[Male-male romance + reincarnation and redemption + powerful, beautiful Demon Venerable VS devoted, sweet-natured puppet + defying fate]
Yan Chen, the Demon Venerable whose name terrifies all three realms, was actually a corporate drone in his previous life who had never even killed a chicken. After transmigrating into the master of Evernight Palace, he faces a fatal bug: this body must eat people regularly to survive, but he has a severe physical aversion to it!
Then there’s Chen Sheng, the foolish attendant who only knows how to wipe pillars. Time and again, he cuts open his wrist and holds it to Yan Chen’s lips. “My lord, eat me. It won’t hurt.”
Yan Chen swallows. It doesn’t disgust him. Instead, his soul shudders.
Only later does he learn this isn’t eating at all: it’s reclaiming what’s his! Chen Sheng is the puppet he fashioned with his own hands in his first life. He has searched for Yan Chen through 137 lifetimes, turning himself into a tool that knows only how to sacrifice itself.
The Mother Goddess tears the sky apart. Gu Changming, the righteous savior, sacrifices himself for the Way, and the world is on the verge of being erased.
The foolish attendant holds out a chipped, coarse pottery bowl and burns his spirit core to shield Yan Chen. “Brother, let me take your place this time.”
Watching Chen Sheng dissolve into a sky full of Qichi butterflies, Yan Chen finally goes mad.
He ascends to the pinnacle of the universe and, beneath the iron laws written by the Mother Goddess, adds one line with all his might:
“Entropy can’t be reversed? I’ll reverse it for you anyway!”
It's okay, it's pretty.
