The Demon Lord Comes Down the Mountain

My neighboring novel, Reborn as the Dragon King, I Turned Myself In to the State, is already out. Go ahead and read it.

The Demon Lord Shu Wangchen is gravely ill and near death.

He adopted a secret identity to write his autobiography, even predicting how his story would end: a lonely death, despised by all. But as he wrote, Shu Wangchen changed his mind. If he was going to die anyway, why not enjoy his remaining days to the fullest? So he decided to leave seclusion and enjoy the rest of his life.

But to his surprise, finishing his autobiography also brought a breakthrough in his state of mind. By sheer chance, his body, which no medicine could cure, finally had a chance to recover.

Everyone knows that Shu Wangchen, the mad musician and swordsman, is peerless and breathtakingly beautiful. But he is also the number one Demon Lord under heaven. Now gravely injured, the Demon Lord can only wait to die in the depths of the Demon Realm.

Then one day, he actually came down from the mountain.

Everyone watched the Demon Lord, looking so sickly he seemed unlikely to last another day. But one day passed, then another, and somehow he still didn't die. Until one day, cultivators throughout the world watched Shu Wangchen spit blood as he slammed the leader of the righteous sects into the dirt...

Shu Wangchen: I'm about to die.

The entire cultivation world roared: Do you think we're idiots?

P.S. No CP. Playing the weakling while secretly being powerful. A ridiculous, melodramatic, feel-good romp.

Reborn as the Dragon King, I Turned Myself In to the State

In his previous life, after becoming the Dragon King, Xi Yu was always hiding, afraid he'd be captured and dissected. But whenever he ran into danger, it was the state that helped him, time and again.

After being reborn, Xi Yu didn't hesitate to turn himself in to the state. He prepared himself for a hard struggle and more hardship, but never expected to become the nation's beloved darling. Even more surprisingly, his combat abilities proved unnecessary: thanks to his dragon aura, he became a logistics support powerhouse.

The insect race invades: Xi Yu rubs his hands together, ready to fight.

Citizen No. 1: Take a break. We don't need you to step in.

The monster world arrives: Xi Yu goes on high alert.

Citizen No. 2: Sit tight. We'll catch monsters for you to play with.

The world of ghosts and monsters opens up: Xi Yu shows his claws.

The entire nation: As a national treasure, can't you remember who you are?...

One invading world after another falls, leaving behind tears of regret: Why are you so powerful?

The citizens answer proudly: Because we have our Big Dragon!

Bonus Scene:

Xi Yu isn't convinced. I'm strong too, you know.

A hand reaches over and pats his head. Be good. I don't want you getting tired.

Xi Yu pouts. Who's afraid of getting tired? Who was it that couldn't keep going after the sixth time last night?

A certain dragon guardian: Can you just say something like that out loud?

Xi Yu: Dragons are naturally...

You shut up!
