I’m Just a Poor Scholar

[My next story, That's the Villain, My Backer!, is underway. Come check it out! Scroll to the very bottom for the blurb. Mwah~]

Bu Qingyun is broke.

In the pricey city of Bianjing, being broke means ending up on the streets.

And, as you can imagine, Bu Qingyun ends up homeless.

To get out of this predicament, Bu Qingyun takes the pen name Miss Qinghe and writes a danmei story, The Domineering Prince's Adorable Husband. It becomes an overnight sensation in Bianjing.

Bu Qingyun makes a fortune and finally has enough to rent a place!

Life is looking up, and all that remains is passing the imperial exams. But then the truth comes out...

The gate to his rented mansion is kicked down. Prince Yan, the man alluded to in his danmei novel, grinds his teeth in fury. "Are you Miss Qinghe?"

The Imperial Guards pour in.

With his life on the line, Bu Qingyun instantly tucks away his fox tail. "This humble scholar is terrified. I don't understand what the prince is talking about."

I refuse to die!

Irrepressible, flighty scholar (Bu Qingyun), gong x cold, haughty, sharp-tongued Prince Yan (Xiao Yang), shou

Coming soon: That's the Villain, My Backer! blurb below

Abandoned disciple of the Immortal Way (Yan Yungui), gong x short-tempered Demon Lord (Qin Yinghuo), shou

A gong who'd rather talk than fight x a shou who'd rather fight than talk

A long-form male-protagonist cultivation story, requested under the title Seeking Immortality.

Yan Yungui, the eldest disciple of Changsheng Sect, peerlessly elegant, colludes with demons, and is cannon fodder.

Qin Yinghuo, an outer disciple of Changsheng Sect whose name no one remembers, is the boss.

The two have no connection.

Yan Yungui's identity as a spy is exposed, and he gets transmigrated.

Qin Yinghuo rises to power, leaves the sect, and goes into seclusion in the Demon Realm.

-

Yan Yungui gets a second chance at life, but someone is after him: people are hunting the head worth a princely hundred thousand spirit stones!

He grabs a megaphone and announces to the whole world:

"See that tallest, darkest mountain in the east? Who does it belong to? My lover! Back when I was at Changsheng Sect... Back then..."

"You know, Qin Yinghuo and I were cheek to cheek, slept side by side, talked by candlelight, and faced life and death together!"

"Hey, did you hear? The former eldest disciple of Changsheng Sect and the new Demon Lord Qin Yinghuo are lovers!"

When Qin Yinghuo emerges from seclusion, he is informed:

You're gay.

You're in love with Yan Yungui.

You're obsessed with Yan Yungui.

You won't marry anyone but Yan Yungui, whether as husband or wife.

May you be like the stars and he like the moon, shining together night after night.

Even if the mountains flatten and heaven and earth unite, you will never leave him. You loved him so much you left your sect and became a demon~

That night, Qin Yinghuo curses furiously: "Did the demons raise a bunch of useless idiots? You bunch of morons!"

★ The demons have been hit with a stupidity spell.

★ Yan Yungui schemes and plots.

★ I think it's pretty sweet. If you think so too, then great. If you don't, well, I still think so... I swear it's a sweet romance! (weakly)

Theme: Stay true to yourself and never forget your original intentions.
