If you’d at least slept with Zhao Rongrong, I might’ve felt it was worth the pain. But you didn’t even get that far and still ended up useless. Now I’m stuck living like a widow. Don’t you feel any guilt?”
He Tianzhuo flushed red, his breathing shallow and rapid. Every word she said cut deep. She was stabbing him right where it hurt—and he couldn’t deny any of it.
Back when rumors first broke online about his injury, he’d already felt humiliated. He’d been the one to fan the flames. He hadn’t expected her to bring it up now, especially not like this.
His fists clenched tightly as he gritted his teeth. “So you want a divorce?!”
“Yes!” Qingli said without hesitation. Her eyes flicked toward a certain area of his body with undisguised disdain. “You’re already broken, and I can’t even find someone else? Yeah, let’s divorce. Once we do, I’ll be free to find as many men as I want—maybe even have a kid.”
“Su Qingli!” He Tianzhuo roared.
His voice echoed in the room.
Qingli replied lazily, “I hear you loud and clear. What, you can’t perform, can’t reproduce, and I can’t even talk about it? Poor me.”
That was the last straw.
He Tianzhuo completely lost it, throwing the chair in his hands to the ground with a loud bang and storming toward her, shouting, “I’m broken? I’ll show you how broken I am—”
Just as Qingli was about to fight back, the door burst open.
Ning Xi had been listening outside. Sensing trouble, he rushed in—just in time to see He Tianzhuo lunging toward her. Qingli’s slender frame looked vulnerable, like she was being cornered.
Without thinking, Ning Xi launched a kick.
Thud—He Tianzhuo hit the floor, dazed and confused as he stared up at the person who’d come out of nowhere.
“Pfft!” Qingli burst out laughing.
Ning Xi’s panic faded a little, though he still asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Qingli said, waving him off. Her smile was radiant. “Nice kick.”
Standing in a white void, when Fengguang saw the book titled Past Lives and Present: The Demon King’s Lover, she froze for a moment before asking uncertainly, “System-kun, are you saying I have to live two lifetimes in this story?”
Even though she wasn’t the main character, she was still an important supporting one—engaged to the male lead, no less. There had to be a reason the story transitioned from past lives to the present. She probably played a key role in that, maybe scheming a little in the heroine’s past life or something.
“The host may now begin receiving the storyline.”
Fengguang was silent but closed her eyes to accept the incoming plot data. What she learned made her feel an intense headache.
So, five hundred years ago, during the great war between immortals and demons, the demon lord Jun Yu was ruthless and cold-hearted, with no concept of love. But by chance, he encountered a carefree young celestial on the shores of the East Sea. That girl was the Dragon Princess of the Eastern Sea, though because she disliked cultivation, people thought she was just a low-ranking fairy. Naive and cheerful, she stood in stark contrast to Jun Yu’s dark and emotionless world—and for once, he was moved.
He did develop feelings for her, but they were shallow—he liked her, but he didn’t love her. He was, after all, the Demon King: rational, aloof, and focused on conquest. So when the demons eventually invaded the Eastern Sea, the fierce battle caused the Sea Calming Pearl to destabilize, which triggered a massive tsunami, devastating nearby cities and threatening the extinction of the sea dragon clan.
At that moment, the Dragon Princess sacrificed herself, using her entire cultivation to suppress the chaotic Sea Pearl. And she died because of it.
By any standard, it was a tragic love story. But the kicker? The Dragon Princess wasn’t even the heroine. Just a supporting character. Her death did awaken a sense of loss and reflection in Jun Yu, but she wasn’t the one who truly changed him. That would be the actual heroine: Xia Yanyu.
If the Dragon Princess stirred his heart, then Xia Yanyu captured it.
The Dragon Princess’s death made Jun Yu feel that all his wars were meaningless. He agreed to a temporary truce with the immortals. And during the next five hundred years of his disappearance, he searched for the Dragon Princess’s reincarnation.
Then came the 21st century. He finally found her, but as twins. That’s right: she had reincarnated as a pair of identical twin sisters. Even their spiritual roots were identical. Jun Yu couldn’t tell which one was the reincarnation, so he remained in hiding, watching over them for 18 years, protecting them from the shadows.
On their eighteenth birthday, he finally made contact. The more he interacted with them, the more he found himself drawn to one of them—Xia Yanyu. Just as their relationship was blossoming… the other twin regained memories of her past life.
As for the second male lead… well, he’s a demon beast of unknown origin. No one knows exactly what kind of creature he is, but it’s well-known across all three realms that he and Jun Yu have been enemies for centuries. Now they’ve both fallen for the same woman—let’s just say things got a lot messier.
The System explained, “This world is different from the ones before. It deals with reincarnation and past lives. In the previous life, your character—the supporting female—does fall in love with the male lead.”
“So?”
“To ensure the storyline unfolds properly, I will temporarily seal your memories. Once the mission is complete and the target has been successfully captured, your memories will be restored.”
“…Can I refuse?”
“No.”
Fengguang pursed her lips. She had no words.
