A cool and aloof yet carefree bottom who seems cold-hearted but truly cares for the world, and has already suffered backlash for forcibly interfering in other people's karma.
A serious top who is still growing, tries to meddle in other people's karma, and irritates the bottom, only to become his loyal dog.
Blurb:
Two hundred years ago, Shen Qingyuan was an immortal, a Bodhisattva revered and worshipped by countless people.
Two hundred years later, after saving a child who had fallen into the water, he was punished by the Heavenly Dao and reduced to a mortal. He became a sickly man who could neither lift nor carry anything.
He would cough, wheeze, and spit blood at the slightest provocation, as though he might die at any moment. Yet somehow, he couldn't die.
Everyone in Yunfu City knew that Shen Qingyuan, the beautiful, cultivation-practicing teacher, was unmatched for a hundred miles around.
But he was a strange man. He taught without applying himself, sipping tea while the children fought and waving his fan while they climbed trees.
In short, he never got involved.
Who knew that the elders of one of his students' families would come looking for trouble?
Jiang Xuanyue was an honest-to-goodness good person. Everyone in the surrounding villages knew it.
Carrying the memories of two lifetimes, he had resolved to follow the path of doing good and upholding justice throughout the world.
Then he happened to meet Shen Qingyuan, who couldn't be bothered with anything.
At midnight, Jiang Xuanyue hauled his younger cousin in by the back of her collar and knocked on Shen Qingyuan's door.
His sweet dreams disturbed, Shen Qingyuan looked displeased, his face pale as paper. He glanced listlessly at the man and girl before him and said nothing.
Jiang Xuanyue's face was stern. "Are you her teacher?"
Shen Qingyuan raised an eyebrow and started to shut the door. "I don't know her."
The little girl suddenly cried out in a plea for mercy. "Teacher, help me! I only went next door to steal some sweet potatoes! Teacher, you said, "
With a bang, Shen Qingyuan shut the door.
After that, Jiang Xuanyue stuck to him, until the two of them were drawn into a case involving stolen corpses in Yunfu City.
Later, Shen Qingyuan tipped up Jiang Xuanyue's chin. His slender, beautiful toes pressed against Jiang Xuanyue's leg as he chuckled. "Who taught you that?"
Jiang Xuanyue was utterly defenseless against Shen Qingyuan like this, gazing at him as if enchanted. "Master..."
Content warnings:
1. Has a bit of a dog-training romance vibe.
2. A cool, beautiful older master as the bottom, and a serious, loyal top who willingly submits.
3. There will be a plot. During plot-heavy sections, both characters will act fairly normally and work together.
4. Plenty of original worldbuilding: The bottom can guide people into reincarnation. Whether he is an immortal or a mortal, he can disperse people's karma and guide them in cultivation. The top was taught by him.
5. Sickly bottom; there will probably be pregnancy and childbirth.
6. The top is secretly obsessive, and the bottom is beloved by everyone. The top will get very jealous. The romance is straightforward for both of them.
6. All my upcoming and current works will have exclusive pairings and happy endings. I'm old-fashioned.
Theme: Break through constraints, escape the shackles, do all you can, and leave the rest to fate
