My Senior Sister Is Obviously Overpowered, Yet She Won't Follow the Righteous Path

Please add my new story to your reading list: Imprison Him, Love Her. The blurb is at the end.

She was born an immortal, and he was born a demon. Their story should have been doomed from the start.

Hua Yao, a noble daughter of the Immortal Sect, was taught from birth: one's origins don't matter; strength is everything.

Miaoxin, heir to the Demon King, witnessed his people being slaughtered by the immortals and reduced to experimental subjects.

So when Hua Yao first heard Miaoxin say that her master killed demons, she didn't believe him. Her master's hands were clean.

Until, after the Immortal-Demon Assembly, Hua Yao saw with her own eyes:

The fair training grounds transformed into a living hell, with demon corpses and shattered bones strewn everywhere;

The Demon King, whom her master called "innately cruel," willingly retreated to protect his people;

And her most respected master turning a blind eye as her junior fellow disciple skinned and dismembered a cat demon he had been keeping.

She had tried to persuade them, begged them, questioned them, but it happened anyway. Her master said it was for her, and for the Immortal Sect.

The supposed "irreconcilable divide between immortals and demons" was nothing but a lie. The immortal and demon clans shared the same origins.

The immortals were powerful because they had stolen the demons' cores and altered the laws of Heaven!

When Miaoxin was chained to the Demon Execution Platform, when her master pierced his heart, Hua Yao finally understood:

Seek peace through silence, and peace perishes. Seek peace through struggle, and peace survives.

In front of everyone, she severed her ties with the Immortal Sect and tore up her prestigious immortal registry.

There are countless paths in this world, and Hua Yao chose the most difficult one.

Who says faith belongs only to the gods?

The righteous path of the mortal world is rugged, but I'll take the unorthodox route and live it up.

From the first time Miaoxin saw Hua Yao and got beaten flat by her, he decided he would marry no one but her. But after Hua Yao pulled one outrageous stunt after another, he began to doubt her true motives. He transformed into a little cat and refused to admit he knew her.

What a joke. He was already wrapped around her finger as a human, yet thought turning into a cat would let him get the upper hand. Instead, Hua Yao pinned him to the ground and thoroughly overpowered him, forcing him back into human form without a stitch of clothing.

In the end, he even offered her his demon core with both hands.

Hua Yao: "Miaoxin, do you believe in the gods?"

Miaoxin: "I do."

Hua Yao: "Then why don't you pray to them to change the demons' plight?"

Miaoxin: "Because each person only gets one wish."

Hua Yao: "What did you wish for?"

Miaoxin: "To meet you."

Hua Yao: "Good thing I wished for world peace."

--- Love-brained is just a front. Overturning the old order is the real goal!

Shen Qianlian's husband, Mo Wuwei, was someone she snatched from the Immortal Realm. It's all the rage in the Demon Realm.

She locked him in a room, making him serve her and keep her happy.

He was obedient, but there was no light in his eyes.

She had always wanted not just a person's body, but their heart too.

So she learned to plant flowers for him and take a sword for him, like the heroines in the storybooks, and laid the Demon Realm's finest treasures before him.

Until her older sister, resurrected from the dead, stood before her and called out, "Wuwei."

She saw Mo Wuwei's expression. It was a tenderness she had never seen before.

So he had never stayed by her side for her sake.

It was only because her face looked so much like the woman he had loved from afar.

Shen Qianlian burned every storybook and tore her heart out of her chest.

Later, Mo Wuwei knelt before her, eyes red, and begged, "Please, look at me, the way you used to."

Shen Qianlian looked down at him and smiled.

"Then come with me and raze the Immortal Realm to the ground."

*

Mo Wuwei, the foremost person in the Immortal Realm, was cold and reserved, abstinent, and devoted to the common people.

Everyone said he had no weaknesses.

Until Shen Qianlian stormed the Immortal Realm and took him away in front of everyone.

He looked at her face in a daze. He knew who she resembled.

He stayed.

Again and again, he told himself: I stayed here not because of her.

Absolutely not.

Only when his beloved returned from the dead and stood before him did he understand his own true feelings.

But she had already torn her heart out with her own hands and thrown it away.

Later, when the Immortal Realm besieged the Demon Realm and demanded that Mo Wuwei kill his wife to prove his Dao, she closed her eyes.

But he lowered his sword.

He suddenly remembered that three hundred years ago, someone had asked him, "Mo Wuwei, do you have any weaknesses?"

He had said, "No."

Now he knew the answer.

His weakness was named Shen Qianlian.
