The Days My Archenemy Couldn't Keep His Eyes Off Me

Coming next, an upcoming novel: After Picking Up a Handsome Ghost Emperor, His Daoist Heart Shattered

[Mutual redemption | Fated | Size difference | Both pure | Happy ending]

Sweet, old-fashioned Taoist x Gloomy, violent Underworld Emperor

Little white flower x Thousand-year-old evil ghost

Song Yunjie is an inconspicuous little weakling in his sect. Born with poor spiritual roots, he's also a coward.

On his first day sent down the mountain by his fellow disciples to hunt ghosts, he found someone. Before he could get a good look at the person's face, he was scared unconscious by wandering ghosts.

When he woke up again, a handsome young man was beside him. He said his name was A Heng.

A Heng was handsome, but he had lost seven of his souls. He had a strange personality, and he was always looking at Song Yunjie with a deep, shadowy gaze...

Still, Song Yunjie couldn't leave a life debt unpaid.

To repay A Heng, Song Yunjie agreed to accompany him as he searched for his seven lost souls.

Song Yunjie was a coward by nature and especially afraid of ghosts, yet he also had a constitution that attracted them. At night, evil spirits took turns tormenting him. Terrified out of his wits, he would throw himself into A Heng's arms without a second thought. A Heng would keep a cold face as he drove the ghosts away, then coax Song Yunjie to sleep.

No one had ever treated him so intimately. Song Yunjie thought A Heng was a wonderful person!

The only downside was that A Heng was a little clingy. He wanted to be with Song Yunjie every moment, either putting an arm around him or smelling him, and he kept saying strange things... It was almost like he wanted to eat him!

But as they spent day and night together, their relationship began to stray further and further off course. Song Yunjie felt that he had developed feelings he shouldn't have, in violation of his sect's Daoist principles. So he made an excuse about returning to the sect to cultivate, hoping to leave. But A Heng, who had always been cold toward him, suddenly changed his expression.

A Heng: Dual cultivate with me, and I'll help you improve your cultivation.

What Song Yunjie heard: %@#*β... improve my cultivation.

What a deal!

Song Yunjie stayed, but he had no idea what dual cultivation meant. That was, until A Heng started taking off his Taoist robes...

Song Yunjie: N-no... I don't want to dual cultivate anymore!

A crack appeared in A Heng's handsome, cold face. "Daoist, you must keep your word."

After years of being bound by rules, Song Yunjie gave in. But after they dual cultivated, he was amazed to find that his cultivation really had improved! So he willingly became A Heng's cultivation partner, dual cultivating every day.

But as A Heng's spirit souls returned one by one, Song Yunjie noticed that the baleful aura around him was growing ever heavier. He thought this was a side effect of dual cultivation, and felt increasingly guilty, so he treated A Heng with all the tenderness he could muster.

It wasn't until the sect attacked them and A Heng's identity as the Underworld Emperor was exposed that Song Yunjie learned he was Fu Xuanheng, an Underworld Emperor sealed away for a thousand years!

And Song Yunjie was nothing but a supplement he'd been keeping by his side. He really did want to eat him!

Song Yunjie had given his heart to the wrong person. He turned to run, but Fu Xuanheng gripped him firmly by the waist.

Fu Xuanheng: Where are you going? Don't want to dual cultivate anymore?

Song Yunjie: I don't understand. "D-don't eat me."

Fu Xuanheng: What is that little mouth going on about? I want to suck on it.

Song Yunjie did run away later. Word spread that the thousand-year-old Underworld Emperor had gone mad and slaughtered the Three Realms.

Later, Fu Xuanheng recovered his spirit souls and his spiritual power surged. He became the ruler of the Three Realms. To curry favor with him, the great sects and noble families sent him countless handsome men and beautiful women, but he threw them all out of the Underworld.

In Fu Xuanheng's heart, there was always a taboo named Song Yunjie, someone he couldn't mention or touch.

When they met again, Fu Xuanheng's eyes were bloodshot from killing. Amid a sea of blood, he caught sight of the figure he'd dreamed of night after night.

Song Yunjie: Do you still want to dual cultivate? The kind where you eat me up and leave nothing behind.

Fu Xuanheng was nearly crazed. He growled, "Song! Yun! Jie!"

Song Yunjie's brows knitted slightly. "A Heng, I'm scared."

Fu Xuanheng instantly reined in all his sharp edges, gritted his teeth, pulled him into his arms, and soothed him hoarsely. "If you run again, you'll regret it!"

Blurb for this completed novel:

[Pampered, Arrogant Young Master from a Noble Family x Cold-Faced, Devoted Heir to a Marquis]

[Clingy, Oblivious Bottom Who Doesn't Know He's in Love x Cold-Faced Top Who Loves Him to the Bone]

A Taoist predicted at birth that Chu Lanqing had a weak fate and was likely to die young, so his family pampered him from childhood.

He grew up in luxury, and by the time he was seventeen, the greatest hardship he'd endured was lotus seed porridge. Apart from that, his smooth-sailing life had one exception: his sworn enemy, Gu Huaizhou.

After more than ten years of open and covert rivalry, his relentless efforts finally landed the two of them in the same bed. To his shame, he discovered he was the one who'd been taken!

It was supposed to be a one-time accident, but his sworn enemy kept insisting on giving him a proper status.

Fine. You make your bed, you lie in it, and besides, it was his fault anyway. So Chu Lanqing steeled himself, gritted his teeth, held his aching lower back, and agreed to be with Gu Huaizhou.

He thought he was doing it out of a sense of responsibility. But when he misunderstood and thought Gu Huaizhou had someone else in his heart, he spat blood on the spot. Only then did he realize that after more than ten years together, he had already come to rely on Gu Huaizhou, and his heart had long since fallen.

After they got together, Chu Lanqing was pampered into a spoiled little darling. To marry him openly and honorably, Gu Huaizhou volunteered to go to war, hoping to earn a marriage edict from the emperor through military merit.

He didn't care about power or status. He was even willing to give up his position as heir to the marquis's estate. All he wanted was for his Lanqing to live a joyful life. And to protect Lanqing, he was also willing to hold tight to all those things he claimed not to care about.

Chu Lanqing: After I die, you can find someone else... No, you can't! You'd better be a good widower for me! If you dare to cheat, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!

Gu Huaizhou: I wouldn't dare. If you die, I'll die with you. If you live, I'll live with you.

Chu Lanqing: What if I don't want you anymore?

Gu Huaizhou: ...Then I'll die to show you!

Content warnings:

1. A review suggests that chapters 32-44 are pretty rough on the bottom. Bottom fans, please read with caution.

2. The bottom will get pregnant later on. If that's not for you, please skip this novel!

3. It's a mostly sweet story, but not pure fluff. It has angst and melodrama. If that's not for you, please skip it!

4. What I can guarantee is that they both love each other and never fall out of love. They're both completely pure, in mind and body.

Theme: Love is mutual, a steadfast choice, and never letting go.
