The Fairest Beauty Under Heaven

Yan Qing has been out of the cultivation world for a hundred and eighty years, but legends about him still abound.

He has two titles.

One is the greatest swordsman in the world. The other is the most beautiful person in the world.

Autumn frost and bright moon, spring sunshine and rivers of stars, none compare to the sight of him lifting his eyes.

Too bad he has a mouth.

He thinks there are only three kinds of flowers in the world:

flowers at home, wildflowers,

and the stunning flower that is yours truly.

Still, according to the greatest beauty himself, looking like me does come with its share of troubles.

The trouble is, my little brother at home isn't very obedient.

He takes one step back, and the other pushes his luck.

He takes two steps back, and the other climbs right up the pole.

At last, he can take no more and slaps the increasingly outrageous pup across the face.

The pup doesn't care in the least. He just lowers his head and licks the traces of blood from Yan Qing's hand.

Yan Qing hears the shameless brat laugh and say, "Don't hurt your hand hitting your big brother."

As the grandest gathering in the Immortal Realm, the Immortals' Assembly brings together the righteous path's most promising young talents. But at its eleventh session, it is stormed by demonic cultivators.

The new disciples are gnashing their teeth with hatred, but trapped and powerless to act.

The elders of the various sects fear getting dragged into trouble, so they avert their eyes and drag their feet rather than stepping in.

For a time, demonic cultivators run rampant while the righteous path withers.

Then, the inconspicuous flute player in a corner of the platform ignores the tense atmosphere. Under everyone's gaze, he draws his sword with a cheerful smile.

"You bunch of evil heretics should stop showing off in front of the greatest person in the world."

The greatest person in the world in every way, a narcissistic, sharp-tongued bottom × a younger semihidden mad-dog top

The main story is probably about a bunch of young troublemakers hanging out, goofing off, and saving the world along the way. (The author is hopeless at writing blurbs, kneeling here, orz.)

P.S. The bottom appears at the end of Chapter 1. The top is a wolf in sheep's clothing. At first, he's a little kid who follows the bottom around. Lots of flashbacks.

And now, here's the next novel I'm planning to write. It's also a cultivation story, but with transmigration into a book. If you're interested, check it out in my author profile.

"I Absolutely Refuse to Be Bent"

Shen Que transmigrates into a book.

It's a danmei novel with a cultivation setting slapped on, but really it's a classic Green River-style harem romance with a male lead adored by all.

He becomes the cannon-fodder senior brother who loves the protagonist bottom but can't have him, then falls to the dark side and is killed with one blow by the protagonist top.

The good news: he's an editor, so he's intimately familiar with all these tired tropes.

The bad news: he's straight.

When the System arrives, its emotionless mechanical voice begins, "Hello, Host. I am..."

Shen Que cuts it off. "You're the System, right? We can talk about the mission later. Can I make a request? I'd like to get insurance for my chastity first."

The System: "..."

*

The protagonist bottom is secretly drugged by the cannon-fodder top. Shen Que catches them in the middle of the crisis

System: Host, please step in to help, raise the protagonist's affection, and change the cannon fodder's ending.

Shen Que: And then he'll fall in love with me at first sight? That's not a good idea.

System: Then you could...

Shen Que: Leave professional matters to the professionals. I'll do what a disciple of the righteous path should do.

System: ?

Shen Que: I choose to report him.

Later, thanks to an anonymous tip, the grandmaster arrives in time to prevent tragedy. Shen Que keeps his part in it a secret.

*

Shen Que knows perfectly well that once he's transmigrated into a book, there's a good chance that everyone will fall for him: the original male lead, the love interest, the villain, or even the cannon fodder...

So in a world full of men in love with men and women relegated to the background, his course of action is clear.

His top priority is protecting his chrysanthemum.

Because he, a straight man,

will absolutely! Never! Be bent!!!

Probably a classic story about someone disliked by all becoming everyone's favorite.
