Secretly Doting

The infrasound disaster four years ago took more than a hundred lives. Everyone said the culprit was the demoness Xi Jin, because she was born different and could hear infrasound being emitted.

Back then, Xi Jin was worrying about little things: When could her busy boyfriend come visit her again? Her younger brother's birthday was coming up. Should she make him a birthday cake, and could she find a way to smash it in his face? She still hadn't video-called her mother today.

Until one day, a thousand people surrounded Xi Jin in a corner, cursing and denouncing her. They demanded to know what she had done with those hundred-plus lives, and how she could smile in front of her parents' graves. But to her, all that noisy commotion seemed no more than a lively marriage proposal.

Xi Jin had never known that the world she lived in had been carefully dressed up by Lan Yan. If she wanted an apple, he would plant an apple tree in the courtyard for her. If she liked little animals, he would even bring her Don Quixote's steed. His only request was that she never leave the courtyard.

In Xi Jin's eyes, Lan Yan had always been calm and capable of anything. But once, when she kicked up a fuss, he pressed his lips to her ear, his voice so restrained it was almost unbearable, and said, "I only have you."

Where could anyone else come from?

Compared with Xi Jin, Lan Yan was much simpler. He had only ever told one lie in his life.

He had only one wish: "I hope Xi Jin won't always be happy."

*When the cleverest person weaves a lie, he can turn the universe into a love letter, making every illusion come true in your world.

*May every earthquake be predictable, and may everyone be safe.

Her younger brother Xi Jun and Miss's new novel, The Gods Forgot They Had Fallen to Darkness

You Bai had lived for hundreds of years. Every year, she would hear storytellers in the deep alleys recount rumors about that person: "There was once a peerlessly beautiful city lord in this world, revered as a god. They say he had someone he loved."

You Bai: "..."

She didn't know why people were so fond of making up stories about his love life. They embarrassed her every time she heard them.

The story moved the storyteller himself to tears. With red-rimmed eyes, he said, "Later, the city lord was killed after the great clans joined forces against him. People secretly fought over his bones, and the person he loved was so heartbroken that they took their own life!"

You Bai: "..."

I feel like I owe you all an apology for being alive.

At last, he pounded his chest and lamented, "After the city lord died, the world fell into chaos. Evil spirits ran rampant, and the people suffered terribly!"

That part was true. The city lord had once kept the world at peace. After he died, demons and monsters rose everywhere.

One day, a child told the storyteller, "Those evil spirits are the gods you were talking about."

The storyteller choked in fright at the words and told the child, "What nonsense! Pure nonsense!"

The child had no tact and added, "When he turns into an evil spirit, he goes and bullies the person he loves, You Bai."

The storyteller didn't believe his own tale anymore, but went along with it anyway. "That's family business. Family business."

The child: "Oh, family business."

The child had barely finished speaking when someone tapped him on the head. Xi Jun told him, "Anything that goes against someone's wishes can't be called family business."

When Xi Jun first met You Bai, he thought she was willful and pampered. Later, he discovered she had many secrets. For instance, she was a woman disguised as a man. For instance, she had met him in a previous life.

Gradually, he learned what the city lord had done to her.

And when he could no longer suppress his feelings and realized he had become greedy for You Bai, he finally remembered that the city lord, revered by some as a god and trampled into the mud by others, was himself.

So what happens next? Does he go back to being their god, or keep being an evil spirit?

That depends on which one will let him have You Bai.
