[Coming soon: Ancient fantasy danmei, Watching My Archenemy Chase His Ex Into the Crematorium; modern danmei, After My Identity as the Movie Emperor's Anti-Fan Is Exposed]
Synopsis:
Just as the world was debating whether the bloodthirsty, brutal Demon Emperor Ying Shuluo, who had sacrificed his soul to save the world, should be worshipped or judged by the balance of his merits and sins, Jun Yueling, the foremost figure of the Immortal Way, stormed into the demon realm with the divine sword Taiyi and took up residence in the Demon Palace.
"I'll wait here for him to come back." That was all he said that day. From then on, he refused to see anyone.
Everyone: Immortal Lord Jinglan really does hate the Demon Emperor to the bone. Even after he's dead, he won't leave him alone. Now he's taking everything that belonged to him!
*
To return to the present day, Ying Shuluo surprised everyone by playing the hero and saving the world, successfully making his way back.
Ten years later, when he returned, he found that someone else was in charge of the demon realm, the Demon Palace had been taken over, his bed had been occupied, and the entire palace was full of puppet doubles of him.
The person who had taken his things had a handsome, strikingly beautiful face. Dressed in white as pure as snow, he was aloof and otherworldly, resting his forehead on one hand with his eyes closed.
Ying Shuluo stared at him without blinking, thinking, Did Jun Yueling make so many puppet doubles of me just so he could beat one to a pulp every day to vent his anger? Wow, that's really twisted.
Suddenly, the man on the throne opened his eyes. Having lost his cultivation and needing to save his own skin, Ying Shuluo improvised, pretending to be one of his own puppet doubles. He lowered his head and respectfully said, "Master."
Jun Yueling's ink-black eyes fixed on him for a long time, so long that Ying Shuluo nearly fell asleep. Only then did Jun Yueling beckon him over. "Luoluo, come here."
Ying Shuluo shuffled closer and said stiffly, "Master, what are your orders?"
Jun Yueling suddenly pulled him close and held him, his arms clamped tightly around Ying Shuluo's waist. His gaze burned as it met Ying Shuluo's, and a trace of restrained tenderness crept into his cool voice.
"Spend the night with me."
Ying Shuluo was stunned. "..." Ten years apart, and his archenemy had become this psychologically twisted!
He wouldn't even spare a puppet double of him! He wanted to do that sort of thing with it, too!
Are people who cultivate the Heartless Way all this twisted?

Coming soon: Watching My Archenemy Chase His Ex Into the Crematorium
The moment Qi Yin emerged from seclusion, he heard some juicy gossip about his archenemy, Bei Hao.
Apparently, a hundred years ago, Bei Hao descended to the mortal realm to undergo a trial and was born as a mortal. Amid a world in chaos, he devoted himself to helping the chosen one achieve greatness. They stuck together through life and death, their lives and feelings entangled for most of their years. In the end, the chosen one abandoned Bei Hao after using him, all for the sake of his great cause. He grew distant from Bei Hao and even schemed to get Bei Hao's closest friend killed. Heartbroken and despondent, Bei Hao eventually died.
Qi Yin gleefully ate up the gossip and remarked, "Bei Hao's friend Zhongli Ying was deeply in love with him and unwaveringly devoted. He even surrendered without a fight for Bei Hao's sake, and that was what brought disaster down on him. Meanwhile, Bei Hao was so caught up with that emperor that he never noticed his friend's devotion. The biggest fool in the world, that's what he was!"
Later, he discovered that the fool was none other than himself.
*
Bei Hao returned from the underworld once more, searching for Zhongli Ying's soul. He walked into the pouring rain, looking utterly desolate and lonely.
Qi Yin stood beside him beneath an umbrella and made a sarcastic remark. "Look on the bright side. Maybe he won't let you find him because he thinks you're bad luck."
Bei Hao swayed, blood in his throat.
Bei Hao sat motionless before Zhongli Ying's cenotaph, his eyes lifeless, his face pale and his expression grief-stricken.
Qi Yin stood nearby, cracking melon seeds. He clicked his tongue twice and said, "A love that comes too late is worth less than grass."
Bei Hao was so devastated that he nearly went mad from cultivation deviation.
Later, an impostor claiming to be Zhongli Ying appeared. He said he could bring Zhongli Ying back to life if Bei Hao gave up his divine power and soul.
Qi Yin panicked. First, he beat the impostor until his soul scattered. Then he snapped, "You absolute idiot! You believe that? I'm Zhongli Ying!"
