I, Lord of the Abyss, Am Forced to Work for My Archenemy

Lu Ling was the most vicious being in the Abyss, its mighty ruler. But after an accident left her inhabiting the body of a human girl, she was forced to scrape by in the world of mysticism.

To hide her identity, Lu Ling diligently played the part of a delicate, helpless white lotus: fainting at the sight of ghosts and crying whenever evil spirits appeared. She successfully became the darling of the mystical community.

But Wen Xiangzhu, heir to the Wen family and the greatest prodigy in the mystical arts, kept his eyes on Lu Ling at all times, as if to say, “Go on, keep acting.”

On the surface, Lu Ling looked on the verge of tears. “Boss, I really am just a regular newbie...” Behind his back, she put curses on him, unleashed yin spirits, and crept to his bedside in the middle of the night to scare him.

Until one day, he grabbed Lu Ling by the wrist and sneered. “Had enough of pretending?”

Lu Ling: “...Can I still make a run for it?”

He calmly pulled out a contract. “Run? Work for me and pay off your debt first. We still haven’t settled the score for you blowing up my family’s ancestral graves.”

Later, the mystical community went into an uproar. “How did Lu Ling, the one who fainted at the drop of a hat, turn out to be the ruler of the Abyss?!”

“And even more unbelievable, why is she working for her archrival?!”
