Tentacles and the Immortal Venerable

Xu Xinglan, the aloof immortal lord of Yuyang Peak, could slay every evil with his sword, his heart as still as water. Until one day, while battling a monstrous giant octopus in a cave, he was dragged by its tentacles into a long dream. The one behind it was also the person he least wanted to face: his senior brother Ye Hua, who had fallen to the demonic path many years ago. The dream turned again and again, constantly resetting their identities. Demon empress and king, detective and criminal, enemies and lovers... The dream-weaver closed in step by step, laying a tender, tempting trap. The monster's hideous tentacles wrapped around the immortal lord's arm, turning a vivid red from the heat of his skin, like a raging flame in full bloom. The white-haired, red-eyed demon whispered in his ear, each word burning like a wound: "Immortal Venerable, your heart is elsewhere." The more he struggled, the deeper he fell. With nowhere left to turn, he had no choice but to seek refuge in the monster's arms. *Obsessive tentacle monster x aloof immortal venerable *Happy ending, one-on-one, both pure, with a love rival Thesis: Love and peace
