The Dragon Protagonist and the Rich Heiress

Shen Shushu, the cultivation world's number one rich beauty, a useless darling pampered by everyone.

While everyone else cultivates, he sleeps. While everyone else abstains from food, he takes pills. He's a second-generation immortal who reached the Golden Core stage by throwing resources at it.

But! So what? When enemies come, he has three special skills:

My dad is the head of the Pill Sect! My mom is the Valley Master of Medicine! My big brother is the leader of the Immortal Alliance!

The whole cultivation world is surnamed Shen. Shen as in Shen Shushu.

As his parents' darling and his brother and sister-in-law's precious treasure, Shen Shushu was a little honeybee raised in a jar of honey.

Every day, all he had to do was dress up in a noisy clatter of ornaments, check in at the academy, listen to people shower him with praise and compliments, then let his childhood friends compete to walk him home by the hand.

Until Long Aotian, the man he was engaged to, came to see him.

Long Aotian was at the beginning of his leveling-up journey. He had lost all his cultivation, been rejected by his family, and was shrouded in a gloomy, sinister aura.

Childhood friend: "That man is definitely bad news. Shushu, stay away from him."

Parents: "We were too hasty back then. Shushu, stay away from him."

Brother and sister-in-law: "If he dares force you into marriage, we'll kill him. Shushu, stay away from him."

Shen Shushu clung to the sect's guardian stone and peeked outside. Before long, his little face was flushed pink.

What are they babbling about? My husband is so handsome.

Feng Wu, an abandoned son of the Sword Sect, had been betrayed by his family. Once a favored genius, he had fallen into ruin overnight, becoming a madman who had lost all his cultivation and was reviled by everyone.

He had originally planned to use a marriage contract to buy himself a chance to stay alive for a little while, but...

"What good-for-nothing are you, thinking you can marry into the Shen family?"

"The Sword Sect threw out that good-for-nothing. Don't come here and make a fool of yourself."

"What bad luck. If you're going to die, go die somewhere else."

Humiliation and mockery washed over him like a tide. Feng Wu silently swore to himself:

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't bully a young man just because he's poor. When I return to the top one day, I'll make everyone who looked down on me...

A soft little hand touched his face. A fine brocade cloak was draped over him. A boy more beautiful than an immortal stood before him, tilted his head, and spoke to him in the most beautiful voice in the world:

"Are you my husband?"

Me?

Yes, it's me.

*

My little husband is handsome and sweet, but the more I pamper him, the worse his reputation gets. People are always gossiping in front of me, saying that my darling husband has a sinister gaze and a face as dark as ink, and that he's ruthless and kills without batting an eye.

Shen Shushu: It's all lies. They're all bullying my husband!

My husband is clearly gentle as water and as innocent as a rabbit!

Until one day, Shen Shushu had a nightmare.

In the dream, he was the arrogant former fiance who looked down on Long Aotian. He had bullied and insulted Feng Wu, and in the end, his family was wiped out and he was chopped into pieces and fed to dogs.

The dream was so terrifying that when Shen Shushu woke up, he accidentally slapped Feng Wu.

Feng Wu lowered his head, his expression unreadable.

Shen Shushu: Waaah, it's true. The dream was real.

"S-sorry. I won't hit you again." Shen Shushu promised through his tears, trembling with fear.

Feng Wu, still savoring it: ...?!

No, wife, don't take away my perks!

* A silly, sweet little romance, perfect for bedtime reading.
