Dear readers, I can't keep writing this story. It's become a little too painful, so I've unlocked it. Maybe I'll write it again someday.
Please add my upcoming story, What's This Love Triangle Got to Do with Me?, to your reading list! The blurb is at the end.
In his previous life, Shen Wuyi went astray halfway through and fell into demonic cultivation. He turned the cultivation world upside down, and in the end, died in front of his master, burned to ash by ten directions of heavenly lightning.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had been reborn three years earlier, before everything had spiraled out of control.
With a second chance at life, he had come to understand many things. This time, he decided to hide his unspeakable obsession and be a good disciple who respected his master and followed the proper path.
His master still seemed calm and aloof, his robes pristine wherever he went, but he was no longer as cold and distant as he had been in Shen Wuyi's previous life.
Shen Wuyi was greedy for his master's fleeting tenderness, which was so easy to mistake for something more, but he had to remind himself to stay clearheaded.
Until one day, by chance, he discovered that his master, who had always seemed pure-hearted and otherworldly, had a heart demon too...
And that heart demon was none other than Shen Wuyi himself, who had been struck dead by lightning in his previous life.
Shen Wuyi's diary:
Day X
Today we went out to exterminate monsters. Master gave Junior Brother a protective charm, embroidered with his begonias! Junior Brother really isn't very strong, but I'm still a little jealous... No, extremely jealous. I want to beat him up and steal the charm.
Day X
Fairy Yunni came to visit today. Master ate the pastries she made. I'm so mad. This woman was always clinging to Master in my previous life, and she never liked me. What's so good about her lousy pastries? Mine are better. Sure, mine look a little ugly, but what's the point of looking good?
I'm so annoyed. Why did Master enjoy eating them so much? What were they talking about? They were too far away for me to hear!
I couldn't even sweep the floor properly. It took me all afternoon, and Master scolded me for it. I went to find Dazhuang and got into a fight, but I still feel awful.
Day X
I don't want to soak in the Soul-Cleansing Pool anymore. It really hurts!
Junior Brother couldn't stand it after half an incense stick, but I have to soak for three whole hours!
Why does Junior Brother get to stop when he says it hurts, but I don't?
Tong Chen, I hate you!!
Tong Chen: ...
Say that again. What do you hate me?
Shen Wuyi: Master! I-I was just making things up in my diary! Of course I like you. I like you most of all.
Tong Chen closed the diary and looked at him for a while, his gaze gradually softening. "You don't need to write in this anymore. From now on, just tell me what you want."
Steady, taciturn, fiercely protective, strongest gong x sharp-looking but actually scatterbrained and mischievous shou
Reading guide:
* Everything mentioned in the diary has a reason behind it. Everything the gong does is for the shou, and in both their lives, their hearts and bodies belong only to each other.
* The previous life may have a tiny bit of angst, but the main tone is sweet, sweet, sweet.
* Both are reborn.
* Both are secretly in love.
Blurb for the upcoming story What's This Love Triangle Got to Do with Me?:
One day, Xu Enmiao's largely absent mother suddenly married into the powerful Wen family, becoming the second wife of its patriarch, a wealthy lord from the Lakeside District.
This had little to do with Xu Enmiao, the unwanted tagalong. As compensation, the wealthy family gave him some money and the chance to attend an elite school in the Lakeside District.
Life went on quietly until one day he took a fall and suddenly realized something: this world was actually a 1v4 danmei novel, and the protagonist was Han Shiqing, the unpopular omega second son of the Han family.
Xu Enmiao: !?
He knew Han Shiqing. Wasn't he his half-brother and the fiancée of Wen Youlin, the eldest son of the Wen family?
And in this story, the two Wen brothers, the heir to the Ironworks District's most powerful organization, and the only son of the Alliance Secretary-General would all fall desperately in love with him, to the point of fighting to the death.
Five people chasing and running from each other, with melodrama and misunderstandings aplenty. What a show.
Whoa! What a juicy scandal!
But that's not the point. The point is that Xu Enmiao is just a background character in this book! And not just any background character, but a lowly one who falls for the Alliance Secretary-General's son, keeps getting himself into trouble, and eventually dies for real!
Xu Enmiao, with only one life to his name: No!!
That young master orders him around all day! He'd have to be insane to fall for him!
Sensing disaster, Xu Enmiao goes on high alert and starts doing everything he can to stay alive.
But the gossip is just too good, so even while trying to survive, he can't resist going around and digging up more.
Watching four men with top-tier looks and status fight over each other every day fills Xu Enmiao with glee. He can't help sneering to himself: Look at you now!
Until one day, he accidentally says what he's thinking out loud: "When are you guys going to start fighting?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turn to him.
In a silence full of unspoken understanding, the elegant man wipes his glasses and laughs, his eyes fixed on Xu Enmiao. "Miaomiao, is it not enough for you to flirt with everyone? Do you have to make us all go crazy over you, too?"
Xu Enmiao: ???
Wait, what does this have to do with him?!
Two-faced, ambitious gong x crafty, timid, and not very bright shou
The official pairing will probably be the eldest brother. Maybe there'll be a little NTR, but either way, I can write it now!
Theme: Achieving your wishes through hard work.
Master probably used the Karma Bell... Looking forward to the follow-up~
Where has the author gone... Missing me!
Liancheng can't be the master, right?
Master: Isn't it the sword spike given to me? Why did you give it to the tree? [Hold your chin]
Can't you leave a message now?
All of them must be the ancestors, all of them just lost their souls.
Ding~Business fluid blessing update is stress-free!
That's great. I've confessed.
On 7/20, in the last paragraph, the person's pronoun is wrong. It's Tu Zhu, not Heng Shu.
Sure enough, Liancheng is the master, right 🐶 🍉
