“A vicious, universally hated beauty shou × a sweet-faced, dark-hearted, obsessive gong”
Rong Yun was jealous by nature, with a face of exceptional beauty: a born beauty with a cruel streak.
His talent was mediocre, so he used underhanded tricks to cheat his way into becoming a disciple of the most revered immortal in the Guiyuan Sect.
Wearing a Guanyin's face, he tried to pretend he was truly compassionate. Sadly, a villain can't change his nature. Once exposed, he became everyone's target.
Before long, the filthy tricks he'd used to enter the sect were exposed as well, ruining his reputation overnight.
As if things weren't bad enough, disaster struck: he lost the beautiful face he'd always been proud of.
Just as he thought he was destined to rot in the mud, someone collapsed in front of his door.
Ruan Mingxi, a heaven-blessed genius admired by all, was now gravely injured and unconscious, in a pitiful state.
On a whim, Rong Yun dragged him inside.
When Ruan Mingxi woke, he remembered nothing.
“I saved you.” Rong Yun pointed to the ghastly scar on his left cheek. “My face was ruined because I saved you.”
Ruan Mingxi believed him and felt terribly guilty.
From then on, the heaven-blessed genius became Rong Yun's personal servant: doing the laundry, cooking, earning money to support them, and risking his life to track down high-grade magical artifacts and pills.
He let Rong Yun order him around, docile as a dog.
Rong Yun was immensely pleased with himself as he trampled the man who had once stood above the clouds underfoot.
After passing his days in idleness, Rong Yun decided to go out. But Ruan Mingxi blocked his way in the entrance hall. His face was still gentle, but beneath his eyes churned thoughts Rong Yun couldn't understand.
Ruan Mingxi gripped the back of Rong Yun's neck, his expression so tender it was almost eerie.
“Yun Yun, have I indulged you so much that you think you can do whatever you want?”
“Those tricks are bad,” Ruan Mingxi said softly. “You can only use them on me, understand?”
Reading Guide:
1. Our darling shou will definitely get his pretty face back!

“A seemingly frail, pitiful beauty who's actually a cold and heartless divine official shou × a tsundere, obsessive gong who says one thing and means another”
Qu Deng was a pitiful orphan whom nobody liked.
A childhood fever damaged his eyes. His parents were killed by wolves while gathering firewood in the mountains, leaving him all alone, a little blind boy.
The Immortal Venerable Yiqing took pity on him and took him in as a disciple, bringing him to the Qingyun Sect to raise and teach him.
Several disciples thought this was unfair and joined forces to bully and ostracize Qu Deng. They locked him in an ice cellar in the freezing cold and pushed him into an ice pit. If Shao Yuci hadn't found him in time, the little blind boy would have frozen to death.
Shao Yuci followed a righteous path of cultivation. His master said he was destined for greatness, and he refused to join others in bullying the weak.
He happened to save Qu Deng once, but that was enough to make the little blind boy cling to him for good.
Qu Deng's eyesight was poor, but his hearing was astonishingly sharp. He could find Shao Yuci wherever he went.
Shao Yuci disliked this useless good-for-nothing who'd entered through the back door and still couldn't form a golden core after ten years.
He could tell that Qu Deng was attached to him.
After breaking Qu Deng's heart countless times, Shao Yuci watched the boy's lips quiver with hurt and suddenly thought: Since he likes me so much, perhaps I should be generous and give him a little of my affection.
Shao Yuci made up his mind to treat Qu Deng better than before. Even after ascending, he wouldn't forget the little blind boy.
But the person who'd been nestled in his arms yesterday, softly congratulating him, turned around and stabbed him with a sword at his ascension ceremony.
Shao Yuci was gravely wounded. He failed to survive the heavenly tribulation, his ascension failed, and he was left barely alive.
A heaven-blessed genius had fallen.
Everyone sighed.
It turned out Qu Deng was a divine official sent down to complete a mission. Shao Yuci had taken someone else's opportunity, and Qu Deng's job was to take it back.
After painstakingly completing his mission, Qu Deng returned to the celestial realm and rose to an even higher position than before.
But after all their twists and turns, Shao Yuci still ascended. He grabbed Qu Deng by the throat and dragged them both down from the heavens.
The wind howled. Shao Yuci's voice was icy: “Qu Deng, how many lifetimes will it take you to repay what you owe me?”
