The Sickly Beauty Is the White Moonlight of the Cultivation World

Originally titled Jade Mountain Pillow [Main Story Complete] [The composed, aloof, sickly beauty of an immortal lord as the shou VS the relentless, deranged, sickly mad-dog gong who pursues him.] Shen Yueshan, the foremost figure in the immortal path, sacrificed himself to the heavens for all living beings. His power returned to the earth, saving the mortal world from disaster. In doing so, his soul vanished and his body crumbled to ash. Shen Yueshan never imagined he could come back from the dead. Unfortunately, he returned in a ruined body, dragging along only a wisp of his shattered soul. Since this was Heaven's will, this time he wanted to live for himself. He settled down at a remote, backward sect, planting crops, gathering herbs, making clothes, enjoying wine, playing chess, gazing at the moon, and, as a side job, being someone's father. Being a father wasn't easy, though. His son was far too rebellious, often refusing to listen and throwing endless fits. He even dared to defy his elders and show no respect for his betters. You unfilial brat. You've got some nerve! · A sickly-looking Elder Shen arrived at the Wunian Sect. He was graceful and refined, with an exceptionally handsome face. Though he seemed frail, his sword intent was peerless. Elder Shen was indifferent by nature and preferred a quiet life. He tended flowers and admired the moon, improved the sect's cultivation techniques, gave the disciples paper dolls to protect them, and answered their questions. It seemed there was nothing he didn't know, nothing he couldn't do. Every disciple in the sect admired and respected Elder Shen. In private, they often wondered about his origins and past. Until one day, they saw the sect master of the foremost immortal sect in the land, the Gengchen Immortal Sect, kneeling at Elder Shen's door. The Immortal Chief Qin had shed his usual confidence and now looked disheveled and dispirited, like a poor soul with nowhere to go. Then Elder Shen came out from behind the door, walking shoulder to shoulder beneath an umbrella with his adopted son, who was half a head taller. He passed Immortal Chief Qin without hurry and said coldly, "Get lost." That was when they finally understood just how important Elder Shen's origins were. And that adopted son was no pushover, either. When he looked back, his sinister eyes swept over Immortal Chief Qin, a flash of icy malice passing through them. He looked so vicious that he seemed ready to crush the man to pieces on the spot. But all that brutality vanished at a soft call from Elder Shen. It was as though an invisible chain extended from him and rested in Elder Shen's hand, barely keeping his nature in check before he could let loose. - Several characters have one-sided feelings for the shou, but the gong and shou only have eyes for each other. 1. This is a work of personal indulgence. I will always love an immortal lord shou. The shou is reborn. 2. They seem like father and son, but they aren't related by blood. They are adoptive father and son. 3. I'm working on the manuscript now. I'm afraid if I don't write this kind of story soon, the rules might get so strict that I won't be able to write it anymore... Sob, I love this trope so much. Cover artist: We Lou. Not an exclusive or commissioned work! * My next novel, available for preorder: Assassinating the Immortal Venerable Hundreds of Times [Book Transmigration] Did the assassination succeed? No. The assassin became the Immortal Lord's wife. · [The sneaky, cold-blooded (but kind), not-too-bright assassin shou VS the doting-on-his-wife, white-on-the-outside, pure-black-on-the-inside Immortal Venerable gong] · As the Shadow Clan's top assassin in the Demon Realm, Gu Changhuai's very first mission after joining the profession was to assassinate the leader of the righteous path. He was none other than Immortal Lord Qinglian Rong Ye, famed for wielding a sword whose brilliance could illuminate the world, and whose reputation was known across the land. But Gu Changhuai was a Book Transmigration survivor, so he knew that Immortal Lord Qinglian Rong Ye was the male protagonist's greatest golden finger in the male-lead-centric novel called Shattering the Heavens. "..." "???" Gu Changhuai hesitated. Gu Changhuai wavered. Gu Changhuai thought it over. Was he the only one going? Was he supposed to kill the male protagonist's golden finger? Hahaha, that's hilarious, guys. But a mission was a mission. If he didn't go, the Demon Venerable would kill him. If he did, Immortal Lord Qinglian would kill him. There was no escape, so Gu Changhuai decided to grit his teeth and go for it. Since he couldn't beat his target head-on, he'd take the roundabout route and attack from the shadows. Step one: Infiltrate the Xinnan Immortal Sect. Step two: Conspire with his accomplices. Step three... Draw up a hundred or more assassination plans. But... Uh... Gu Changhuai thought hard. Why had he suddenly ended up in bed with Rong Ye in the middle of an assassination? The arm around his waist seemed to be pushing things in an increasingly unpredictable direction... Behind him, beyond his sight, Rong Ye's lips curled into a smile. Within arm's reach, a vast net silently closed around the moth that had flown straight into it. An unsettling madness and predatory hunger seemed to spread through the air. Sensing that something was wrong, Gu Changhuai shifted uneasily. Rong Ye immediately tightened his arm, pulling the person in his embrace closer and holding him firmly in place. Their dark hair spilled across the bed, tangled together in a particularly intimate knot. A foolish assassin shouldn't be allowed to run around loose. One victim is all the trouble I need. * A little silly, a little sweet. Theme: Saving the world is a job only you can do.
