I Used to Be a Sweeping-Boy in My Past Life

Two lifetimes ago, she was Yu Houqing, the welcoming disciple of the Buddha who would descend into the mortal world. She served Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha and dwelled in the netherworld for ages. Why would she want to stir up the mortal world? In this life, she is Zhong Xiaoyuan, a gossip reporter in the Republican era: kind, resilient, brilliant, and greedy for money and food. The arrogant Night Yan, Crown Prince of the Demon Realm and the most handsome man in the Six Realms, has a pair of captivating peach-blossom eyes and a dashing, uninhibited air, but beneath it lies a deeply devoted heart. Yun Chu, a gentle and refined immortal lord with an inborn bewitching charm, is both demon and immortal. Three thousand years ago, during a war between immortals and demons, Yu Houqing, who had transcended the Six Realms, intervened in their conflict on a whim, setting in motion a chain of karma that would entangle three people across several lifetimes. The tears on the face of the young Night Yan, barely a thousand years old, became a dream that lingered through her restless nights, a bond that endured across three lifetimes. The King of the Underworld, Li Haolin, who stops at nothing to gain fame, rank, and power; Yijin, the great fairy she had once admired for her carefree ways, but who was in truth as venomous as a snake; Minmin, the forthright and adorable princess of the Sukhuang clan; Princess Nina of the Western Demon Royal House... The struggle for sixteen shards of jade, and the temptation of ushering in a new era and becoming ruler of the world... Love, hate, anger, and obsession: timeless themes... Zhong Xiaoyuan had thought all she needed was to live a healthy, peaceful life. But how could she have known that, in the end, she would willingly become a demon for someone, all because of a single thought?
