[Investiture of the Gods] The Saint’s Desire to Live

Main story complete. Yuanshi Tianzun in a young man's body.

You can enjoy this even if you aren't familiar with the original.

1

King Zhou writes an obscene poem, enraging Empress Nuwa.

Empress Nuwa sends a strand of love that had been left behind when humanity was created to be reborn. This strand of love can make a Saint experience mortal emotions, but it isn't particularly useful.

She casually casts it into the cycle of reincarnation, intending for it to go to the Shang court, ensnare the king's heart, and bring down the Yin dynasty.

The strand of love happily goes off to be reborn. But in her next life, she is naturally dim-witted and of ordinary talent, and does little more than pick wild fruit and herbs in the mountains.

Empress Nuwa immediately changes her mind and sends the three demons, including Daji, to the Shang dynasty instead.

As for the strand of love, now that she has been reborn, her life and death are up to fate. Empress Nuwa takes no further interest in her.

The strand of love is reborn as an ordinary green fox named Yousu.

To stay alive, Yousu goes to Kunlun Mountain to seek a Saint's protection.

The master of Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun, sighs at her. "You carry a rare treasure, yet your heart is set on the wrong path. I've come to guide you. Join my sect, and I will set you straight."

Yuanshi Tianzun takes pity on her meager magical powers and lets her stay in the Jade Void Palace. His actions are in accordance with the Heavenly Dao and intended to save a living being.

In reality, when he's bewitched every night, what Heavenly Dao could there possibly be?

Yuanshi Tianzun, master of the Chan Sect, champions orthodoxy and despises demons of lowly bloodlines.

Yousu's bloodline is lowly, and even after transforming, she still has fox ears and a tail. Knowing she isn't well-liked, she only hopes to return to Qingqiu Mountain soon.

She asks, "Tianzun, I've already helped you resolve the strand of love. Can you let me return to Qingqiu Mountain?"

Tianzun says nothing.

After a long while, his dark eyes shift.

They turn toward her.

He is a creator god who lives as long as the heavens. She seduced him into falling into mortality, and now she dares to leave him behind.

The male lead is Yuanshi Tianzun, a powerful figure in Investiture of the Gods. He looks like a paragon of virtue, but he's actually a little villainous and likes to impose his dominion in the name of the Heavenly Dao.

Out of character.

A little coercive possessiveness, a sharp-tongued, secretly wicked, arrogant dragon-born aristocrat who says one thing and does another × a morally upright, big-hearted, scruffy fox.

A sweet story at heart. Not a strong female lead.

Written to suit my kinks!

Here's a new story I've started: The Second Young Master Knows Everything

Synopsis:

In a time of chaos, the lords wage war against one another.

The Shan Jie family raises her until she's seven, then, unable to afford to keep her, sells her off as a boy.

Dressed in a short tunic, she becomes a page and devotes herself to serving the Second Young Master.

The Second Young Master can read people's hearts and foresee everything. He often asks whether a woman entered his room that night.

Shan Jie doesn't dare answer.

And all the while, her belly keeps growing.

Wei Fanzhi is arrogant and willful, with a jade-like face and a serpent's heart.

Shan Jie obeys him in everything, but she's also the only one who dares to fool him. She runs away with the child he's come to hate.

From childhood sweethearts to a young married couple sharing a bed, it turns out it was all false affection. She doesn't even want to give him a proper place in her life.

What a bitter humiliation.

Theme: If your mind is at peace, why bother with strict precepts? If your conduct is upright, why bother with meditation?
