The Demon King Always Thinks I’m Secretly In Love With Him

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Bai Yang is the youngest son of a rich family who grew up spoiled, unambitious and having no one expect anything from him. He doesn’t really mind this though, because he’s still able to live a simple and happy life.

One day, however, his older brother got into an accident and is now comatose. Bai Yang’s father now has to consider his youngest son to take over the family business. Unfortunately for him, Bai Yang is a weak, timid, and cowardly child. How can he ever succeed?

Wanting to change his son’s personality, the father has Bai Yang transmigrated into the world of Wild Wind, a very famous fantasy novel. Bai Yang’s father hopes the environment of that world will shape his son to be more arrogant and domineering, as a child of a wealthy scion family ought to be.

However, due to an error with the Main System, instead of transmigrating as the protagonist, Bai Yang ends up becoming a cannon fodder villain, Xie Zietian, from the Demon Realm! In order to safely and quickly return to his world, Bai Yang has to ensure that the protagonist, Zhou Ying, ascends to the heavens so his transmigration mission will be complete.

In order to sneak into the human realm and help Zhou Ying, Bai Yang comes up with a variety of excuses to the Demon King of Eternal Night, such as…

Bai Yang, in a dignified manner: “Your Majesty, that person might threaten the demon world. I went to the human world to kill him for you!” (Actually, I went there to meet the protagonist.)

Bai Yang, proclaiming his loyalty: “Your Majesty, hang in there. I will go to the human world to find the elixir for you!” (Actually, I went there to save the protagonist.)

Bai Yang, with an attitude of selfless dedication: “Your Majesty, I just want to go to the human world to further your great cause!” (Actually, I went there to see the protagonist.)

The Demon King’s face remained impassive but, in fact, the tips of his ears were red. He was thinking: I can’t believe he loves me so deeply…

Demon King: “Hmph! Seeing how clingy you are, I’ll accept your love. Tell me! Whatever you need, I’ll give it to you!”

Bai Yang: “****! Your Majesty, I don’t love you.”

Demon King: “No, you love me.”

The Demon King truly believed Bai Yang and he shared a deep mutual love until he discovered that Bai Yang was having an “affair” with a “wild human” …

As a whole, I enjoyed this story. The development, the characters, the comedy, and the ending was pretty good imo.

Ok, so the other reviewers have mentioned r*pe scenes that yes, there were a lot and I also thought it was horrible. R*pe will always be a horrible and traumatic thing and it should have never been included in this story or any other story for the matter if it will not be handled with care and seriousness (especially since the r*pe scenes didn't even affect much of the plot and... more>> it seems like it was just put there for like effect or something idk). I guess all that I could do was accept the fact that mistakes were made in the writing of this story and just read the rest because I really wanted to know how the novel ends and yeah...

Honestly, without the r*pe, I'm sure the story would have progressed just fine if not better. I think that there are so many other situations and events that the author could've used that would have been better than r*pe or forcing the MC to have s*x. It's honestly such a shame. <<less

I worried that it would be love triangle with the protagonist of the novel. But I was surprised by the increasing interactions between MC and ML. The misunderstanding between them was really funny and entertaining.

This one was so fresh!

The 100+ chapters felt like nothing even though I'm so busy right now and I don't have so many time to read.

It's funny, but also had me weeping a little bit in some chapters, I absolutely recommend this novel to anyone who (like me cofcof) is a tr*shy tr*sh for transmigration novels haha <3 especially if you don't want to suffer so much.

... more>> The only thing is now I need more of Zhou Ying haha, especially after the extra... Anyway, just my dreamy wish.

This is a hilarious novel with a hilarious MC and a hilarious ML, but also with plot and other interesting characters; so, yes, if you are into the transmigration stuff, this is a must <3 <<less

Overall this was an interesting story. I liked the beginning of it more than the end, but the ending is satisfying enough. I picked up this novel because I love transmigration into xianxia/wuxia/ancient China with comedy and BL (SVSS is my favorite). This one definitely delivered that well in the beginning. The MC's attempts to help the story protagonist being perceived by the Demon King as devotion is hilarious. The plot is actually deeper too as the story develops.

The author did a good job pacing the story and keeping the... more>> humor throughout even as the story got more complex towards the end. It's also nice that this story didn't unnecessarily drag out into 200+ chapters. However, I wouldn't give this 5 starts either. I also feel like the ending is a little... too out there?

Spoiler

The premise that he needed to go through his journey as a villain so that he can wake up in the real world is a bit too much for me. I really can't suspend disbelief enough on this kind of treatment. Also I'm not too fond of the trope of "and then MC & ML woke up in modern day real world and got together." It's too much of a cop-out / deus ex machina for me. There are very few novels that do this trope well.

