Has the Demon Lord Caught the Immortal Yet?

[Emotionally oblivious, career-minded transmigrator / Immortal x Dark, world-weary, love-struck Demon Lord]

[Abstract Romance Blurb]

Qiu Yu transmigrates into a xianxia game overnight, becoming a traitor to the immortal sects whom everyone wants dead.

To make matters worse, she gets mixed up with the demons, leaving her unable to clear her name no matter how hard she tries.

Qiu Yu grits her teeth. "Then I'll make it official!"

So she follows a demon general to the Demon Realm and meets the unpredictable Demon Venerable of legend.

When Qiu Yu first meets the Demon Lord, he seems quite easy to talk to. But why does his face suddenly darken when he hears that she's already engaged?

Fortunately, she gets through it without incident. Qiu Yu pats her chest. "He really is an unpredictable Demon Lord. He changes his tune faster than you can turn a page."

That gloomy expression is the Demon Lord's last shred of pride.

He spent over a hundred years pursuing his wife and over twenty years a widower. Now she's back with no memory and engaged to someone else.

She runs! He pursues! The whole immortal world won't get away!

The immortal sects: "Wait, why us?"

The Demon Lord clings to Qiu Yu every day, like a time bomb that could go off at any moment.

When Qiu Yu eats, he urges her to throw it up. When she says his wrist cord is ugly, he sneers.

Qiu Yu: "What a handful~"

Until Qiu Yu regains her memories.

The Demon Venerable presses her relentlessly. "The place where we pledged our love means nothing to you?"

Qiu Yu: "..."

"The one you braided for me on the Qixi Festival is ugly?"

"..."

Qiu Yu: You shouldn't say too much when you've lost your memory...

As soon as her memories return, Qiu Yu rushes around rescuing people: the masses, the good turtle from her past life, and her friends in this life.

In the course of her rescues, she ends up trapped beneath the Demon Palace, a lock around her wrist.

The Demon Lord's face darkens. "Why can anyone be a reason for you to leave me behind?"

That night, beneath the Demon Palace, the Demon Venerable and the Immortal indulge in passion.

From then on, Qiu Yu takes the Demon Lord everywhere she goes. This terrifies everyone in the immortal sects.

Could the rumors of an illicit affair between the Immortal and that Demon Lord really be true?

[Grand, Plot-Focused Blurb]

A hundred years ago, the human realm thrived and the demons declined, all thanks to the Heavenly Dao. High above the nine heavens stood the Ziwei Immortal Emperor.

But the good times did not last. Tianshu, leader of the immortals, joined forces with the Demon Venerable to seize power. They murdered the Immortal Emperor, destroyed the Heavenly Dao, and severed the path to immortality. After that, spiritual energy from the human realm flowed backward into the Demon Realm, and the demons seemed poised to break through into the world. Perhaps Tianshu suffered retribution too, for he fell alongside the Heavenly Dao.

The once-revered Star Lord became the immortal sects' most reviled figure overnight, and they denounced him at every turn.

But now the Immortal has truly returned. Why is everyone suddenly cowering?

Everyone: "What a joke. That's the Star Lord who even slew the Immortal Emperor. It's easy enough to badmouth the Immortal when he's dead, but when you see him in person, who wouldn't respectfully call him 'Immortal'?"
