A Dark and Adorable Beauty: The Demon Consort Strikes

After transmigrating, she was shoved into a gift chest by her own father and sold into his household as a human good-luck charm for a sickly young master. She had planned to take it easy until she came of age, then wander the world. Who knew the young master would be so wonderful that she’d want to protect him… Fine, she’d made up her mind: she would cure his illness and nurse him back to health. Hmm? You dare bully him? I’ll make a straw doll and curse you into madness. Oh? You dare insult him? I’ll draw a peach-blossom charm and stick it on you, so you attract nothing but rotten romances. Ha! You dare lay a hand on him? I’ll mess with your feng shui until your money’s gone and you’re unlucky for the rest of your life! But… Young Master, aren’t you supposed to be the delicate, sickly beauty, as fair as snow and jade? You’re so fierce. Does your family know? … They say he’s possessed by an evil spirit, so anyone who gets close to him is bound to suffer a bloody disaster. They say his face is as ugly as a demon’s, so he wears a strange mask every day. They say he’s cursed to bring misfortune to those around him, destined to be lonely all his life and die young. He never cared about any of it. He was content to be invisible, the sickly young master in everyone’s eyes, until he met… her. For her, he would tear everything apart and show the world that the rumors were all lies. He would raise an endless sky over her! Then the heavens fell and the earth split open, and the rumors changed: The man before the world was peerless in beauty, unmatched in medicine, flawless as white jade. He could turn the clouds with a wave of his hand and summon rain with the other. He treated everyone with cold indifference, yet lavished all his love on one person and would turn the world upside down for her. “Jiu’er, I offer you my body and soul, a lifetime of honor and riches, and a kingdom as my bride price. Will you marry me?” “No.” “Hmm? Who else do you want to marry? And who could you possibly marry besides me?” His face was still the same, but his tone shifted, and his entire bearing changed in an instant. She stared, stunned. Where had the gentleness gone? The ethereal grace? The gentlemanly manners? Is it really okay to change this much? … For more than a decade, he had slowly lured her in, weaving a vast net from all his tenderness. He bound and enveloped her layer by layer, chipping away at her defenses until he made his home deep in her heart. He refused to believe she could still escape. He would make her understand that in the end, he was the only one she could embrace and the only one she could rely on. He had raised her all the way to adulthood. From the moment she fell into his hands, she was destined never to climb out of his trap. … This is really the story of a darkly adorable, superstitious shut-in who transmigrates into the body of a seven-year-old girl. She spends her days acting cute and well-behaved, pretending to be weak while outsmarting the strong, tricking people, crushing disposable villains, and selling out her enemies. Along the way, she gathers followers, builds her own power, finds powerful allies, and snatches up treasures, all while falling in love with a beautiful man who may be gentle or cold. Together, they face a lively, passionate, funny, and thrilling adventure in another world.
