[Lawless, scheming human woman aka great demon] x [Timid, low-ranking divine official aka fake aloof beauty]
[The Serious Blurb]
Though she lived deep in the mountains, far from any village or town, Zhu Ming Tong was the queen of her own little mountain kingdom. Aside from being plagued by nightmares every night, she didn't think life was all that bad.
In her dreams, she died in all sorts of ways, but the person who killed her was always the same. In her final moments, all she could ever see was a pair of eyes hidden behind clouds and mist.
As chaos swept across the land, her mountain sect was destroyed overnight. The spiritual energy of Langya scattered, and countless evil spirits poured in.
Left all alone, Zhu Ming Tong fled in panic and, by chance, picked up a frail scholar on the road.
From then on, the nightmares stopped, and her headaches disappeared!
But there was something... no, something very familiar about that scholar's eyes!
Zhu Ming Tong wasn't afraid at all. "Let's see which of us kills the other first!"
Since the world fell into chaos, Meng Yan, the "Dream-Walking Perfected Lord," had become the most miserable low-ranking wage slave in the divine realm.
He worked overtime every day until he wanted to die, but couldn't.
By day, he dutifully guided the souls of the dead back for one last glimpse of life. By night, he diligently sent dreams to widows lonely in their empty beds. And yet, when he checked his incense offerings, there was nothing.
While on a work trip, he fell into the mortal realm and, by chance, met a woman. Meng Yan read her mind and heard her thinking, "Skin her alive, tear out her tendons, grind her bones to dust..."
This was bad! The woman seemed gentle and kind on the outside, but was violent inside. Her fate marked her as a world-destroying demon!
Without his magic, Meng Yan was terrified, but he couldn't run away.
Fortunately, he discovered that the woman's constitution was special and her talent extraordinary. She was the perfect partner for killing monsters, leveling up, and earning merit.
Meng Yan, the number one corporate drone in Heaven and Earth, thought it over. For the sake of his performance review, he would just have to put up with it!
