Standing in a white void, Feng Guang blinked in surprise when she saw the book titled Past Lives and Present: The Demon King’s Lover. After a moment, she asked uncertainly, “System-kun, don’t tell me this means I have to live two lifetimes in this story?”
Even if she wasn’t the female lead, she was still an important supporting character—and not just any supporting character, but the male lead’s fiancée. If the plot required some transition from past to present life between the leads, she was probably instrumental in it. Maybe she’d schemed a little in a past life or something.
“You may receive the plot summary now,” the system replied.
Feng Guang fell silent, then closed her eyes and accepted the download. And the moment she did, she felt a deep, familiar headache coming on.
So, five hundred years ago, a great war between the immortals and the demons was raging. The demon lord, Jun Yu, was a cold-blooded tyrant who killed without blinking—he knew nothing of love or affection. But one day, by chance, he met a young celestial who had sneaked out to play by the Eastern Sea. This so-called little fairy was the Eastern Sea Dragon Princess, but because she hated cultivating and slacked off all the time, people mistook her for a low-level immortal. Naive and lively, she stood out in a way that deeply intrigued the emotionally stunted demon lord.
Jun Yu was intrigued by the dragon girl—moved, even. But he didn’t fall in love. He was still the ruler of a demonic race, fundamentally cold-hearted. So, despite his feelings, he didn’t abandon his plans to attack the heavens. When his armies reached the Eastern Sea, their violent advance disrupted the region’s spiritual core and shattered the Sea-Calming Pearl. A tsunami swallowed coastal towns, and the dragon clan faced utter annihilation.
At that moment, the dragon girl sacrificed her life and her entire cultivation to restore the pearl and stop the chaos. And she died.
Feng Guang could only sigh—what a tragic love story. But here’s the thing: the dragon girl wasn’t the female lead. She was a supporting character. Sure, her death left Jun Yu shaken and empty, but the actual heroine—the one who truly captured his heart—was a modern girl named Xia Yanyu.
You could say the dragon girl made his heart flutter, but Xia Yanyu made it beat.
The dragon girl’s death changed Jun Yu. He stopped fighting and vanished, spending the next five centuries searching for her reincarnation. Eventually, in the 21st century, he found her—or at least, two versions of her.
Because when the dragon girl reincarnated, she became part of a pair of identical twins—identical in appearance and even in spiritual essence. Jun Yu couldn’t tell which one was the real one, so he secretly stayed near them for eighteen years, protecting them from the shadows.
Then, finally, when they turned eighteen, he emerged from hiding and began interacting with them. And slowly, he fell for one of them—Xia Yanyu. But just as their feelings deepened, the other twin started regaining memories of her past life.
As for the second male lead? He’s a demon beast of unknown origin, infamous across the three realms for being Jun Yu’s lifelong rival. And now, they’ve both fallen for the same woman.
The system added calmly, “This world is unlike previous ones. It spans past and present lives. The female supporting character is designed to fall in love with the male lead in a past life.”
“So?” Feng Guang asked warily.
“I will temporarily seal your memory to allow the events of the second life to occur naturally. Once you complete your objective, your memory will be restored.”
“…Can I refuse?”
“No.”
Feng Guang rolled her eyes. “Of course I can’t.”
