Magic Emperor (Chinese: 大管家魔皇, Pinyin: Dà Guǎnjiā Mó Huáng), also known as The Steward Demonic Emperor, is a titan of the Cultivation, Rebirth, and Political Intrigue manhua genres. Adapted from the web novel by Night Owl, it has become one of the most popular Chinese series globally due to its unapologetically ruthless protagonist and its complex, high-stakes power plays.

The story follows Zhuo Yifan, the strongest Demonic Emperor in the Sacred Land. After being betrayed by his trusted disciple and killed, his soul possesses the body of Zhuo Fan, a lowly family steward of the declining Luo Clan. Bound by a "Heart Daemon" (a spiritual contract) to protect the young mistress and master of the house, the once-unstoppable tyrant must use his ancient knowledge to build the weakest family in the empire into a global superpower—all while plotting his eventual return to the peak of the cultivation world.
