The Emperor Is Short-Sighted

(Please add my next novels to your collection: Through Your Lush Green Window, Bone Painter, and The Years I Was Raised by the Demon Lord~) Emperor Qingyang, the only qilin in all the realms, enjoys the exalted status of one of the Three Emperors, yet is an old fossil of a bachelor. After emerging from ten thousand years of seclusion, the Emperor has everyone guessing which young lady will catch his eye. Who could have guessed he'd fall for the infamous little princess of the Phoenix clan, then shamelessly pursue her with stubborn devotion? The gods and immortals: Has the Emperor gone blind? Only Qingyang knows that this pampered, arrogant little phoenix of legend has been hidden in his heart for most of his life. She is the secret he has kept through endless restraint, the wound in his chest that has never healed since time immemorial. (This novel has been heavily revised in its entirety and differs significantly from pirated versions.) - Blurb for Through Your Lush Green Window: A new guy has started working at the coffee shop downstairs. He's delicate-looking and fair-skinned. Even when people flirt with him, he only presses his lips together shyly. Xu Nanzhou always thought he was a pure, innocent little bunny. Until one day, at a party, the man singing in the colorful lights wore a black deep-V shirt. His foxlike eyes lifted seductively, like a demon who had wandered into the mortal world. After finishing a song, he went to the bar, mixed himself a drink, and downed it in one go. Xu Nanzhou struck up a casual conversation. "Make one for me too?" The man lowered his eyes slightly. His water-dappled index finger touched her wrist, and he smiled. "Aren't you already drunk, sis?" Xu Nanzhou thought that was his way of turning her down. She hadn't expected anything, but as she left, she noticed he was following right behind her. She turned around. "What, are you clinging to me now?" "I'm just waiting." His collar was buttoned all the way up, and he gave her a sweet, obedient smile. "When are you going to take me home, sis?" - After they got together, Xu Nanzhou asked, "Why wouldn't you make me a drink back then?" Gu Tingyi replied, "Because you get drunk easily, sis." "Nonsense." Xu Nanzhou frowned. "Can you really tell just by looking?" Gu Tingyi didn't answer. He picked up a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, then leaned down and covered her lips with his. Xu Nanzhou couldn't help blushing. Gu Tingyi chuckled against her ear. "See? You can even get drunk on water." "..." "You're not drunk on alcohol," he murmured. "You're drunk on me." - Let me be that touch of green outside your window, a new bud sprouting on a branch, blossoming into a brilliant, vivid flower in your snow-white winter. [Big sister, tonight I care nothing for humankind. I only think of you. - Hai Zi, Diary] Glamorous older woman x charming male heartbreaker Older woman/younger man romance / mutual flirting / mutual secret crush / five-year age gap - Blurb for Bone Painter: *A bone painter is impartial to yin and yang, free of love and desire, and cultivates the heart through bone painting. [Cold, beautiful woman who renounces love and desire VS obsessive, sickly, handsome man with an immensely powerful and tragic life] The first time Ye Jin read Yan Qi's bones was ten years ago. She was just learning bone painting and used him as practice. When she finished and turned in her work, the scroll bore just two bold, sweeping characters: "Useless." Her master laughed and added: "Your scholarship is poor. This is a once-in-a-millennium prodigy." Ten years later, Ye Jin read Yan Qi's bones again. He was no longer as he had been. The meridians throughout his body were severed, and he spent his days in a wheelchair or bedridden. Everyone in the Bone Painting sect was convinced he could never practice martial arts. Only Ye Jin stood against them all, inscribing her verdict upon his bones: "A peerless genius." Over the course of ten years, Yan Qi was reborn through bloodshed. Once the foremost talent above the clouds, he had now fallen into the mire. In the abyss shrouded in darkness, someone reached out a clean, delicate hand to him. He took hold of it, and never let go. - Blurb for The Years I Was Raised by the Demon Lord: After transmigrating into a book, Zhong Wan got off to a bad start: not only had she become a pet cat, but her owner, Jiang Xun, was blind. Bound by her character settings, Zhong Wan couldn't control some of her yandere behavior. So one night, she leaned close to Jiang Xun's ear and whispered: "Sir... I really want to tear myself into pieces and press them into your heart." Just as Zhong Wan was privately congratulating herself that Jiang Xun had fallen fast asleep, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Those cool, clear eyes seemed to have regained their sight as they stared at her. Zhong Wan felt both ashamed and embarrassed, yet couldn't suppress her excitement. She touched his eyes and rasped, "It seems like you're looking at me, sir..." He remained expressionless, his voice cold and ominous. "Turn back." Zhong Wan: "..." #MyCatFlirtsWithMeEveryDayButIJustWantToPetItsFurWhatDoIDo# #HowToCharmABlindManWithYourLooks# As an irresponsible yandere villain, Zhong Wan's biggest dream is to trick her handsome owner into coming home with her and lock him up. Then she successfully got locked up herself :) - Zhong Wan knew Jiang Xun would eventually be killed by a villain. To keep her job, Zhong Wan practiced diligently, worked hard as his bodyguard, and investigated which villain would kill him. Later, Zhong Wan figured it out. As it turned out, the blind man was the biggest villain in the book! He was going to kill himself :) Ever since Jiang Xun reclaimed his position as Demon Lord, he'd become ruthless, merciless, and cold-hearted. His only hobby was petting his cat. And so: When Jiang Xun got angry, the people of the Demon Palace would say: "Deputy Zhong, please see if this scratching post suits your taste!" When Jiang Xun wanted to settle accounts with the immortal sects, the immortals would say: "Deputy Zhong, please smell these dried fish. Don't they smell delicious?" When Jiang Xun tossed and turned at night... Zhong Wan: "I'm rolling over now. Please feel how soft my fur is QAQ" A real slacker / fake yandere x aloof, irritable Demon Lord obsessed with petting cats -You are the demon in my heart, and also the Buddha in my heart. Premise: Do not do evil, however small.