As soon as he said it, Qi Yin realized he'd let the truth slip. He swallowed and asked earnestly, "If I say I was joking, will you believe me?"
Bei Hao rushed forward and held Qi Yin tightly as he tried to leave. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse and trembling. "A Yin, I believe you. You are him..."
*
One day, Qi Yin found one of Bei Hao's jade slips and read his diary.
X month X day: Did Qi Yin admit today that he's A Ying? No. He said I was bad luck.
X month X day: Did Qi Yin admit today that he's A Ying? No. He called me despicable.
X month X day: Did Qi Yin admit today that he's A Ying? He did. He called me an idiot.
X year X month X day: I want to merge A Yin into my very bones. I want him to have eyes only for me, to belong to me alone. I want to lock him in bed, day and night, for all eternity.
Qi Yin hadn't even had time to get angry when the final sentence set off alarm bells. He immediately packed his things and prepared to run.
At the doorway, he saw the supremely handsome, cool, composed Divine Lord walking toward him. His voice was clear and low, but Qi Yin felt a chill run down his back, his waist ache even more, and his legs go weak.
"A Yin, where are you going?" the Divine Lord asked with a smile.

Coming soon: After My Identity as the Movie Emperor's Anti-Fan Is Exposed
In the danmei novel After Marrying a Top-Tier Star, there's a minor male character: an obscure little celebrity, the top's childhood friend, who secretly loves him. After the top and bottom get together, he chooses to offer them his blessings and swears to protect their love.
When he learns that the villainous movie emperor is trying to break up the main couple, he secretly uses an alternate account to bash the movie emperor every day, and loves every minute of it.
Zhu Qingzhu transmigrates into this minor character. After his identity as the movie emperor's anti-fan is exposed, mockery and abuse come pouring in, and rumors that the movie emperor will have him blacklisted run rampant.
Just as he's preparing to quit the entertainment industry and sell fried potatoes, a contract for an anti-fan variety show lands in his hands.
Director: "The pay is generous, the show's easy, and it's a blast! It could be a huge hit!"
Zhu Qingzhu asks cautiously, "Who am I doing it with?"
"The guy you've been bashing: movie emperor Fu Zhen!" The director pats him on the shoulder and says earnestly, "You've already been torn to shreds by the public. You may as well turn the hate into fame!"
Zhu Qingzhu sucks in a sharp breath. "...Just kill me!"
*
Fu Zhen's fans storm into the anti-fan variety show, ready to see how this audacious young celebrity will mock and insult their idol, and to fire back. But they find that the young celebrity's style is a little different from everyone else's.
Zhu Qingzhu looks haughty and aloof. "With legs that long, you must trip all the time when you walk! Heh."
Netizens: ...Why not just call him a little snack cake instead?
Fu Zhen: ...
Zhu Qingzhu rolls his eyes. "With that much hair, you must shed a lot every day!"
Netizens: You might as well say he gets grumpy in the morning...
Fu Zhen: Ah, right.
Zhu Qingzhu lifts his chin and feigns disdain. "Y-you're really ugly!"
Netizens: "You can't even look him in the eye when you say it!"
Fu Zhen curls his lips into a smile. "Then why do you blush when you look at me?"
His manager, exasperated, puts Zhu Qingzhu through a boot camp on how to be an anti-fan. So during a livestream, Zhu Qingzhu finally works up the courage to nitpick the movie emperor and make snide remarks.
The viewers watch with excitement, urging Zhu Qingzhu to keep it up.
During a break, Fu Zhen drags Zhu Qingzhu into the bathroom and pins him against the wall.
The handsome movie emperor lowers his long lashes. His slender fingers grip Zhu Qingzhu's refined chin as he gazes at him intently.
"Who did you say was impotent, huh?"
Zhu Qingzhu swallows, his cheeks flushing red. "I-I'm just doing my job..."
Fu Zhen leans close to his ear and whispers tenderly, "Wait for me tonight. I'll prove whether I'm impotent or not."
"Big brother, I can't take it anymore. Didn't we agree on only three times a week? Mmph..."
Zhu Qingzhu forgets to turn off his mic. The viewers, who have been listening to the whole thing live, erupt. The screen fills with "???" and "Holy crap!!!"
*
Fu Zhen has a fiance chosen for him by an arranged marriage. His initial opinion: a useless idiot with nothing going for him but his looks, not even worth the time for a fling.
Later: "Hey, babe, are you there? Are you free? Why don't you play with me?"
