The plot, as described in the official website of the series (translated), reads:

Although she was born a demon, Dou's kindness knows no bounds. Her kindness is so great that she can soothe evil demons, violent monsters, human slaves, and even her kind’s sworn enemies: Angels.

With his daughter in this state, the Demon King was worried and no longer had time to invade.

Seeing the Demon King's suffering, Jahi, his aide, decides to make Dou into a fine demon and gives her various trials. However, Jahi does not yet know that these trials will only increase Dou's kindness...

And Dou's kindness caused a small ripple in this not-so-kind world…
