After the Moonlight Sword Venerable Was Saved

Three years after the Blood Sacrifice Sect's shocking upheaval.

Rong Zheng, the greatest swordsman under heaven, has lost all his spiritual power and is sold as a plaything to Jiang Yan, young master of Dongyun City.

Jiang Yan is famous for his womanizing ways, cruelty, and uselessness.

Rong Zheng is certain the man will humiliate him, and has already prepared to go down in a blaze of glory.

But who could have guessed?

In the first hour, Jiang Yan uses a family heirloom to treat his injuries.

In the second, Jiang Yan covers his hand in the dark and gently soothes him: "Don't be afraid."

In the third, Jiang Yan brings out a heaven-ranked (love-token) spirit-weaving (pledge) artifact (keepsake) to lend him spiritual power.

His voice suddenly grows very soft, filled with tender care:

"Let me tie up your hair."

An endless stream of spiritual power surges into every limb.

His heart, once still and withered, begins to beat fiercely once more.

Rong Zheng grips his long sword and says nothing.

But the tips of his ears, as white as snow, turn completely red.

Jiang Yan is known throughout the land as a useless young master, too weak to lift a burden or hold his own in a fight. His only virtue is a face so beautiful even dogs would fall for him.

Yet when demonic flames rage across the land and no one knows what to do, he casually slips a spirit pearl from his wrist and tosses it into the sky.

The towering inferno instantly dies down.

Everyone: ???

Weren't you supposed to be a useless young master? Why aren't you following the script!

Monsters run rampant, and the people suffer.

At first, he simply can't stand by and do nothing.

With a Floating Cloud Sword, every strike is a killing blow.

The monsters scatter in terror.

But one crisis follows another, and he finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into it all.

As he continues to fight, he seems to be on the verge of returning to his peak.

[Gentle, devoted young master with the grace of jade × Fallen, aloof, powerful, and tragic Sword Venerable]

* He'll recover his looks and spiritual power. Both are pure, each other's first love, 1v1 happy ending.

* Not a switch pairing, but both call each other "husband."

Little scene

One day, Rong Zheng drinks strong liquor.

Jiang Yan closes his eyes and heaps on the praise: "The Sword Venerable can really hold his liquor!"

The next moment, Rong Zheng topples over with a thud, completely drunk.

Jiang Yan, usually so quick with his words: ...

Spoke too soon!

But the Sword Venerable's ears are slightly red, and he presses his lips together without a word.

That's actually... unexpectedly adorable!

Coming soon in my collection: "Who Comes into My Dreams?" Follow the pursuit of a scheming, deceptively sweet puppy!

Yi Chen is an heir to a family of diviners. Exceptionally gifted, he earned the Immortal Venerable's favor at a young age and was chosen early to be the next successor.

However, a prophecy that has never been wrong foretells that in twenty years, someone will seize the Immortal Capital. He must act early to avoid becoming the ruler of a fallen country... no, a fallen clan.

Yi Chen: So I'm the unlucky guy fate picked, huh?

Reluctantly, he searched all six realms, then turned around and found his future nemesis in a ruined hut.

It was the coldest part of winter. Yun Wuyou was curled up in a tattered, thin quilt, shivering uncontrollably.

His delicate, handsome face was covered in scars. When he saw Yi Chen, he pressed close to him pitifully, his wet, black-pearl eyes looking as if he'd just been crying.

He asked softly, "Big brother, could you take me with you?"

The long sword on Yi Chen's back clattered to the ground. With a sigh, he accepted his fate and took the poor little thing with him.

Born of a god and a demon, Yun Wuyou was bullied from childhood.

He gritted his teeth and trained in magic, keeping a long list of names beneath his pillow for revenge. He would make them pay a hundredfold when the time came.

Later, he slaughtered his way through the Nine Provinces and six realms, leaving countless souls beneath his sword.

Yet there was one face he alone remembered.

Everyone hated and spat on him. Only that person looked at him with clear, composed black eyes and said, "Turn back."

Yi Chen told him, "Yun Wuyou, turn back."

At the end of vengeance was a long, empty void.

Yun Wuyou began sleeping for longer and longer stretches, dreaming the same dream night after night.

In the dream, Yi Chen's wet hair hung loose, and a faint flush ringed his eyes as he gazed at him, tender and moved.

Yun Wuyou had never regretted a thing in his life.

Not when he crossed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, nor when he became a demon rejected by the world.

But that night, thinking of how he had gone his whole life without ever being loved or protected, he suddenly regretted it.

If we had no enmity in our next life, could things turn out differently?

In this life.

In a ruined hut, the person he thought of day and night lifts the curtain and steps inside.

Twenty years later.

Yi Chen runs his fingers over the book of fate, smiling as if patting a dog's head. "You call that 'never being wrong'?"

The book of fate answers boldly: "Yes, that's right!"

Yun Wuyou has put the clan's affairs in perfect order.

How is that not their shared marital property?

Yun Wuyou has just finished reprimanding someone. He turns and buries himself in Yi Chen's arms. "A Chen, my head hurts."

Heaven help us. Please don't let him find out the book of fate tampered with things!