[collapse]

TLDR this story is a straightforward and entertaining read, but doesn't leave a strong impression in the end. Read this if you just want to have fun reading a transmigration BL with some comedy sprinkled throughout. <<less

The romantic part of the story is built on many, many misunderstandings.

And that's what I like a lot about this novel. Each misunderstanding/misconception on the part of the ML and other characters (even the MC at some points) is humorous, and the author really hits the nail on the head by showing different perspectives on the misunderstandigs.

I like the system's interactions ("harass a hottie a day"), though at some points I did find the system a bit tedious.

I like it enough that I'm not going to throw away my brain... more>> cells MTLing, and will patinetly wait for Chrysanthemum Garden's translations (which I quite like, to be honest). <<less

I really liked the beginning, the middle was boring, and the ending was satisfying for me. There's not alot of depth to the MC and the ML's relationship at all. I feel like their relationship wasn't that deep. Their love all started on misunderstandings and I felt the whole book this never really got resolved in that they didn't really get to fall in love with their true selves.

Overall its still a good read. The MC was annoying sometimes tho. And you feel sweetness for the ML who has never... more>> known love before. Always blushing and trying his best for his love. <<less

HOW is this a 4.6? The protagonist is dumb, and can’t do anything on his own. He is constantly just being saved by the ML. Additionally, the writing doesn’t flow at all, and it TELLS not shows. Honestly 3 or 4/10 story.

Haha, this was interesting. I have yet to read a novel like this and it was truly a refreshing read.

I have read stories where the MC helps the protagonist. I have also read stories where the MC helps the villain. And yet, this novel tells a story where the MC secretly helps the protagonist while sticking with the villain. Did I successfully hook you in? Because I did get hooked rather quickly.

The romance... haha, it's too funny! There are lots of misunderstandings going on between the MC and ML (the... more>> villain, a.k.a demon king). MC possessed the body of the demon king's subordinate which drowned himself in lust, while MC himself doesn't have an interest in that kind of stuff. But he was forced to do the daily task of flirting with anyone around him. So... he coughs accidentally groped the demon king's butt. You can guess the rest... The misunderstanding that MC likes the demon king stems from there.

It's fascinating to see how the demon king is a genius in stratagems and governing, yet... he has a brain hole on romance. He did say he didn't really do romance... but anyways, I digress. ML tries to convince MC that he (MC) is indeed in love with him, to the point of forcing that 'fact' towards him. Meanwhile, MC really didn't lean that way because all his actions were intended to help the protagonist. LOL

So far, I'm loving this novel. MC knows how to make decisions (despite them not being the best at every occasion). And his decisions, most of the time are very entertaining! It's certainly not what you would expect.

One more thing. I LOVE Xiao Ling. She's hands down the scene-stealer of this novel. Her personality is very fresh. She's funny, supportive, and throws out remarks here and there which cracks me up. <<less

It was a funny, pretty light-hearted novel. Things started to get really rushed near the end though, and there a little bit of general confusion all over the place. It only made sense after reading a little further, then going back and re-reading. I wasn't sure if it was the translation that was confusing or if it was the novel itself.

I didn't really enjoy the system though. She was just annoying and kind of... there I guess. Just to remind MC to grope people every once in a while. -_-

This is definitely one of the best transmigration series out there. It has wonderful characters and an actual plot. The MC and ML also don't fall in love with each other at first glance of even second glance. The ML is an absolute innocent baby despite the exterior lmao ... more>>
Spoiler

and the MC initially tries to play it off that he was the top because of the ML acting like a shy maiden HhHAhAhaHA

[collapse]

The setting and initial premise actually does serve a purpose and is not just for plot convenience, this is 100% up on my list of faves <<less

God where do I start?

This story is so good!! I really have to thank the translators in translating this wonderful gem but when I reached the latest translated chapter - I couldn't help but want to read more!!!

I love the MC, he really changed from the beginning where he was a coward but over time you could notice that he became sly and smart! Actually he is naturally smart, hes just really lazy but when placed under pressure he could think fast

ML is also adorable, he's an adorable narcissist. Hes... more>> a scary boss demon but when you really get to know him, hes actually quite adorable especially when his ears turns red when shy.

The system xiao ling is super cute and for a system she's more of a viewer than helping hahaha but their conversations with the MC is really entertaining, shes not like a golden finger but more of a friend that grows on to you.

Spoiler

shes also selfless, she sacrificed her memory data to help the MC save ML's data but since ML was actually a real person, she was able to save a portion of the world instead

[collapse]

Spoiler

in the ending or side story, it turns out xiao ling was the daughter of the creator of the system, she was 13 years old and died from cancer. She was created as an AI by the father to remember her

[collapse]

Every thing really pieces itself together when you read the story. I also love it when the story protagonist basically got adopted by the MC and ML XDDD

Spoiler

MC: I am your father

Protagonist:...

