During the Guangde era, Yuan Xi saw a vision of his future self: a wicked demon whom everyone wanted dead, dismembered by the Crown Prince, the savior of the world. Even the First Prince, who had once pursued him obsessively, discarded him like trash and stood shoulder to shoulder with the younger brother who had once delighted in tormenting him.
In the end, the Crown Prince ascended to immortality, his former classmates achieved great merit, and even the villainous partner who had once joined him in wrongdoing saw the light and turned over a new leaf.
The world celebrated a happy ending for everyone.
Yuan Xi: "?"
The only outcome was that Yuan Xi got hurt.
When Yuan Xi woke up, he decided to strike first.
Three days later, he ran into Crown Prince Hua Zhao in the snow. The other man seemed to have glimpsed the secrets of heaven too, and looked ready to nip Yuan Xi's evil plans in the bud.
In any case, he was looking at Yuan Xi rather strangely.
Yuan Xi lazily lifted his eyes, ready to seize an opportunity to strike, but kept his expression perfectly calm. "Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?"
Hua Zhao parted his lips and answered with complete seriousness, "I've loved you since the moment you were born."
Yuan Xi: "?"
Afterward, Yuan Xi set fires at night, buried knives in the snow, and poisoned him in the rain. Hua Zhao not only remained completely unharmed, but kept having one stroke of good luck after another.
The Crown Prince grew more and more touched. "I'm so happy to know you love me this much too."
Yuan Xi: "."
Yuan Xi: "You're. Provoking. Me. Again."

High schooler Hua Zhao woke up and opened the latest story in the mobile game Nether River Invasion, only to find that his favorite character, Yuan Xi, had inexplicably become the world-destroying villain in Heaven's plan.
Before he could call the consumer protection association, he found himself inside the game, in the exalted role of Crown Prince.
Yuan Xi talks back to his royal elder brother. Hua Zhao: My wife could make even an insult sound like poetry.
Yuan Xi slaps a classmate in public. Hua Zhao: My wife looks gorgeous even when she's beating someone up.
Yuan Xi...
Rumors spread through the imperial capital.
Some said that the lowborn bastard from the Yuan family of Huizhou had bewitched the Crown Prince somehow.
Some said that the Crown Prince was wise and mighty, so this must have some profound purpose. As the saying goes, if you hate someone, heap praise on them until they fall!
Others said that Rakshasas were born lustful and greedy, and ate people. The Crown Prince was indulging in beauty, alas, the kingdom was surely doomed!
Hua Zhao: "?"
Hua Zhao: "Are you kidding me? This is the wife I've loved since elementary school, okay?"

Flames filled the snowy night. Hua Zhao, covered in blood, closed his eyes for a moment and smiled. "...I'm about to die, and you still haven't kissed me."
Amid the roaring flames and the chaotic hum of whispering voices, Hua Zhao saw Yuan Xi beneath the moonlight, his red lips and sword making him look like a beautiful-faced demon.
Yuan Xi walked closer, cupped his face, and said slowly, word by word, "Who said you could leave me?"
Memories surged. Hua Zhao, the dreamer who had finally gotten his favorite character back, vaguely remembered his childhood friend who had died young... Hadn't he said something just like that too?

Hua Zhao x Yuan Xi
An overwhelmingly possessive, naturally dark, heterochromatic, smiling Samoyed-like top x a beautiful, sickly, delicate little fox bottom, with a bodhisattva's face, a scorpion's heart, pink hair, and a cold expression
Reader's guide 🐼🍧
1. My take on a Nuo exorcist academy, a nontraditional infinite-flow story, with a touch of Lovecraftian flavor and plenty of original worldbuilding.
2. The top is very much a "you are what you eat" type who is exclusively into men. He's the bottom's one and only eyesore and husband. The bottom is a Rakshasa hybrid labeled stupid, beautiful, and a man-eating succubus, among other things. He's falsely seen as universally disliked but is actually universally adored. Side characters may sometimes insult him. He's bad-tempered: when he's happy, the top wants to swallow him in two bites; when he's angry, the top wants to swallow him in one.
4. I wrote exactly what I wanted to read. O~O
Theme: The world was a cruel torture, and he watched it all from the other shore.
I'm so happy. As soon as I opened Jinjiang today, I found a new article 🐶
I love you, boss, I finally wrote it [hug my thighs]
Congratulations on the opening of the article 🎆 I thought there would be no opening of the article today
