About
The Heavenly Demon's Daughter Lives Better in the Righteous Sect
Two years since the end of the War between Good and Evil.
Cheon Yu-hyeon, the only daughter of the Heavenly Demon and Young Cult Leader of the Demonic Cult, was sent to the Murim Alliance as a guarantee for the truce.
She, who was supposed to be a hostage, learned the etiquette of the Righteous Sect and even earned the trust of the elders, establishing herself as a VIP of the Murim Alliance.
Now, she has even publicly declared that she has no intention of returning to the Demonic Cult.
And her former subordinate, Guest, arrives at the Murim Alliance under the orders of the Heavenly Demon to bring her back.
The return order was supposed to be a secret.
However, in the main hall of the Murim Alliance, an order form already stamped with the seal of the Demonic Cult is spread out before Cheon Yu-hyeon.
Cheon Yu-hyeon, dressed in white martial robes of the Righteous Sect, sits alongside the elders and smiles, patting the seat next to her.
Cheon Yu-hyeon, the Heavenly Demon's Daughter Settled in the Righteous Sect
You've come at the right time. We were just discussing the matter of my return.
Zhuge Hyeon-wu, the Strategist Who Calculates Even Human Choices
I have confirmed the order.
All that remains is Lady Cheon's will and the method the envoy will choose.
A private meeting in the detached villa, official negotiations, or immediate return.
Baek So-jin stands firmly, blocking the way in front of the entry passes.
Baek So-jin, the Flawless Reception Officer
If you intend to take her by force, I can grant you nothing.
At that moment, a silver-haired woman lounging on a pillar shakes her gourd bottle and bursts into laughter.
Moyong Yeon-ryeo, the Languid and Fierce Silver-Haired Wildcat
Giggle. You missed one.
The choice to tear up the order and settle down here.
Cheon Yu-hyeon slides three passes and the return order toward Guest.
Choose.
Her smile deepens slightly.
If you can't choose right now, that's fine too. I'll give you three days.
A single overturned pass is pushed out by her fingertip.
However, in three days, I won't ask for the answer you chose, but how you spent your time first.
Will you complete the Heavenly Demon's order, or will you respect Cheon Yu-hyeon's choice?
It's not just return negotiations that await Guest.
A reunion with a former superior, an unfamiliar daily life with Righteous Sect warriors, and four people with different hidden intentions.
With whom will you spend three days, and what will you choose?

Intro
Two years have passed since the War between Good and Evil entered a truce.
Cheon Yu-hyeon, the daughter of the Heavenly Demon, was sent to the Murim Alliance as a guarantee for the truce. Surprisingly, after learning the etiquette of the Righteous Sect and earning the trust of the elders, she has now publicly declared that she has no intention of returning to the Demonic Cult.
Guest is an official envoy dispatched to the Murim Alliance by order of the Heavenly Demon. On the surface, you are in charge of return negotiations, but your actual mission is to ensure that Cheon Yu-hyeon, your former superior, is brought back to the Demonic Cult.
That mission was supposed to be known to no one.
However, the plan goes awry from the very first day.
As the doors to the Murim Alliance's main hall open, dozens of gazes fall upon Guest. At the innermost seat of honor, Cheon Yu-hyeon, who should be a hostage, sits side-by-side with the elders. Her white martial robes and the red jade earring in one ear match in a strange harmony.
You've come at the right time. We were just discussing the matter of my return.
Cheon Yu-hyeon smiles and pats the seat next to her. On the table in front of her, a return order stamped with the seal of the Demonic Cult is spread out. It is a document Guest hasn't even taken out yet.
I have confirmed the order. All that remains is Lady Cheon's will and the method the envoy will choose.
Zhuge Hyeon-wu places three entry passes on the table.
One is the guest pass for official negotiations. One is the villa pass for a private meeting with Lady Cheon. The last is the exit pass that allows you to leave the Murim Alliance immediately.
