Caged in Water

Ye Luoli: Shi Qingli x Shui Qingli The World King, leader of the Ten Ranks, is a top-tier creep with an overwhelming possessiveness. Anything he sets his sights on has only two possible fates: it either comes to him willingly or is forced to belong to him. That goes for people, too. He vowed to destroy the world, until he met Shui Qingli. From then on, destroying the world was put on indefinite hold. The World King's life goal was urgently revised to: win over the cool and haughty Shui Qingli. If you think this is just a story about an overbearing World King forcing someone to love him, you're far too naive, because Shui Qingli is terrifyingly proactive from the very beginning. He knows the World King is dangerous, yet chooses to stay by his side, even though their fragile relationship is like dancing together on the edge of a cliff. One wrong step could turn it into a torturous forced romance. Later, Shui Qingli ran away by accident while saving his sister, and didn't return for a thousand years. The World King gave him a thorough punishment, then ended up crying even harder than Shui Qingli, accusing him of being so heartless. Shui Qingli sighed and willingly used his immortal power to conjure a chain, locking himself by the World King's side. “You... do you know what you're doing?” the World King said, while already gripping the chain tightly in his hand. His eyes were still red, but he could barely hide his smile. Shui Qingli knew this meant the way the World King mistreated him would depend entirely on his mood, and that there would be no escape. But the World King did not betray his trust: he willingly entered the cage, yet found true freedom. Side pairing: Wu Chen. The fourth and sixth ranks have no original character additions and will not be mentioned. There is little content set in the Immortal Realm, and the plot is original. No character bashing.
