My Roommate's Prey Has Its Eyes on Me

[Updates at 6 p.m. The full main story is complete and ready to read! Check the pinned post for the bonus chapters!]

Wen Xulan has a roommate who’s a total heartthrob. They say he turned straight guys gay multiple times in high school, with an impressive track record. His other two roommates don’t believe it, so they bet him he can’t win over the university’s aloof campus heartthrob.

.

Cen Yuan, the aloof heartthrob of Jiugang University, is in the school’s newly established Esports program. They say he’s a straight guy who keeps away from both men and women, with brothers but no romance. But lately, Wen Xulan often sees him at their group activities, showing up at the invitation of his heartthrob roommate.

After a few moments of silence, Wen Xulan decides that although he knows Cen Yuan is no simple person, he should still warn his senior when they’re alone. “They’re betting on you.”

To his surprise, his senior raises an eyebrow and smiles casually. “I know. But I’m not here for him. I came for you.”

Wen Xulan: “...???”

.

When Cen Yuan is on the commentators’ platform and the crowd starts wildly shipping him with someone, he shuts them down in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers. “Please stop making up pairings. I have someone. I’ve been pursuing him for a long time. And if my guy doesn’t get jealous, I’ll be really sad.”

Everyone: “...?”

Huh??? Is something not right here?

Shan Xian takes a very unusual part-time job. It pays well, but it’s dangerous: he has to keep a man with a mental illness and violent tendencies company, talk to him, and try to counsel him.

With his heart in his throat, Shan Xian opens the door to the villa. But instead of a disheveled patient, he sees a refined, elegant man who has made himself immaculate and trimmed his nails down to the quick.

And then, by accident, he falls right into a trap.

.

Shan Xian knows that You Ye is dangerous and that he’s hiding many secrets. But he never imagined You Ye’s biggest secret was the name of the person he loved, a name he never revealed even after enduring tens of thousands of electric shocks at a conversion therapy camp. That person was Shan Xian.

Because he loves him, the maddened dragon bites off its own claws and files down its fangs, carefully putting on a human face before standing before him.

When Luo Chuanxue achieves the Great Dao, he does something outrageous. He reverses time and returns to the day he officially joins Cangyun Sect at the age of eighteen. He appears before his eighteen-year-old self and tells him a story.

Eighteen-year-old Luo Chuanxue looks at the blood-covered man. “So in the future, my master will covet my sword bones and push me into danger, then tear the bones and sinews from my body. My senior brother will let love turn to hate and throw me into the Demon Abyss, where I’ll suffer the agony of being devoured by countless ghosts...”

He rubs his chin and sighs. “All right, you can stay here and heal first.”

As for whether he believes him, of course he does.

If he really encountered all those things, he would surely reverse time to save his past self.

.

The newly recruited sword cultivator genius at Cangyun Sect has been rather rebellious lately. Not only has he broken the sect’s rules by practicing a path other than the sword, he’s also tangled up in an ambiguous relationship with a demonic cultivator.

But despite all the rumors about Luo Chuanxue, people still confess their feelings to him.

One day, right after Luo Chuanxue receives a confession, someone grabs him and slams him against a tree. It’s himself.

He grips Luo Chuanxue’s chin, presses his lips to his, and says in a cold, hoarse voice, “I didn’t reverse time so you could flirt around. Those people don’t really love you.”

Luo Chuanxue blinks. “So you won’t let me form a marriage pact with myself, either?”

Luo Chuanxue, the demonic cultivator version: “...”

“Fine.”

After all, nobody loves you more than you love yourself.
