10 New and Young Adult Books to read after watching the Netflix show "Love Between Fairy and Devil"

I have such a hangover from binge-watching the Netflix Chinese TV series "Love Between Fairy and Devil."

The series was released in 2022. Here's the premise of the show: an average fairy accidentally releases the most powerful evil being in the three realms, but in turn she binds them together with a curse, so he has to put up with her for so long, they eventually fall in love! *Squeal*
I can't even begin to start to praise the amazing acting, just a terrific performance from the two main leads: Yu Shuxin and Wang He Di. Not to mention some hilarious body swapping scenes as a consequence of the curse that are both cringey but FANTASTIC! Hahahaha!
I recommend coming into this show with an open mind to help you get through the cheesiness of the first few episodes, because I promise you, it is SO worth it to get to the end.
I admit the fairy character will get super annoying but that's just exactly what makes the devil character's sacrifice so much more delicious!
The show is clean fantasy. The language is Mandarin/Chinese with English subtitles.
It's got all the yummy goodness of swoonworthy fantasy romance with tropes such as:
Touch her and d1e
Enemies-to-lovers
Slow-burn
Love triangle (I don't normally like this trope but it's soo good in this show!)
K1ll for your love/D1e for your love
Lovers as equal partners
The most AMAZING "villain decay" of all time *chef's kiss*
One of my favorite quotes from the show is:
"For her, I will alter fate."
*OMGSWOON*
Let's hear it for all our adorably HOT, misunderstood/wrongly-convicted evil demons! I just can't get enough of them. I am so glad to find these handsome devils in book form too!
Note: I mostly found New Adult reads with this similar theme but read on to find the bonus Young Adult reads below too!

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon: Mead Mishaps 1 by Kimberly Lemming
All I wanted to do was live my life in peace. Maybe get a cat, expand my spice farm. Really anything that doesn't involve going on a quest where an orc might rip my face off. But they say the Goddess has favourites. If so, I'm clearly not one of them.
After saving the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, all he wanted to do was kill an evil witch enslaving his people.
I mean, I get it, don't get me wrong. But he's dragging me along for the ride, and I'm kind of peeved about it. On the bright side, he keeps burning off his shirt.

Taming Demons for Beginners (The Guild Codex: Demonized Book 1) by Annette Marie
When I arrived at my uncle's house, I expected my relatives to be like me—outcast sorcerers who don't practice magic. I was right about the sorcery, but wrong about everything else.
My uncle chose a far deadlier power. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them into service contracts, and sells them to the highest bidder. And I'm supposed to act like I don't know how illegal and dangerous it is.
All I had to do was keep my nose out of it. Pretend I didn't find the summoning circle in the basement. Pretend I didn't notice the shadowy being trapped inside it. Pretend I didn't break the rules.
But I did, and now it's too late.
