The Demon Lord Became My Secret Lover

Song Nian'an transmigrates into a novel as the male lead's White Moonlight fiancee. On their wedding day, an Immortal Venerable arrives, and he joins the sect to pursue the Dao, leaving her with just one word: "Wait for me."

The original owner waited her entire life for him.

But Song Nian'an is different.

Yeah, right. Wait for him? By then she'd be old and past her prime. So she hurried off to find someone else to marry, only to have a cultivation sect snatch him away too. The next one, same story.

Perhaps it's a bug caused by the male lead's influence: every person engaged to her has exceptional talent for cultivation.

"..." So they're all just picking on her, huh?

The elders of the various sects: This girl has such a discerning eye. We'll come here to recruit from now on.

With her love life going nowhere, Song Nian'an decides to build a career instead.

Her reputation for bringing good fortune to her fiances has spread far and wide. Plenty of people want to get engaged to her so they can cultivate and attain the Dao.

With all the compensation and thank-you gifts, she's become quite the rich woman.

She even picks up a handsome accountant with red lips and pearly teeth. He doesn't want a title, just to dutifully keep her bed warm.

Later, when Song Nian'an finally decides to retire from the matchmaking business and get married for real, an elder from a sect comes to try to recruit her fiance.

But after seeing the groom's face, they fall into an odd silence before saying, "Miss, you really have no standards, do you? You'd even marry this demon? Try finding someone decent."

"?" Wait, who did you say he was?

Xie Guilin loves causing trouble for cultivators. When he learns that many of the promising talents the sects are recruiting all come from one unremarkable mountain village, he grows curious and goes to investigate. There, he is drawn to a clear-eyed young woman.

But the line of people hoping to marry the woman he loves is so long it stretches from one village to the next. There are men and women alike, and killing them all would probably upset her.

That's all right. He's thoughtful and considerate. He'll get in first by becoming her secret lover. Sooner or later, his turn will come.