MC: (points at demon king ML) he's your step-father

Protagonist: NOOOOOOOO!!!!

ML: call me daddy

Me: huehuehue

I loved this story so much I MTL’d it to the end.

I usually hate stories that center around misunderstandings, but this was the ‘funny’ kind of misunderstanding that brought the two leads together, instead of tearing them apart.

The ML is a huge man-baby, but I adore him. He’s so sweet to the MC once he fell in love~

I am so, so, damn hooked! Its to the point I want more! Like:

Spoiler

I want protag/ Zhou Ying to remember our MC/ Bai Yang/ Xie ZeTian when he ascends or something! I feel so sorry for Zhou boy! He got the short end of the stick! Especially around the end. Although, him not remembering the MC is also a great thing 'cause if does remember, he'll have immense trauma.

[collapse]
But oh well, all in all the novel is so great I read the MTL til the end! This is actually not my first time reading an MTL, however its my first time reading the MTL from the first to the last chapter! And even an extra chapter at that. All I can say is: It was all worth it!

I even want more but its already completed! What can I say?!

Alright, first, the plot is smooth. Like smoothy smooth with some mint mixed. (Am I the only one who likes that? OK).

Second, the character development is amazing. When I look back at the first few chapters and I noticed our MC is a pure white rabbit and then I look at the current MC who's as sly as a cunning black bellied fox. This Laozi was left speechless.

The demon king is a huge narcissist (in a good way) and the misunderstanding always made me LOL.

The villains aren't the type that "I am offended. You didn't do anything but I'm still offended so I will fight to the death with you!"

Spoiler

Although, at that time when MC and ML went to the human world to see the scenery (actually, MC went there to check on the protagonist) ML killed some canon fodder and those canon fodder were a little like the above aforementioned but other than that, the other characters has their own personality.

[collapse]

The system.... She feels like a mother. I like her very very much.

Spoiler

At that time when she sacrificed herself to get the data of ML (who actually doesn't need to. But at the end helped form the virtual world again) I was so touched! She's the best system, so far, (for me)

[collapse]

It is a very good read. I actually only read this to substitute another novel but when I read around the 30th chapter, I couldn't stop anymore. It's that good guys! Read it! So highly recommended! Other than The Reader and Protagonist definitely have to be in true love, Game Loading and Quickly wear the face of the devil, I don't think other novels can make me appreciate it like this one. (Sorry for those who got offended. Don't be mad. Its just my opinion) <<less

Oh my god this is a great no brainer comedy, I don't know who's trying to take this down on the ratings but it deserves at least four stars.

It is a story about a demon king!!!! I don't know why it won't be expected to be a story with violence and doubt-con (even though MC gives explicit consent) ... even if it's a comedy.

... more>>
Spoiler

it is supposed to be r*pe because he says "if you don't move it doesn't count" at one point but even he himself talks about how he said no but meant yes, so it is all within the context and background of the characters, in real life no means no people don't get me wrong!!

the victim blaming from the system tho made me mad af, but still I understand with my basic reading comprehension skills, that is a "funny" way of "outing" MC and making him realize "he is in love"

[collapse]

It barely has yellow but it isn't violent at all. It's not even at the level of shock The s*um Villain's Self-Saving System gives when without a tag warning has truly violent s*x.

if you can't stand R*PE TAGED stories DONT READ THEM!

Anyway the story is pretty close to the description, if you like it, reed it. <<less

I love this story so much!!!

Really!!!

This story is really fun and entertaining... I regret myself for putting off reading this story just because many reviews gave it a low ⭐️ 😭😭

Really!!! Maybe some people really can't accept the r**e in this story. But I really couldn't find that. Maybe King Ji was wrong, he cheated in order to do that. But it's not like that!!! I don't know how to explain it, but our tsundere Demon King and our innocent Bai Yang really need to be *that* way for them... more>> to be in the next stage. It's really not that annoying 😭😭🫸

Love!!! I love their silly way of getting together... it's not a drama-filled story, as the author serves up a lot of fun comedy...

What an entertaining story 🫶

Enjoy, except for the *r*pe that really doesn't look like a r*pe, and the extra that is too short in real life, I didn't find any other flaws in this story...

And a round of applause for the quality of CG as a translator 🫶 <<less

This is soo soo good.

😭 I'm obsessed with this story.

I binge read it completely and I'll say, it's definitely worthy.

... more>> It's my first time reviewing so I'm not sure what to say.

The storyline is pretty smooth, with lots of twist and unexpected turns. 😂 Till the end you'll feel shocked and unprepared for the upcoming events.

This is honestly a very good book to read. I'll surely recommend it. The storyline, the characters, the progress of the story everything is peaceful and amazing.

I don't have enough words to express just how good this is. It's that amazing.

And thankyou for the translation, Translation-Sama!!
