Synopsis

[Pseudo-raising trope + loyal dog + two equally powerful leads + a thousand years of mutual devotion + both leads are sexually inexperienced + happy ending]

The loyal, ruthless Demon King as the pursuer × the world-minded Emperor as the pursued

More than five thousand years ago, on Mount Penglai, Lu Pingqi was the last deity from the primordial age, and Yi Zhongyan was the fine adopted son Nuwa had foisted on him. After spending every day together, the boy grew bold enough to climb into the Emperor’s bed.

They spent hundreds of years blissfully in love. Then Mount Buzhou collapsed, the Heavenly Dao fell apart, and the Four Treasures of Order vanished without a trace. Lu Pingqi offered himself as a substitute to repair the heavens, and held on until Nuwa finished refining the stones, leaving him gravely wounded and near death. Yi Zhongyan went alone from the foot of Mount Kunlun, kneeling his way up every step to the Queen Mother of the West’s immortal palace, begging for a single life-saving pill.

The Queen Mother refused. Enraged, the Demon King broke into the alchemy chamber and took the pill, but the Queen Mother imprisoned him in Kunlun, where he endured the Heavenly Dao for five thousand years. Meanwhile, the gods either perished or fell into slumber. Still recovering from his grave illness, Lu Pingqi was forced to shoulder the task of governing the Three Realms.

Today, five thousand years later, the beat of a drum brings two lovers separated for a millennium back together amid peach blossoms blooming in the dead of winter.

But how did Yi Zhongyan break through the Queen Mother’s seal back then?

Why did the Four Treasures of Order line up and appear before the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Unified Governance of the Three Realms all by themselves?

Who is pulling the strings?

Tips:

1. Both male leads have remained chaste for five thousand years.

2. A supporting character betrays someone.

3. The pursued lead occasionally disciplines the pursuer.

Fantasy with Great Writing

I want something normal, not a story where all the protagonists and supporting characters are idiots and everything goes smoothly as they cultivate, level up, and become geniuses. The protagonist must not be an idiot or act like a moron. The writing needs to be good. I have been reading for years.
