share time: 2026-02-19 12:35:44

Su Xiaotang, a village healer, rescues Si Ye, a gravely injured fox demon, only to be told by him, "You’re the Demon King from your past life—you must return to the demon realm with me to take the throne." Su Xiaotang refuses immediately—she can’t even defeat the old yellow dog at the village entrance, being a Demon King? Ridiculous! But Si Ye clings to her: he helps cure the village’s plague, shields her from bullies, and even turns her shabby hut into a peach-blossom yard with his demon power. Just as Su Xiaotang gets used to his presence, demon realm traitors attack to steal her "Demon King’s Soul." Si Ye takes a fatal hit for her and coughs up his demon core—revealing that in her past life, she gave up the Demon King throne to reincarnate as a human to save him. He’s waited a thousand years just to make her the Demon King again, so they can stay together forever. Holding the bloodied Si Ye, Su Xiaotang finally realizes: "Becoming the Demon King" was never an order—it’s the sweet confession he’s hidden for a millennium.
