Reincarnated as a cannon-fodder passerby who dies in the opening scene, Liv runs into Gideon, the world's strongest Demon Lord, an Emperor who kills without batting an eye and a full-fledged devil capable of destroying the world.
The devil takes a curious interest in her, lifting her chin with the tip of his sword. "Should I kill you?"
Liv doesn't want to die!
"Emperor Gideon, actually... I really like you!" Liv strokes the handsome man's cheek, not even blushing.
The reason she loves him is that she doesn't want to die!
To stay alive, sacrifices have to be made, right? She can't sacrifice her body, but she can at least move her lips.
Her kisses, her sweet words that night... Gideon, a pure-hearted puppy of a man, falls for it immediately.
Her alluring voice is sweeter than a poisonous apple, making it impossible not to get drawn in.
He knows full well that these are all lies she tells to stay alive, but Gideon is brimming with confidence. Until that woman steals his dragon scale and escapes with her best friend, vanishing without a trace.
That hateful, despicable little bug, full of lies, actually dumped him like a rag?!
Was everything she said about liking him a lie?
Emperor Gideon thinks about her day and night.
Naturally, he thinks about how to kill that hateful little bug.
He even goes so far as to pretend to be another man, getting close to her and playing with her, so she can learn what it feels like to be deceived.

Liv realizes that the man who could kill her at any moment is acting stranger and stranger. He even makes unreasonable demands, like... if she wants to live, she has to kiss him, or die.
But she doesn't have time for romance.
Because beyond the enormous sky screen, the heavens are silently watching her.
"I'm only a tiny human, ordinary and unremarkable, but I dare... to defy the gods and fight against fate."
"They all say I'm cowardly and timid, just a pretty vase with nothing else to offer. But I dare to wager my life and fight a thousand soldiers alone."
"Would they dare?"
The truth?
Unfortunately, in the eyes of those who claim to stand for light and justice, what they call truth has completely turned into twisted nonsense.
So please allow her, leading a pack of magical beasts and branded a criminal for daring to kill the gods, to smash her way through heaven and earth.
If the Blood Rose Prophecy began with the gods, then it should also end with the gods.
How will it end?
With the death of a god.

- The early story lays the groundwork for the plot. All the threads will come together later. Stay tuned.

- After all, there's plenty worth writing about besides love!
Coming next: After Failing to Assassinate the Enemy Nation's Tyrant [Enemy Spy x Hegemonic Tyrant]
The Central Plains' hegemon is brutal, treacherous, and notorious. He falsely invites the royal houses of eight nations to a feast, using the occasion to demand rare tributes from each country in exchange for peace. It's a banquet where one is almost certain to die.
Ying Zhihui is forced to take her younger sister's place at the banquet and accept the arduous mission of the Hao clan: assassinate the tyrant of Nanwu.
Ambushed along the way and outnumbered, she falls into a river valley.
When she wakes, she discovers she has been sold to the Tan City fighting arena. Two people enter a match; one lives and one dies. They are toys for the powerful to gamble on.
To survive, Ying Zhihui decides to find a useless fool in the cells to use as a shield.
Ying Zhihui takes a liking to the new fool.
He has pale, glowing skin and a handsome, adorable face. It's a shame he's so silly and doesn't seem very bright, but she likes him anyway.
After pretending to be a man all her life, Ying Zhihui wants to experience what it's like to be a woman. So she secretly places her hand on the little fool's firm chest and acts as she pleases.
The little fool's eyes redden as he fights back tears. "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Uh, teaching you how to defend yourself."
The forbidden mountain where the fighting arena stands has complicated terrain and is full of dangers. Yet Tan Zhou, the tyrant of Nanwu, is always protected and indulged by a beautiful, seemingly delicate man.
It isn't until beneath a cascading waterfall that he realizes the beautiful man is actually a woman disguised as a man. Through the misty spray, he sees her back turned to him, her skin as smooth as ice and jade. She smiles as she plays in the water, like a lotus emerging from the water. She has fooled him for so long.
Tan Zhou has always hated people who deceive him.
He should kill her.
But the words that come out of his mouth are, "Brother, will you leave me one day?"
"Our little Yubing is so sweet and adorable. How could I leave you behind?" she replies.
Tan Zhou believes her.
Until her sword pierces him, cutting deep.

Later, at the feast of the eight nations, Tan Zhou sits on the dragon throne wearing a golden mask like a demon. He coldly watches a lovely couple enter to offer their congratulations.
"Oh? It's rare for Imperial Brother to bring a woman home," Tan Zhou says, but his gaze keeps drifting to the serene beauty beside his imperial brother.
Tan Qu lowers his eyes and smiles. "Huihui is the one I love."
Ying Zhihui responds with a shy smile, while inwardly wondering when she can kill these two brothers.
That night, she slips alone into Tan Zhou's bedchamber, planning to kill the tyrant and complete her mission so she can return to her clan. But as soon as she climbs in through the window, a shadow pounces on her and wraps an arm around her waist.
"I knew it. You can't live without me, Sister." The tyrant cries against her.
Ying Zhihui: ?
"Tell me, is Imperial Brother worse in bed than I am?" The tyrant sounds quite confident.
Ying Zhihui: ???
[Reader's Guide]
- Ying Zhihui spends the early story carrying out an assassination mission. Everything she does is political maneuvering and pretense, and she doesn't fall in love with anyone. Tan Zhou mistakenly thinks she's interested in his imperial brother, then takes her by force.
- The female lead is twenty, and the male lead is nineteen.
Theme: Even the insignificant can become gods.
