My Nemesis Is a Sadistic-Novel Master

As the Demon Lord Mu Yi underwent his tribulation, a book appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Only then did he discover that Yu Hefeng, his sworn enemy of several hundred years, was actually the aloof immortal cultivator receiving all the attention in this explicit harem novel!

The book said that Yu Hefeng would abandon his path of ruthless cultivation for his disciple, develop inner demons and fall into the demonic path for him, then be betrayed, have his immortal bones stripped away, and be reduced to a cultivation vessel. He would be tormented by all sorts of trash he'd once looked down on, then spend a hundred chapters playing a game of pursuit and escape with his disciple before getting a happy ending.

Mu Yi: What the hell??? Weren't you supposed to be an exemplary graduate of the ruthless path? If my sworn enemy is such a useless love-struck fool, doesn't that make me an idiot too, since we've been equals and fought for hundreds of years without a winner?!

The more Mu Yi thought about it, the angrier he got. He could forget about ascending to the divine realm!

He had to kill Yu Hefeng before his brain went bad, before his reputation got dragged down too!

A moment's bad judgment, and he failed his tribulation.

The backlash from the heavenly lightning turned Mu Yi into his original cub form, and Yu Hefeng found him.

Mu Yi wondered if Yu Hefeng had seen through his disguise and planned to take him somewhere private to torture him. Instead, the perpetually stone-faced man picked him up and nuzzled him like crazy, then forced him to sign a cultivation-partner contract.

Mu Yi: Aaargh, my innocence is gone! This guy really is messed up in the head!

As the foremost cultivator of the immortal sects, Yu Hefeng had calculated that he would face a romantic tribulation before ascending.

An exemplary graduate of the ruthless path, Yu Hefeng had been single for nearly a thousand years. He'd rather give up on ascending than get involved with anyone.

So whenever he could, he picked fights with his old enemy, the Demon Lord Mu Yi, to vent his excessive spiritual energy and keep his cultivation from advancing.

But, as luck would have it, Mu Yi was about to undergo his tribulation and ascend!

To avoid being put on the back foot, Yu Hefeng had to face his romantic tribulation head-on and find a manageable cultivation partner before fate caught up with him.

Just as he was growing frustrated, he heard that Mu Yi had failed his tribulation. Thrilled, Yu Hefeng hurried over to finish him off. But he couldn't find Mu Yi. Instead, he found a grubby little black cat on an abandoned mountain.

It was feisty, but adorable!

It kept trying to poke Yu Hefeng in the eyes with its claws, but it was adorable!

Its paws were too short to reach, which made it even more adorable!

Yu Hefeng was smitten. Besides, cats were weak creatures, couldn't talk, and had short lifespans. They were the perfect choice for a convenient cultivation partner!

Without a moment's hesitation, Yu Hefeng half-forced the little cat to sign a cultivation-partner contract.

Who would have thought that the first thing the adorable cat said after the contract was sealed would be: Yu Hefeng! You pervert, forcing a cat to become your cultivation partner! What's wrong with you?

Yu Hefeng: ...?

Why did he hear Mu Yi's voice? Even his dreams shouldn't be this ominous.

When he opened his eyes, he saw an adorable cat he wanted to kiss. When he closed them, he heard his sworn enemy's voice and wanted to strangle him.

He'd heard that some cultivators of the ruthless path who went astray liked to kill their husbands to prove their Dao. Now that didn't seem so bad.

And so the two settled into a wonderful life of fighting each other every day, then trading barbs whenever they got tired.

Yu Hefeng: Hah, you failed your tribulation. How embarrassing to be your equal.

Mu Yi: Hah, you're willing to live and die for a man. Which of us is more embarrassing?

Yu Hefeng: Did the lightning fry your brain? I can cut it out for you.

Mu Yi: Who's the one with a screw loose, forcing a cat to become his cultivation partner?!

Note: 1. A proud, brash demon lord who is secretly a soft-hearted puppy, as the gong x a cold, restrained immortal cultivator who is secretly short-tempered and sharp-tongued, as the shou.

2. Two powerful leads, an adversarial couple who treat stabbing each other with verbal barbs as public displays of affection.

3. Mutual devotion: whether they're fighting or falling in love, they both pursue each other. Extreme one-character fans, beware!!!

Theme: Whether as enemies or friends, we can always stand side by side
