After being overthrown in a classic case of “the student surpasses the master,” Lin Wei—the former Demon King—wants nothing more than to abandon his old identity and live a peaceful life among humans.... more>>

His dream? Settle down, buy a small fief, marry a beautiful woman from the church’s lower clergy, and enjoy a quiet life as a country noble with his lovely wife.

But reality refuses to let him rest. Adventurer parties keep passing suspiciously close to his doorstep. The proud Judgement Knight is always waving her spear around, pestering him to join the church. Then there’s the haughty imperial princess edging ever closer, the new Demon King on a manhunt for him, and the Elf Queen proposing marriage alliances.

All Lin Wei wants is peace and obscurity. Yet one day, when he sneaks into the Holy City, he catches sight of a regal, cold-faced woman presiding over the masses—a presence so commanding, even he, who has never known fear, breaks into a nervous sweat.

Turns out, the wife he’s been sharing a bed with every night… is actually the Pope?!

What should he do now? Advice urgently needed! <<less
