Dancing in the Legendary Sea

My heart, my lover.
Do not pretend to be unaware of our darkness, deceived by omnipotence.
We are children of chaos, born from the pool of blood and moans.
Cruelty and indifference are inherent traits that cannot be erased, and at times, we exhibit intense obsession.
Chaos has bestowed upon us so much skill and talent, even though we are beings with no desire to contribute to anything real.
Instead, we exist as beings that embrace destruction to overcome decadence.
The order, conscience, and ethics that humans desperately want to protect…
To them, such concepts hold no value or meaning. They do not even understand what it means to be cruel.
“You know, don’t you?”
If you are only pretending to know… Would you also scornfully push me away?


Demeter’s Daughter

After hatching endless plots and suffering innumerable hardships, the demons of the Demonic Realm finally managed to resurrect the Ancient Demon King.

Gradually, however, they discovered that their thoughts were very, very wrong.
Whilst it is true that this Ancient Demon King still retains his aura of superiority and possesses unlimited powers, he…
He seems to be a mental case…
It’s alright even if he changes orders and does things in an incomprehensible way.
But what’s with his habit of muttering under his breath, nagging and conversing with himself the entire day!
Small Orchid: He’s not ill, he’s just despicable (贱jian)…can’t stand to see (见jian) people live a good life.
Dong Fang: I am only unable to endure seeing you live a good life.
Small Orchid: …
*T/N: The Chinese pronunciation for the word “despicable” is the same as the word “see” – thus, the author is trying to show that Small Orchid, while trying to scold Dong Fang, is also careful not to incur his wrath, which is why she tried to imbue another meaning into her sentence after scolding him.
