Standing in a stark white space, Fengguang froze for a moment when she saw the book titled Past Lives and Present: The Demon King’s Lover. Then she hesitantly asked, “System-kun, does this mean I’m going to have to live through two lifetimes in this story?”
Even though she wasn’t the female lead, she was still an important supporting character—the male lead’s fiancée, no less. It was obvious that if the story transitioned from a past life to the present, she’d play a major role. She probably did something sneaky in the past to influence the female lead’s fate or relationship.
“Host, you may now receive the storyline.”
Fengguang fell silent, then closed her eyes to absorb the plot. The moment she understood it, she felt a headache coming on.
So, five hundred years ago, during a major war between the immortals and demons, the demon clan’s leader, Lord Jun Yu, was known for being cold, ruthless, and emotionless. He had never understood what love was—until one day, by chance, he encountered a young celestial woman who had sneaked out to play by the Eastern Sea.
This “young celestial” was the dragon princess of the Eastern Sea. Because she didn’t like cultivating, people mistook her for a low-level immortal. Naive and cheerful, her carefree nature managed to capture the attention of the dark, emotionless demon king.
Jun Yu did indeed develop feelings for her—but only “feelings,” not actual love. He was still the leader of a race and fundamentally cold-hearted. Though intrigued, he had no intention of giving up his plans for war against the immortals.
When the demon army finally launched its attack on the Eastern Sea, the violent clash shattered the Sea Calming Pearl, causing a massive tsunami that devastated towns and villages along the coast. The dragon clan, too, was on the brink of destruction. It was then that the dragon princess sacrificed herself, using her entire cultivation and life to stabilize the Sea Calming Pearl, dying in the process.
Fengguang thought it was a pretty tragic backstory. But here’s the kicker: the dragon princess wasn’t even the main character. She played a supporting role. Sure, her death made Jun Yu realize that not everything in the world went his way and that life wasn’t just about conquest. He even disappeared for five centuries, searching for her reincarnation. But the one who truly made him fall in love? That was the actual female lead, Xia Yanyu.
The dragon princess stirred his heart, but Xia Yanyu captured it.
Yes, he spent five hundred years trying to find the dragon princess’s reincarnation, and he finally did—in the 21st century. Except… there were two of them.
Why two? Because the reincarnated dragon princess was born into a family with twin daughters. They looked identical, and even their spiritual roots were the same. Jun Yu couldn’t tell which one was the real reincarnation. So he secretly followed and protected both for eighteen years.
The year they turned eighteen, he finally couldn’t hold back and approached them. As he spent time with them, he began to fall for one—the actual female lead, Xia Yanyu. But just as their relationship blossomed, the other sister began to regain memories of her past life.
As for the second male lead… he was a mysterious demon. No one ever figured out what kind of demon he was, but everyone in the three realms knew he had been at odds with Jun Yu for centuries. Now they were after the same woman, which made things even more intense.
The system said calmly, “This world is different from the ones before. It involves reincarnation. In this story, the supporting female character falls in love with the male lead in her past life.”
“So?”
“I’ll temporarily seal your memories to ensure the second life unfolds naturally. Once you successfully capture the target, your memories will be restored.”
“…Can I say no?”
“No.”
Fengguang pouted. She had no comeback.
This is a repeat of chapter 603.
