Liang Ci was naturally aloof and fearless. He thought he would take the stage and live an ordinary life as an ordinary person. Then, on a snowy night, he found an immortal, and his life took a turn.
He had thought the world was dull and mediocre, but the immortal showed him the unknown and the mysterious, shattering his worldview.
The immortal was handsome and refined, with the bearing of a banished celestial. He was fabulously wealthy and overwhelmingly powerful. Liang Ci saw demons wag their tails at him and noble families treat him with respectful deference.
The boy thought fiercely, You see? I could have put up with an ordinary life if I had never glimpsed the world's unknown.
So his eyes flickered with light and shadow. He lowered his lashes, wore a sweet, gentle smile, and clung to the immortal's side, facing with him the world's strange twists and turns and the disasters brought by strange beasts.
He watched coldly as the immortal, whose aloofness had once been hidden behind a polite, gentle mask, gradually descended into the mortal world and experienced joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness for his sake.
Until they slept beside each other, weathered hardships together, and grew intimate. Every demon and strange beast knew how deep their feelings were.
But
Liang Ci finally sat on the divine throne that had once belonged to the immortal. A faint, cool smile touched his lips. "Do you understand now? I don't love you. I only wanted to use you as a stepping stone on my path to immortality."
The immortal kissed his hair. "As you wish."
Liang Ci had only meant to use him as a stepping stone to cultivate immortality. He never expected to step straight to the summit of the Dao.
"I thought for a long time about what I wanted to pursue, about what made me who I am.
At first, I drifted through life in a daze, going wherever the current took me. Then I met a god on a snowy night. Then I saw demons and monsters that defied all reason, and I suddenly understood.
I want to live as long as the mountains. I want to leave the mortal world behind. I refuse to go along with mediocrity."
"I want immortality."
"I'll cultivate the immortal path, the demonic path, the monster path, whatever. I don't care if I turn into a monster in the end. I hate those damned stories about heroes growing old, beauties turning to bones, and old steeds still longing to gallop. I'd rather they all die at the height of their glory."
"This is my Dao. I'm willing to do anything for it, and I'll stop at nothing." For the first time, the boy showed his true face. Flames burned in his calm eyes.
One day, when Qi Yi kissed Liang Ci for the first time, he carefully savored the experience and felt nothing. Frowning in confusion, he asked with an innocent look, "There's nothing special about it. Why do people like doing this?"
Later, he held the boy's head in place and traced the shape of his lips with his tongue, his heart pounding. When the long kiss ended, he toyed with Liang Ci's hair and smiled playfully. "I was wrong. I never knew there could be so many flavors."
An overwhelmingly powerful, very old immortal gong x a cold, fearless shou with a special constitution?
The setting includes demons, monsters, and gods, and borrows from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with some original additions. The world is fictional, and I made up all the history, so don't take it seriously!
I'm a sweet-romance author, so there probably won't be much angst! I'm new, so please give me lots of praise. Feel free to point out any plot holes, but please be gentle with the criticism!
If you happened upon this, please add it to your library!
