Hot-tempered spoiled young master uke x scheming, nonhuman, theatrical seme
[100,000 words in the bank]
Shen Qianchen, the most notorious spoiled young master in the capital, was kicked out to the countryside by his own father to farm, under the grand excuse of "helping the emperor understand the people's lives."
His dilapidated house let in the wind, weeds choked his poor fields, and life was so miserable that he cursed the heavens, the earth, and his father every day.
Then one day, he woke up after fainting from hunger to find four dishes and a soup on the table.
A snail maiden?
He staked out the place, but didn't catch so much as a hair.
Instead, he found a badly injured man, driven to leap off a cliff by a wild beast, lying bloody at his doorstep.
Shen Qianchen followed the rules of the storybooks: Never pick up a man you find by the road.
So he buried him.
But the next day, the man named Yun Yi dug himself out of the dirt, looking bedraggled and smiling with an innocent expression.
"Young Master Shen, your burying technique isn't very professional. Want me to teach you?"
From then on, Shen Qianchen had a tagalong he couldn't shake.
Cooking, warming the bed, keeping trouble at bay, bringing in good fortune... Yun Yi was good at everything, except that sometimes the tip of his tail showed.

Yun Yi had noticed the pampered young master from the moment Shen Qianchen entered the territory of Baoqiong Ridge.
He'd lived for tens of thousands of years and met more people than Shen Qianchen had eaten grains of rice.
Yet never before had he met anyone who could curse for three hours straight without repeating himself:
He complained about the bumpy road, then the skinny horse, then the scorching sun, then how cruel his father was.
He looked like a spoiled young master, but when it came to cursing, he had energy to spare.
Interesting.
Content warnings:
1. The seme is nonhuman, a divine beast.
2. The seme dotes on the uke. The uke says one thing but means another. Both are each other's only love, happy ending.
3. Contains a tiny bit of political scheming.
4. If it's not to your taste, or you find you don't like it while reading, please exit and go back.
Final note: I do not accept edits suggested by certain extreme people (or anything else). Those "readers" should stay away from my story.
Theme: Life should keep trending upward.
