[Handsome, strong, tragic, and unhinged prince gong x beautiful, strong, tragic, aloof banished immortal shou]
Zhong Jиеyuan, the Seventh Prince, is the "bringer of calamity" whom everyone wants dead.
When he was seventeen, disasters struck one after another and war raged across the land. Everyone said his ill-fated destiny had brought calamity upon the world.
The emperor issued an order to sacrifice him to Heaven.
On the day of the ceremony, he escaped.
In a ruined temple, he met a god.
A god even more unfortunate than he was, a "wicked god" despised by all three realms.
He was covered in blood and filthy, as wretched as a dying stray dog.
The god was aloof and otherworldly, fallen so low that even his offerings had ceased.
"Do you want to join forces with me and defy the fate Heaven has forced upon us?"
"All right."
Later, the bringer of calamity ascended the throne, and the wicked god returned to the altar.
How did an unlucky prince and an unlucky immortal join forces and end up turning bad luck into good luck? (doge)
The most unfortunate one in the Immortal Realm. Being so miserable he had to make a living by scavenging was bad enough, and then one day a brat dropped out of the sky and smashed his temple.
What an unhappy life. Oh, no, what an unhappy immortal life.
Brat: My dad doesn't love me, my mom doesn't love me, and I have nowhere to go. Can you take me in?
Unlucky one: ...Fine. I'll take in a brat and raise him for fun.
The brat mooches off him and smashes his temple. Surely one day the unlucky one will end up losing even himself over this kid?!

Some fantasy elements, but primarily court intrigue and political maneuvering (not quite proper political intrigue, doge →_→)
