Shen Huaixue was a gloomy, lazy couch potato, famous for his laziness for a thousand years.
One day, he transmigrated into a book and became the inner demon of the story's villain.
The inner demon and the villain were locked in a bitter struggle to the death. The demon seized control of his body and committed terrible deeds, causing the villain to be misunderstood, abandoned by everyone, and subjected to endless humiliation. In the end, he turned evil and destroyed all living things.
Shen Huaixue had to redeem the villain.
But by the time he arrived, the villain had already sworn to kill him.
Shen Huaixue: "..."
Maybe I'll just sleep and bask in the sun...
.
Xie Jiya was born into the greatest sect and was one of the top talents in the cultivation world.
When he was sixteen, along with his extraordinary cultivation, he acquired an inner demon. From then on, it controlled his body. His reputation plummeted, he was hunted, and he saw the world's cruelty firsthand.
In the year he was at his most wretched, his inner demon's temperament changed dramatically. The demon, once vicious to the extreme, suddenly became infuriatingly lazy.
Getting dressed, putting on shoes, eating, bathing... Xie Jiya had to do everything for him. If he refused, the demon threatened to use his body to leap into the latrine.
Humiliated by all this, Xie Jiya swore that one day he would kill him.
.
But the two of them traveled a long road together.
At first, when Xie Jiya saw Shen Huaixue sleeping all the time and showing no attachment to the world, he could hardly wait for him to accept his fate and die.
But later, as Shen Huaixue grew weaker by the day and coughed up blood, Xie Jiya braved countless dangers to create a physical body for him, hoping he would remain in this world.
But Shen Huaixue still died, closing his eyes in Xie Jiya's arms.
.
Shen Huaixue redeemed the villain and was rewarded with a physical body in this world.
He was very unhappy.
So he found a spot with good feng shui and planned to bury himself there and sleep.
Unexpectedly, he dug up his own grave.
...And even disturbed Xie Jiya.
He looked at the Immortal Venerable before him, eyes bloodshot and body trembling. Though he had clearly gotten his life back on track, he could not suppress the agony of his soul.
"Shen..."
Shen Huaixue jumped in fright.
He was held tightly in Xie Jiya's arms. The veins stood out on Xie Jiya's arm, yet his lips touched the top of Shen Huaixue's head tenderly.
His murmurs were filled with boundless pleading.
"Don't leave me..."
※ Gloomy, lazy, beautiful bottom x sinister villain top
Reader's guide:
1. The bottom isn't a lazy fish spirit, but a wisp of a lonely soul. He's extremely gloomy and has no worldly desires (⊂(´・◡・⊂ )∘˚˳°), so he's very lazy.
The top's daily routine: fleeing for his life → caring for the bottom → fleeing for his life → dressing up the bottom → fleeing for his life → staring at the bottom with hearts in his eyes
2. Handsome top, beautiful bottom. Don't read if that's not your thing.
