Xu Changyin × Xingzhi
Xu Changyin, former head of the quick transmigration bureau's Villain Department, was brought back from retirement a year after he left. The reason: the little thing he took in and raised has turned the small worlds upside down and brought them to the brink of collapse.
Xu Changyin: What does that have to do with me? I've raised him for so long, and he still won't even call me Father!

World One: A conglomeration of desires
Beneath the bustling city's surface, dark currents are always at work.
Who would have thought that the impeccably dressed movie star was really a monster wearing human skin, surviving by feeding on his fans' love and desire?
Yet when Xingzhi sees Xu Changyin, who has come to discuss a collaboration, he doesn't sense any desire from him at all.
Curious, and drawn closer by the rare glimpses of desire Xu Changyin lets slip, he sinks into the delicious taste of it.
"Please, I only want your love and desire."
Xu Changyin embraces the monster who would otherwise drag the world into a romantic fantasy:
"Then from now on, you can only feed on my love and desire."

World Two: A rare spiritual plant
The Jade Bone Flower is a spiritual plant that appears once in ten thousand years. It takes a hundred years to take human form and a thousand to ascend to immortality.
But Xingzhi is lazy and puts off taking human form, so a villain tries to steal his destiny. Xingzhi kills him instead, but his nature grows increasingly violent.
Xu Changyin disguises himself as a disciple of the immortal sect and plays the zither and cultivates beside the Jade Bone Flower. Whenever he sees it, he exclaims, "What a beautiful flower!"
Until one day, Xu Changyin stops the villain passing by the Jade Bone Flower and asks, looking bashful, "Master, is there someone you like?"
The Jade Bone Flower trembles with rage.
In just sixty years, Xingzhi takes human form, pins Xu Changyin against the door, and says, "Do you even understand what it means to be indebted to your master, who's like a father to you? This is incest! You're not allowed to like him!"
Xu Changyin innocently shakes his head. "I just admire the strong. Whoever is number one in the world, that's who I like."
What do you do when your child won't work hard? Give him a little motivation.

World Three: A severe, masked prison warden
The highest-security prison holds only the most heinous criminals.
In shackles, Xu Changyin watches the chief warden pass by through his cell window.
A scale-like mask covers his face. Xingzhi's gaze in return is cold and composed.
So why did he drag the whole world into war?
Xu Changyin continues to disobey the rules in prison, and Xingzhi repeatedly takes him aside to discipline him.
One day, Xu Changyin is summoned to Xingzhi's office again for breaking the rules.
He casually sits on Xingzhi's lap. "I heard only a loved one can remove a mask. Is that true?"
At his words, the stern warden obediently lowers his head.

World Four: An angel race with imprinting instincts
Xu Changyin arrives early. Xingzhi is still an egg.
Fortunately, Xu Changyin has plenty of parenting experience. Hatching an egg is a piece of cake.
The newly hatched angel has little wings on his back, reminding Xu Changyin of when he first found Xingzhi.
Before Xu Changyin can reminisce, Xingzhi says, "Mama~"
Xu Changyin "smiles" and pinches his chubby cheeks. "Call me Daddy!"
As a pureblooded S-rank angel, Xingzhi is extremely dutiful. Watching him put on an act, Xu Changyin can't help but sneer. Want to act? Let's see who's the better actor.
So, on Xingzhi's coming-of-age day, Xu Changyin hands him a stack of documents. "Go meet the young ladies in these profiles and settle on a marriage."
Xingzhi's expression darkens. "If that's what Father wants, I'll do it."
Xu Changyin: "Great. I'll go meet a few people too, and give you a complete family."
Xingzhi throws the documents to the ground and grips Xu Changyin's arm so tightly he nearly crushes it. "You wouldn't dare!"
Reading guide:
1. Both are pure, one-on-one, the shou is not split into multiple copies, happy ending. They have strong mutual feelings, and it's a sweet romance.
2. This is an indulgent fantasy. The handsome and powerful gong pretends to be a delicate little flower. The shou is self-important and calls the gong his wife. The gong agrees and coaxes the shou into lying down.
3. This is the first version of the blurb and may change. The world order may change, or new worlds may be added, but the central premise will stay the same.
Theme: Stay humble and composed
