After Being Forced to Ask My Archrival for Help

Chu Yuezhi was a sword-cultivation prodigy, a once-in-a-century talent in the cultivation world. He cultivated the Heartless Dao, wielded the Falsehood Sword, and upheld the righteous path all his life.

Now his spiritual meridians were shattered, his white robes stained with blood, and he knelt before the most debauched brothel in Ghost City, Huaihua House, begging to see the evil cultivator he had once disdained most: Wei Tingyu.

Wei Tingyu used the tip of his shoe to lift Chu Yuezhi’s chin, laughing with delight. “You’ve barely crawled a hundred steps. Can’t take it anymore?”

The once-proud darling of the immortal sects had become a prisoner trapped in his enemy’s courtyard.

Wei Tingyu gave him pills only to hear him bark like a dog and watch him crush his own pride with his own hands.

“Bark nicely and I’ll reward you with a big bone.”

Chu Yuezhi lowered his eyes, swallowed the blood in his throat, and rasped, “Woof.”

Wei Tingyu laughed loudly, but the moment he turned away, his expression went cold.

This world had always been like this. To survive, everyone abandoned their dignity.

When Chu Yuezhi drove his sword into the ground, pinning Wei Tingyu beside the neck, Wei Tingyu tilted his head slightly and laughed arrogantly.

Dying at the hands of a dog was humiliating, but still better than...

A warm, broad hand suddenly closed his eyes.

In the utter darkness, all that remained was the other man’s solid weight, a heartbeat like thunder, and a kiss that tasted of blood.

The lightning tribulation crashed down.

The ice and snow that had never melted in Chu Yuezhi’s eyes shattered piece by piece, like a broken sword.

“You were the one who seduced me first, Wei Tingyu.”

Wei Tingyu: “?”

Loyal-dog gong who cultivates the Heartless Dao × high-IQ madman shou

Content warnings:

1. The shou is not a good person, and won’t be redeemed. Readers with strong moral sensibilities should leave now.

2. The gong is sexually inexperienced. The shou is straight, and given his personality, he probably wouldn’t stay with anyone for a hundred years, but there won’t be ex-girlfriend storylines. Don’t read if that bothers you.

2. Dual POV. The main story will be angsty, but it has a happy ending.

3. The characters’ views do not represent the author’s.
