Plot

The Demon King Ahriman, once the undisputed ruler of the demon realm and conqueror of countless worlds, suddenly halts his campaigns—troubled by an unexpected problem: his daughter, Doux, is just too kindhearted. Determined to turn her into a ruthless and fearsome demon worthy of the throne, his loyal aide Jahi steps up with a plan. Thus begins a heartwarming and comedic fantasy, where the adorable demon girl Doux faces one trial after another—only to solve each one with the power of kindness and healing.
