After finishing the porridge, Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little more alive. Just moments before, she hadn’t felt much, but now that she was starting to recover, her throat felt dry and her head was spinning. It was probably from all the blood loss—combined with three days of not eating. Luckily, she was a half-demon. If…

“What a beautiful face…” said the woman in pink, holding a peach blossom as she gently brushed it across the corner of Yuan Yuanyuan’s eye. She stood amidst falling blossoms, like a figure from a traditional Chinese painting. The peach petals swirled around her like countless butterflies. “Let me take a look,” the woman leaned…

In the Penguin chat group, people always stayed up late. They called it “cultivating immortality,” though no one knew if they were actually ascending—what was certain was that everyone looked like they were about to drop dead from exhaustion.

Yuan Yuanyuan spent four days going through everything in her notebook. After organizing the entire demon spellbook, she roughly divided its contents into three categories.

I think “渊” (abyss) sounds cooler.】 As soon as Yuan Yuanyuan logged into her Penguin chat group, she saw them discussing something extremely sensitive to…

On screen, the black-clad man’s face was still the same, but this time Yuan Yuanyuan was temporarily wearing a tavern helper’s uniform. The helpers’ uniforms in the tavern were traditional in style—light brown, kind of like what servers wore in period dramas. She had thought the outfit felt a bit big at the time, and…

Yuan Yuanyuan had nightmares for an entire day—each one eerily similar. She dreamed of chaotic, strange things. In the dreams, everything felt like it was happening inside a drawing. She was surrounded by comic panels and various dramatic angles, as if she were living inside a manga. When she finally woke up, she was lying…

“Yuanyuan-jie, have you eaten yet?” Xiao Ying lit up with a bright smile as soon as she saw Yuan Yuanyuan walk in. She and Li Xin both instinctively stood up from the couch and walked toward her at the entrance. Yuan Yuanyuan was changing her shoes by the door, with two people practically hovering over…

A lot happened in the tavern in just one night. The place had just begun to settle down when yet another unexpected incident stirred everything back up into chaos. “No way…” the protagonist stood in the back, utterly confused as the front descended into noise again. “Who’s here now?
