A Few Things About My Stoic Subordinate

Starting March 23, Chapter 25 will be behind a paywall. If you've read it already, please don't buy it~ [Come check out my upcoming modern-day story, "Hard to Ship"~] After he died, he transmigrated into the body of Zhao Xuehan, a demon lord with only one subordinate. And that subordinate was the sort who would chop people's heads off at the slightest disagreement, making everyone terrified of him. Yet though the subordinate was quiet and stern-looking, he was gentle, capable, and skilled at everything: sewing clothes, cooking meals, refilling tea, tucking people in, and doing anything under the sun or beyond. And he showed that gentleness to no one but Zhao Xuehan. * As Zhao Xuehan drank the milk Yan Ke had just made, he said from the bottom of his heart, "You're so capable. Why be a subordinate to a demon lord? Just be my wife." Yan Ke swung his palm down, and a big tree fell with a crash. "What did you just say?" Zhao Xuehan: "...N-nothing." But the subordinate wasn't a subordinate, and Zhao Xuehan wasn't Zhao Xuehan. Tough, capable gong x soft, timid shou Please note before reading: 1v1, happy ending The setting is very casual. Primordial spirit cultivators are everywhere, and being a demon lord is no big deal. Don't overthink it. There will be a few modern-day scenes. The "Realm of Suffering" refers to modern society. (Original title: Reborn Between Two Worlds) Please add my new story to your list! Dear readers, pretty please! Title: Hard to Ship Almost-A-Lister Jiang Wenxu falls in love with Meng Xiao, a hot young guy from the same production, while filming a drama with two male leads. It should have been a long-lasting relationship, but it ended abruptly when filming wrapped. Jiang Wenxu was devastated and spent a long time in a slump. Then, two years later, the drama aired. Good news: The show became a smash hit. Bad news: He had to fake a CP with his ex-boyfriend Meng Xiao. * Jiang Wenxu thought he had already put the past behind him. He desperately needed the exposure to land good roles, so in the spirit of professionalism, he did his best to force a smile and cozy up to Meng Xiao. Meng Xiao, now a top-tier star, unexpectedly stopped avoiding the subject of Jiang Wenxu and cooperated enthusiastically with their publicity campaign. Maybe a little too enthusiastically. Good news: The CP promotion worked, and the two gained countless fans. Bad news: The fans all thought they were really hard to ship. The staged romantic moments Jiang Wenxu and Meng Xiao served up were enough to shatter their fans' steel teeth. And yet people kept coming back for another bite. Their fanbases continued to grow, and thanks to the surge in popularity, Jiang Wenxu finally landed the opportunities he'd been dreaming of. Having achieved his goal, Jiang Wenxu felt it was time to end the CP arrangement with Meng Xiao. Good news: The company finally announced that they could split up the CP. Bad news: Meng Xiao wouldn't allow it. * At the film festival awards ceremony, Jiang Wenxu and Meng Xiao both took the stage to accept their awards. The CP fans cheered so loudly they nearly lifted the roof. Jiang Wenxu fled in a panic, only for Meng Xiao to corner him backstage. "Why won't you answer me?" Meng Xiao gently pressed his lips to Jiang Wenxu's hair. "Do you also think my love for you is hard to ship?" Under the burning gazes of the directors, crew, makeup artists, and other actors and hosts waiting to go onstage, Jiang Wenxu held his forehead. "...This is backstage, not an empty room. And don't use a rhyming couplet when you confess!"
