How to Misraise a Fairy Descendant

[Possessive, Pretends to Be Obedient Immortal Descendant Gong x Fierce, Cold-Hearted God of War Shou]

[The "Not-So-Serious" Blurb]

The child the God of War raised with his own hands turned out all wrong.

There are three great rules of thumb for raising a younger love interest:

Treat him too well, and you'll raise him wrong;

Treat him badly, and you'll raise him wrong;

Treat him neither well nor badly, and you'll still raise him wrong.

But he broke free of the rules and made the worst decision of all!

Since the child had turned out wrong, he decided to abandon him!

After abandoning him, Dongfang Jueming returned to the Heavenly Court and was forced into retirement. With nothing to do, he recalled the more than ten years he'd spent raising a child in the mortal realm, and still couldn't figure it out: How could such a good child have turned out wrong?!

The Gong family of Fangzhang Mountain had guarded the Dragon Transformation Pool for generations. But after two clans fought over a chance at fortune, the Gong family was wiped out.

As an old friend lay dying, he entrusted his surviving young heir to Dongfang Jueming. Dongfang took the child back to Peach Blossom Spring and cared for him devotedly as his adopted son.

Dongfang Jueming fought demons to protect the young heir as he grew up, and fled across the Nine Provinces with the boy. He thought they had endured poverty and hardship, but that he had never let the boy go without.

In fact, he always treated him like a precious treasure, afraid he might get so much as a scratch.

He never expected to trigger one of those raising-a-younger-love-interest rules. The boy had actually developed feelings for him!

Dongfang Jueming still remembered the day he reclaimed his divine status. He turned and left at once, abandoning the boy in the mortal realm.

Only then did Gong Li learn that his adoptive father was the God of War of the Heavenly Court, the Lord of the Seven Killings.

At the time, Gong Li had desperately wanted to chase him into the heavens. Watching that dark-robed figure disappear into the light, he spat out a vicious threat.

"Dongfang Jueming, you'll regret this!"

A hundred years later, Dongfang Jueming truly did regret it.

Fierce beasts were wreaking havoc, and rumors were everywhere. Everyone said the disaster had been set in motion by Gong Li, the new lord of Fangzhang Mountain.

Could a child raised wrong still be set straight?

The undefeated Lord of the Seven Killings was ordered down to the mortal realm. He decided to flatten Fangzhang Mountain and, while he was at it, "teach" that disobedient child a lesson.

But the moment Dongfang Jueming stepped through the mountain gate, he froze.

The mountain was decked in red silk, and demons were preparing a wedding procession.

The man he'd abandoned all those years ago now stood at the head of a crowd of demons, dressed in red, his eyes and brows full of possessive obsession.

This hardly looked like the start of a war. It was clearly a marriage proposal.

Gong Li slowly closed in and pressed a reverent yet brazen kiss to his solemn divine face.

"Dongfang Jueming, if you marry me, I'll be good and do as you say."

Luckily, there was still a way to set him straight...

Wait! Why was Dongfang the one getting married?!
