Former dirt-poor, arrogant hero, now a possessive and sadistic top x former haughty young master, now a cool and beautiful devoted husband
Donggong Ran has three great regrets in his life.
The first was storming out in a huff and enrolling at the academy under the assumed identity of Young Master Qian.
He made a group of useless friends, only for them to scatter to the ends of the earth. When they met again, it would have been better to leave the memories untouched.
The second was falling into an impulsive romance while at the academy.
His boyfriend turned out to be a beast. Even after they broke up, he continued humiliating and abusing Donggong Ran, leaving him unable to sleep in peace.
The last, and the one he only recently realized, was the greatest regret of his life:
Why hadn't he killed that beast Zhou Queshan more brutally?
Word spread through the cultivation world that the Immortal Emperor Zhou Queshan had returned from the dead.
The people were terrified, fearful, and disgusted. The world had changed beyond recognition. Would this emperor, who had met his end at the hands of his lover, reignite the flames of war in a fit of rage and throw heaven and earth into chaos?
But Zhou Queshan had nothing to say about the new world. Instead, he turned around and joined the demons.
The people panicked even more!
They waited in trepidation, only to hear that this demon had eradicated a serpent calamity and turned the old Qian lands upside down...
Then he casually subdued the demon realm and settled down to be a demon in peace.
When Donggong Ran heard the news, he bought a jug of fine pear-blossom wine that night, intending to enjoy a drink with his daughter.
But when he returned, he found someone sprawled in his courtyard, weakly begging him to save him, Young Master.
Donggong Ran looked at the man's completely uncovered face. "..."
He really wanted to use the jug of wine to send him straight back to the afterlife.
But the man seemed not to recognize him. After being rescued, he eagerly grabbed Donggong Ran's hand and vowed that he would never rest until he repaid the favor.
Donggong Ran had no choice but to pretend he knew nothing and diligently play the part of a widower from a small town.
Everything else was easy enough to explain. The problem was that his daughter looked only six years old. If he didn't drive this man away within a year, Donggong Ran would have to go back to his old ways and burn the shameless demon alive!
Notes:
1. One-on-one, both physically and emotionally devoted; Zhou Queshan x Donggong Ran, handsome top and beautiful bottom. The pairing will not change or reverse.
2. The author is a sucker for this stuff. The daughter is real, and so is the boyfriend. To preserve the reading experience, the truth won't be revealed too early. The story will have a fake-NTR flavor, specifically jokes about your wife being able to satisfy the mouth below you, and nothing else of that sort is allowed.
3. Low-magic xianxia. Overall, it's a little story about the two of them eating, drinking, and having fun, with the occasional monster fight. Only the flashback chapters may get painful. Also, I don't accept writing advice. The exit button is in the upper left corner (for your mental health, you can block me too!).
4. Originally titled Records of Burning Snow.
