Wen Ying, frail and sickly since childhood, found his greatest joy in gacha games. One night, after hundreds of failed attempts to draw an SSR, his towering rage summoned a demon. Expecting to be devoured, Wen Ying instead defeated the demon and became one himself. His great-grandfather sent a congratulatory message: “You are the hope of our clan! Strive to become the Demon King and fulfill our ancestral wish! I’ll send you to the demon realm to study.” Wen Ying replied, “I refuse.” His great-grandfather warned, “A young demon in the human world will weaken and die, either slain by exorcists or turned into a specimen.” Wen Ying relented, “…Let’s go.” As an ordinary Mirror Demon, aspiring to be the Demon King was like an underachiever dreaming of getting into Tsinghua or Peking University. Wen Ying immersed himself in his demonic powers, turning them into a card-drawing game. As a demon realm underachiever, to avoid failing his first class test, Wen Ying used his demon tail to hook the tail of a ferocious three-headed Hellhound classmate, signaling him not to challenge his rank. The Hellhound didn’t challenge Wen Ying, but his expression was odd. After class, the malevolent bird classmate explained, “When a demon hooks another demon’s tail with their own, it means ‘I like you.'” Wen Ying exclaimed, “Damn it!”
