[Devoted, aloof Immortal Venerable x sharp-tongued, tsundere Demon Lord (allegedly)]
Pei Yi’an was a notorious, utterly wicked Demon Lord with countless lives on his hands. In the end, he died at the hands of Yun Fufeng, a mighty sword cultivator.
After being reborn, he planned to spend the rest of his life lazing around. But who could have guessed that Lu Yun, a newly arrived alchemist, would repeatedly shower him with attention? Magical treasures, pills, top-grade spirit swords: Lu Yun stuffed them into Pei Yi’an’s storage pouch as if they cost nothing.
“Nothing comes for free.” Uneasy, Pei Yi’an asked, “You know perfectly well I’m a member of the demon clan, someone everyone wants dead. What exactly are you after?”
Lu Yun gazed at him tenderly. “Do you truly not know how I feel about you?”
Pei Yi’an had feelings for Lu Yun, but still pretended not to understand. “I don’t know, I have no idea. Please, show some restraint!”
He clearly remembered that in his previous life, there had never been an alchemist named Lu Yun in his sect!

Yun Fufeng had returned to the past more than once.
The first time, he came back to eliminate Pei Yi’an, the Demon Lord whose crimes were unforgivable, before he could become a threat.
But when he found Pei Yi’an, the young demon’s innocence softened his heart. He took Pei Yi’an in as his disciple and taught him with great care.
In the end, Pei Yi’an collapsed in his arms, barely breathing. With difficulty, he raised a hand to wipe away Lu Yun’s tears.
“Master, don’t be sad for me.”
This time, Yun Fufeng had returned to save Pei Yi’an, the man he loved, who had died for all living beings.
The familiar face slowly became one with the beloved he had longed for day and night. The youth warily asked his name.
Yun Fufeng suppressed the tumult in his heart and smiled as he held out a hand to Pei Yi’an.
“Friend, my name is Lu Yun.”
This time, he would save both the people of the world and Pei Yi’an.
[Reader’s Guide]: The love interests are both physically and emotionally devoted to each other. Lu Yun is the gong!
The main story spans three lifetimes. In the first, the gong really did kill the shou with his own hands. They didn’t know each other then, so if you don’t like that, please don’t flame the author. The ending is definitely a happy ending!
Cultivation stages in this story: Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Spirit Transformation → Great Ascension. The system is there to serve the plot.
Below is the author’s next novel, “Am I Not the Greatest Evil Cultivator Under Heaven?” Please add it to your reading list, dear readers!
[A scheming fun-lover who seems like an aloof beauty x an imaginative fake villain]
After losing his memory, Xu Jie woke up one day to find himself bound to a villain System.
The System threatened him: “You must become the greatest evil cultivator under heaven. If your evil deeds don’t meet the requirements, I’ll erase you, and you’ll never be reborn!”
Xu Jie rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. “You know, I’ve dreamed of becoming the greatest evil cultivator under heaven since I was a kid!”
The System’s first mission for him: rob someone.
He plunged into a dense forest teeming with demonic beasts, then swooped in from above and saved twenty helpless cultivators in a single day.
The System was furious. “What kind of evil deed is that supposed to be?”
Xu Jie dragged along a dead tiger demon. “Didn’t I rob them of their prey?”
The System: “...?”
The System’s second mission: kill someone.
He tore down a wanted poster and pursued the vicious criminals named on it across the land. Before long, everyone in the cultivation world was calling him the Iron-Faced Constable.
The System was twice as furious. “You’re obviously doing good!”
Xu Jie said, “Are you stupid, System? Orthodox cultivators have no money. If I take down evil people, I get a reward!”
The System: “Hmm... that does make sense.”
The System had learned its lesson this time and gave him a clear order: while the orthodox sect’s mighty Song Heguang was weakened, take his cultivation and his life!
Xu Jie rescued Song Heguang when he was besieged by evil cultivators, then brought him back to his cave residence and nursed him with great care.
The System sneered. “Let’s see what excuse you come up with this time!”
Xu Jie laughed evilly three times, rubbing his hands together like a fly. “Aloof beauties are so proud. Once I’ve healed him, I’ll keep him hidden away in a golden house, enslave and humiliate him until he’s utterly disgraced!”
The System was thoroughly impressed. “Host, you really are brilliant!”
*
Years later, Xu Jie was still a nobody on the evil cultivator rankings. Instead, he had somehow become a beloved beacon of the orthodox path, much to his dismay.
Song Heguang, who had long since become his “favorite” and “fallen” into depravity, offered a gentle suggestion. “Master, why don’t we go eliminate all the evil cultivators ranked above you? Then you’ll be number one under heaven, won’t you?”
Xu Jie saw the light. He wrapped an arm around Song Heguang’s neck and gave him a loud kiss as a reward. “My beauty, you understand me best!”
Core message: Cherish peace!
