百鬼之主飼養手冊

Shen Ming first met Ye Qingluo in a bright and sunny classroom after a spring rain.

The young man, dressed in a white shirt and sweater vest, raised his head, revealing sharp canine teeth, and declared proudly with his hands on his hips, “Reporting to the teacher! To maintain peace in the mortal realm, I wielded the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and fought a great battle with a demon last night, so I overslept and was late!”

At that time, Shen Ming thought he was just a walking troublemaker, an incurable chuunibyou, and a hot-blooded manga protagonist who couldn’t live without the spotlight.

Until one dark and windy night, he witnessed this fair and delicate classmate commanding terrifying demons with a chilling aura, every move radiating killing intent.

As an “ordinary university student,” Shen Ming wanted to pretend he hadn’t seen anything and stay as far away as possible, but this Yasha demon clung to him relentlessly.

…

Ye Qingluo first met Shen Ming a thousand years ago in Chang’an, a city overrun by demons.

The young general stood proudly amidst the crowd, his Chengying Sword dancing like a silver dragon soaring through the sky, its sharp clang resonating throughout the city.

His stunning sword dance represented a prosperous and flourishing dynasty.

At that time, Ye Qingluo was being hunted by Shen Ming, the renowned “Sword Saint.” The chilling tip of Shen Ming’s sword pressed against his throat, and a cold voice rang out, “Filthy demon, how dare you run rampant in Chang’an?”

Under the blood-red moonlight, the sword glinted like frost. Dark red blood stained the jade-like face of the general in silver armor, making him look like a fearsome demon from the underworld, claiming lives.

…

Until later, Ye Qingluo watched helplessly as Shen Ming died in his arms, his divine essence shattered, his soul entering the cycle of reincarnation.

He searched high and low, but Shen Ming was nowhere to be found.

After a thousand years of searching, Ye Qingluo finally found Shen Ming reincarnated as a human.

This time, he would never let go.

Characters:

Ye Qingluo (Shou): A tsundere and clingy demon king (puppy) who is arrogant and defiant outside but affectionate at home.

Shen Ming (Gong): A human (divine general) who appears sensitive and aloof but is actually gentle and strong.

Notes:

The story features mutual pampering between the main couple, a lighthearted and occasionally action-packed plot, countless sweet moments, and a variety of gods, ghosts, and demons.

The gong is a growth-type character and becomes incredibly powerful later in the story.

The author takes creative liberties with the lore, and some descriptions of demons are inspired by the ancient Chinese text “Classic of Mountains and Seas.” Please do not take them as factual.
