It's more of a make you wish your life wasn't boring and single fluff piece. Let's be real, that's the only reason we use wattpad. It's super fast paced and it's fantasy. Some characters are NOT human so don't be complaining 'bout how they're real touchy n' stuff.Complete

When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she decides this will be the day she finally turns her life around. That is, until she meets... AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, for a demon, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade. But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human. Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.Complete
