After the Demon Venerable and Immortal Emperor Fell in Love

(The first-stage blurb has been taken down.) 【Devoted Demon Lord bottom ❤️ Passionate Immortal Emperor top】 ┃Loving married couple┃Older top┃Sweet romance┃Farming┃Household intrigue┃Cultivation┃ Ling Zeyu transmigrated into an old-school, melodramatic danmei novel. In the book, the main couple are sworn enemies, the top and bottom at each other’s throats. During one great battle, they’re both so badly injured that they lose their memories. Afterward, they fall in love, passionately and hopelessly. Years later, they regain their memories and discover each other’s true identities. They then love and fight each other, battling so fiercely that the sky and earth crumble and the sun and moon lose their light, while everyone around them suffers. But none of this has anything to do with Ling Zeyu. He’s just an unnamed background character. At first, he thinks he’s landed in a farming story. Every day, he farms, hunts, gathers herbs, and raises a kitten. With a young tutor from the village school as his partner, he leads a relaxed, happy life in the countryside. One day, a magnificent carriage barges into their secluded village. A man dressed in fine robes steps out, drops to his knees before Ling Zeyu’s partner, and shouts, “General!” Ling Zeyu is stunned. After that, he packs up their belongings and heads to the capital with his man. They move into a grand mansion, and their life turns into a lively household-intrigue drama. He thinks he’s in a political power struggle and household-intrigue story. Then demons suddenly descend upon the world, devastating the land and leaving the people destitute. His partner, a wise and mighty warrior, sweeps his sword through the ranks of the enemy, leaving Ling Zeyu staring in amazement. When a group of cultivators rides down from the heavens on spirit beasts and respectfully calls his partner “Grand Martial Uncle,” Ling Zeyu is left utterly bewildered. So he’s in a cultivation story after all? No! That’s wrong! The cultivation story has nothing to do with him, because his partner tells him: “Thank you, A-Yu, for helping me through my tribulation of love. I’m about to ascend. Take this magic treasure. It can help you return to your original world.” Ling Zeyu: 😳🙉😱 He watches his “faithless husband” ascend after overcoming his tribulation, then angrily smashes the magic treasure and turns dark right there on the spot. Years later, Ling Zeyu leads a million-strong demon army into the Immortal Realm to collect on the love debt owed by his faithless husband. When the demon army breaks through the gates of the Immortal Realm and Ling Zeyu confronts his “ex-husband, the Immortal Emperor,” he finally learns the truth: The melodrama is only just beginning, and he’s the very protagonist destined to love and fight the top, his sworn enemy! * Having completed his tribulation of love, the Immortal Emperor returns to the Immortal Realm, where the immortals all pay homage to him. Years have passed, and the immortals notice that the Immortal Emperor seems to have grown a little more melancholy. For instance, he often stands alone before the Heavenly Chasm at the border between the Immortal and Demon Realms, sighing for no apparent reason. Then, one day, the Heavenly Chasm that had stood for billions of years shatters. A million demon soldiers surge through, led by a stunning white-haired Demon Lord whose imposing presence fills the heavens. The clouds of sorrow between the Immortal Emperor’s brows suddenly clear. * The original story kicks into gear. The Demon Lord and the Immortal Emperor are supposed to love and fight each other, following the melodramatic plot. Ling Zeyu scoffs. In his book, there’s no melodrama, only sweet romance. Even the lofty Immortal Emperor will love him with all his heart! As for fighting... Even sparring in bed counts as fighting~✧(◍˃̶ᗜ˂̶◍)✩ Demon Lord: “No more fighting. I’m exhausted. This lord is going to sleep.” The Immortal Emperor quietly pulls a blanket over his beloved’s belly.
