step N+1: Huh? How am I alive?

#A sweet little romance where they keep missing each other's meaning#

#The female lead is adorably clueless, while the male lead talks himself into falling for her#

[Reader's Guide]

1. Firmly committed to one-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced, and a happy ending, a happy ending, a happy ending!

2. Fictional setting with heaps of author-created details. Romance-focused, everyday-life novella-length sweet fluff.

3. Dual perspectives, with more of the male lead's perspective early on. Neither lead is perfect. The female lead is innocent and wicked, so don't judge her by human standards.

4. If anything here isn't to your taste, it just means we don't enjoy the same things. Feel free to hit Back and leave, but please don't insult the cook or smash someone else's bowl.

[Carefree, Chatty, Lazy Salted Fish x Untouchable Flower, Nurturing Sword Immortal]

Hundreds of years ago, Sword Immortal Jiang Qiexing became famous throughout the world after slaying the demon lord with a single sword strike during the Demon-Slaying War. He was renowned everywhere and revered by countless people.

As the sword immortal's only beloved disciple, Sui Xin was proud to share in his glory

If only she weren't the great demon who, according to the stories, had slaughtered countless people, been vicious by nature, and finally died by his sword.

-

If you ask what's at the top of the Hehuan Sect's must-eat list, the answer is surely Jiang Qiexing, the only Mahayana cultivator in the cultivation world.

His power is peerless, his immortal appearance breathtaking, and, most rare of all, he is devoted to the Dao and keeps his distance from women.

Unfortunately, he's an impossibly tough nut to crack, and countless disciples of the sect have failed in their attempts.

The sect leader refused to give up, rallying every disciple to swear they would win Jiang Qiexing over.

And so Sui Xin, who had been coasting through life in the Hehuan Sect, was forced onto the path of claiming the sword immortal's primordial yang.

With countless senior sisters who've already won men over at their feet, and a junior sister born with irresistible charm, Sui Xin knew her cultivation skills were no good. She just wanted to play along and coast through life.

So why had the supposedly unreachable sword immortal fallen for her just because she crooked a finger at him?

Nowhere to live? He takes her in. √

Food, clothes, and everything else? He takes care of it all. √

Spirit pills and magical artifacts? He provides them. √

Can't figure out how to cultivate? He personally takes her as a disciple and teaches her one-on-one. √

Sui Xin teared up. "Master, you're so kind."

Jiang Qiexing: "Your cultivation still needs work. I have a technique that can help you improve quickly."

Looking at the Dual Cultivation Secret Manual before her, Sui Xin: "???"

Which one of us is actually from the Hehuan Sect?!

Not long afterward, shocking news spread that Jiang Qiexing had committed the unthinkable by falling for his newly accepted little disciple, losing his primordial yang and shattering his Dao heart.

The cultivation world erupted, and the untouchable flower became the subject of gossip over dinner.

Faced with the old sect leader beaming at her in approval, and her fellow disciples and senior sisters clamoring for her to share her secrets,

Sui Xin: "I really didn't do anything. He was the one who came after me!"

-

From the first moment Jiang Qiexing saw Sui Xin, he knew she was the flower he'd guarded for a hundred years, spending all his cultivation to help her bloom again.

He had once personally entrusted her to a mortal couple, asking only that she leave her past behind and live a peaceful, happy life, never again troubled by war and bloodshed.

He never expected that when he saw her again, she would have chosen the path of cultivation and become a wildflower with nowhere to go and no one to care for her, yet she had bloomed even more robustly than he'd imagined.

He regretted it. He thought that no one in the world could protect her as well as he could.

A sword immortal should be as pure as the breeze and bright moon, with no desires or attachments.

But you happen to be the one selfish desire I hold dear.
