The Demon Lord's Life Raising a Child [Transmigration]

Blurb:

Cang Xiangxun was killed by his enemies, then transmigrated into another world, inhabiting Lian Ji, a transparent cannon-fodder character.

He was called transparent cannon fodder because the moment he came back to life, he discovered that someone had chained this man up with black-gold chains and was extracting his spiritual root. Before he could even feel the joy of being given a new life, he was tortured until he was barely alive.

Being barely alive was bad enough, but fortunately, he was pretty tenacious. After just barely surviving, a cold voice suddenly rang out in his head:

"Ding. Host successfully bound. Preparing to issue a task."

Lian Ji: Who's talking?

System: Your task is to win over the Demon Venerable, Cang Xiangxun.

Lian Ji: ????

A story about a protagonist transmigrating into a parallel world: a fake face-slapping story, but a real romance (or rather, a story of being kept as a pet)~

I'll ask for leave if something comes up, but I won't abandon the story~

Content warnings: parallel worlds, soul transmigration, self-pairing.

After treating patients for so many years, Fourth Master Mu never imagined he would one day meet such an oddball as Xia Ziyu.

By day, this prince of Nanxia was reserved and well-behaved, the picture of propriety. Aside from being a little eccentric, he seemed to have no other problems.

But once night fell, he would suddenly suffer some kind of attack: insomnia, shutting himself away, refusing to speak to anyone, and even, if left unwatched for a moment, trying to jump off a building, slit his wrists, or drink poison.

In short, he'd put you through every kind of death you could imagine, never repeating one for a whole month...

If anyone else kept putting him through this, Mu Qingze would gladly let him have his way. But this oddball was a hostage prince sent from Nanxia to Tiansheng. The emperor had made it clear: if anything happened to him, three whole clans would be executed. No joke.

After using every bit of his knowledge to save the man, Mu Qingze felt as if his head were about to split in two.

Xia Ziyu: Why did you save me?

Mu Qingze: I'm still young. I haven't roamed the martial world, eaten, drunk, visited brothels, or gambled. I don't want to die.

Xia Ziyu: Eat, drink, visit brothels, and gamble?

Mu Qingze: So far, I've only managed to eat and drink.

Xia Ziyu: Oh. Then I'll help you with the third one first. Tomorrow, we'll go to a gambling house. (Starts taking off his clothes.)

Mu Qingze: What the hell?!

Afterward

Xia Ziyu: Can I die now?

Mu Qingze: You're still young. I haven't taken you roaming the martial world, eating, drinking, or letting me visit brothels. You can't die.

Xia Ziyu: ...Get lost.

Fourth Master Mu was kicked off the bed and rubbed his head with a bitter smile.

But they'd already slept together. What else could he do?

Keep him, indulge him, and treat him like royalty, of course.

He took him to listen to music, eat pastries, stroll through night markets, watch fireworks, and release lanterns...

And so Fourth Master Mu took his little prince by the hand. "Look, life is bright, and everything is lovely."

The little prince gazed into his eyes. "Mm."

Mu Qingze turned around and saw the slight curve of someone's lips.

Actually, Mu Qingze had realized from the start that aside from the episodes that gave him a headache, his little prince was quite adorable.

Reader's Guide

1. The romance is the focus, with a bickering-couple, sweet-and-indulgent dynamic. A bright, carefree doctor as the pursuer x a needy, nighttime troublemaker as the pursued.

2. The pursued character isn't being difficult for no reason. He has serious psychological issues caused by childhood trauma.

3. If there's angst, it's only there to set up the sweet moments!
