I'll Just Sit Here and Watch You Show Off

One day, the Pojun Star reported to me that Tianji had stolen a treasured item from the Purple Star Immortal Lord and given it to the beloved of the Vermilion Bird Deity, the Fox King of Qingqiu. Their tangled relationships left me quite bewildered, and I flew into a rage. These young whippersnappers are all in such a hurry. Here I am, old enough to know better and still single, while they're all living it up.

The outwardly unflappable, endlessly overthinking one x the scheming immortal lord, older seme///

In short, it's the story of a ten-thousand-year-old bachelor watching everyone else show off their love while doing his best to win his beloved's heart.

The immortals:

"Your Majesty, do you know why you've been running around for centuries and still haven't found yourself a wife?"

"Because you used to ruin other people's relationships. Heaven's punishment, that's why."

Please note the following:

● As usual, it's 1v1 + a happy ending, but it might not be all that sweet.

● Standard warning: this is a first-person story with the protagonist as the pursuer.

● Updates daily at 6 p.m. This is an old abandoned project I'm picking back up, and the plot has been extensively revised, so I don't recommend reading comments from too far back.

● Writing and reading are for fun. The characters' values don't represent the author's. Feel free to share differing opinions, but please start your own thread instead of arguing under comments by readers who disagree with you. Let's all enjoy the story in peace. Also, this isn't a stock-picking story, so don't expect me to change the plot because some stranger says goodbye. Scratches head.jpg

My next story, "Shh, I Don't Have a Secret Identity," is now open for bookmarks. Here's the blurb, w

Ji An, the pampered darling of the Chi clan, runs away from his wedding in the middle of the night. Under the alias An Shouji, he goes to S City to write scripts for a xianxia drama. There he unexpectedly meets Chen Yu, a popular movie star, and falls in love at first sight.

On set.

Chen Yu: "You want to date me?"

Ji An: Yes, yes, yes!

Chen Yu: But I heard you're one of the biggest names in the Chen Yu fanfic community, writing about him paired with everyone?

Ji An: ...I didn't. That's not me.

Chen Yu: And you ran away from marrying me, too.

Ji An: ...

Extra scene:

One day, two years after An Shouji and Chen Yu met through their drama.

Readers: Sob, are you going to update, Great Author? Please don't keep abandoning your stories. If you keep doing that, you'll die alone!

Faced with such a vicious curse, An Shouji, already under house arrest, can only delete his account in tears. His final post reads: I'm done updating. I'm going back home to marry my wife.

○ A writer who lives out an entire lifetime in his imagination, seme x a short-tempered movie star, a car-crash romance. Also known as: I wrote fanfiction about my idol under a secret identity, he found out, and I married him to make it up to him.

○ The uke presents himself to the public as a warm-hearted heartthrob, but the moment he's offstage his temper flares. A classic case of "If you can do better, then upload it. If not, stop talking."

○ The seme is a big name in web fiction. His main account is a famous cultivation-fiction writer, with the ID Tiandao Chouqin, who never misses an update except during typhoons and earthquakes. His secret identity is a nobody writing x-rated fiction, with the ID Wo Yu Nitian, forever teetering on the brink of abandoning his story.

○ 1v1 + a happy ending, a silly, sweet 1v1 romance between a red fox and a little phoenix.
