The Beautiful Demon Lord Binds to the Dragon-Aotian System

【The dragon-proud beauty who devotes himself to cultivation × a cutthroat battlefield of male rivals】 After more than a century of arduous cultivation, he returned to the time before he began cultivating. Judging by Ji Wuwang’s looks alone, with bright eyes, pearly teeth, and a face as flawless as white jade, he seemed to embody righteousness. But as the saying goes, you can’t judge a person by appearances. Ji Wuwang was no immortal who sought to save all living beings. He was the most notorious demon in the cultivation world. After successfully ascending, the great demon Ji Wuwang suddenly became bound to a System. The System told him that he was actually a dragon-proud protagonist, but due to a few oversights, he hadn’t received his protagonist buff in time. So the System had decided to “reward” him by making him reborn. Ji Wuwang had spent over a hundred years cultivating, only to become an immortal and then be forcibly sent back to age fifteen by the System. After being reborn, he had nothing left, and was even forced to become the disciple of his greatest nemesis from his previous life. Faced with such a drastic change, Ji Wuwang decided to give up and take things as they came. “Is there truly nothing you regret missing out on, nothing you wish you could do differently?” Facing its Host’s complete lack of motivation, the System asked this question for the first time. “No.” Ji Wuwang answered firmly. When the System brought up the question again later, Ji Wuwang dodged it with a change of subject and never gave it a proper answer again. At first, the System believed him. But eventually, it realized things might not be as they seemed. If Ji Wuwang had no regrets, why did he keep trying to prevent the tragedies of his previous life, repeatedly doing “foolish” things that had nothing to do with improving his cultivation? The moment he accidentally rescued a righteous cultivator friend from his previous life in the countryside, Ji Wuwang’s path was destined to diverge from the one he’d taken before. As for becoming his nemesis’s disciple, Ji Wuwang said anyone could take the job, just not him. Yet when he met his greatest nemesis for the first time in this life, the man forcibly brought him back to Kunxuan Sect and took him as a disciple. And so Ji Wuwang stayed at Kunxuan Sect. In his previous life, Ji Wuwang had known few people, most of them demonic cultivators. After being reborn, he gradually got to know many people. Some had been close to him in his previous life, some had been sworn enemies, some had been strangers, and others had only crossed his path briefly. It was as though a thread had suddenly appeared, inexplicably weaving them together with Ji Wuwang. And so their paths crossed, leading to tension, conflict, and feelings that could not be spoken aloud. But Ji Wuwang was an emotionally clueless blockhead who only cared about cultivation. He never noticed the feelings people around him had for him, and thought only of cultivating until he could ascend and become an immortal. A kiss can cure poison? Then let’s kiss. But why does my waist ache? A friend held me while I slept after I got drunk? Then I’ll just sleep for a while. But why are my lips swollen? Never mind. Nothing matters more than cultivation. The blockheaded Ji Wuwang discovered that wherever he went, resources seemed to appear. Even the scraps he picked up along the way turned out to be rare treasures, and one misstep would land him in a secret realm. His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. System: See? That’s how it is for our dragon-proud protagonist. He has every kind of beauty, treasure, and rare beast at his disposal. Ji Wuwang: What’s a beauty? Cultivating feels amazing! Ji Wuwang kept thinking that once he became stronger, he would wipe out his greatest nemesis, just as he’d once become the man’s defeated opponent in his previous life! Before he could wipe out his nemesis, he accidentally contracted flower poison in a secret realm and was forced to spend a night with him, oblivious to everything around them. Once the poison was cured, Ji Wuwang belatedly realized that his greatest nemesis was looking at him strangely. It wasn’t just him. Everyone around Ji Wuwang seemed to be acting strangely, too. The System said they were all confidants. If a beauty confidante wasn’t an option, then a handsome confidant would do. How could its Host, a dragon-proud protagonist, have no confidants? The System’s satisfaction didn’t last long. Ji Wuwang said, “Why is he looking at me like that? He must be trying to humiliate me!” System: ... But before these tangled feelings could be sorted out, disaster struck. The entire cultivation world pinned every crime on Ji Wuwang. To protect his sect, Ji Wuwang left of his own accord and joined the demonic path. When he appeared before the cultivation world again, Ji Wuwang had become the Demon Lord whom everyone feared. Content warnings 1. All love interests are virgins, and there are no secondary couples. 2. The protagonist is a beautiful, stubbornly proud bottom and a true magnet for admirers. Many people look up to him. 3. A traditional coming-of-age dragon-proud protagonist: he repays both grudges and kindnesses. He becomes the Demon Lord, but there is no betrayal by everyone close to him. The only difference for the shrieking side characters is whether they die sooner or later. 4. Please don’t suggest edits or coin new terms. P.S. The cover and character designs were commissioned, and will all be included in the illustrations. The illustrations are in preparation and are expected to be released around the end of October.
