Synopsis

[My own take on Nezha, with plenty of original headcanon. Feel free to picture whichever Nezha design you like.]

[Nezha is intensely possessive, with yandere-like behavior and forced romance, so he may be out of character. There are many one-sided crushes, and the heroine is weak at first. A little child-rearing, too. A light, sweet romance focused on feelings. Best read without overthinking it.]

After transmigrating, Mu Lingxi became a disciple of Master Taiyi and gained an adorable junior brother, Nezha.

To survive in the Investiture of the Gods world until the very end, earn enough merit, and return home,

she searched for her missing soul while carefully raising young Nezha.

She quietly stayed by his side, accompanying him as he followed the path laid out for him. But she discovered that the laws governing this world were not quite the same as she remembered from Investiture of the Gods.

After Nezha cut away his flesh to repay his mother and carved out his bones to repay his father, only a wisp of his soul remained, and he could not be reincarnated.

Mu Lingxi carved out her own vital essence to build a temple for Nezha.

Every day, she knelt before his temple, becoming his most devoted believer.

Reborn through the lotus, Nezha returned and proved invincible. A young general, he won countless battles and ultimately attained sainthood in the flesh.

Thinking she had earned enough merit, Mu Lingxi happily prepared to go home, only for the young man to trap her in his arms, his Red Armillary Sash winding tightly around her.

His twisted love spread like wildfire, beyond all control, fueled by an almost maddening possessiveness.

The young man lifted her chin, his voice intimate and tender: “Sister, are you going to leave me behind again?”

A chill ran down Mu Lingxi’s back. Wasn’t her junior brother supposed to be sweet and adorable? How had he turned into a yandere?

Looking for Self-Insert Romance About Nezha, the Third Lotus Prince

I want books similar to Nezha: All Three Realms Suffer, and I Only Kill, Never Save. No demonic child version!!!! No crossover entertainment compilations!!!! No two-male-lead stories!!!!
