Jiang Ce, the exceptionally powerful and utterly wicked demon lord of the cultivation world, failed his tribulation one day. Time turned back, and he became Jiang Wenzhi, who had nothing and was utterly unknown two hundred years earlier.
The ambitious demon lord was just about to search for the supreme cultivation manual and gather his old followers when he opened the door and found Xie Fengtang, the senior disciple of the immortal sect, leader of the righteous factions in the cultivation world, standing outside.
Jiang Wenzhi: "..."
So what was the point of being reborn?
The handsome, refined man in white, tall and graceful, smiled and held out a hand to the frail youth inside the door. "Welcome, little junior brother."
Jiang Wenzhi: "???"
The demon lord Jiang Wenzhi, who was more or less forced to go along, had thought he was in for a thousand years of imprisonment. Who could have guessed that after climbing the Heavenly Stairway, he would instead be greeted with the concern of his fellow disciples?
"Little junior brother has had such a hard life. His parents don't love him, and I heard he only gets meat once a month."
"Really? I heard he only gets to bathe once every three years."
Jiang Wenzhi: "..."
Why would you believe such ridiculous rumors?
Tired of the headache-inducing, pitying looks from his fellow disciples everywhere he went, Jiang Wenzhi eventually chose to hide out in the quiet, steady senior brother Xie Fengtang's cave abode.
And so, the rumors gradually changed.
"Have you heard? Little junior brother has a crush on Senior Brother Xie."
"What are you talking about? The two of them have already become cultivation partners!"
Little bonus scene:
Later, the demon lord, now a cultivation partner and a reformed man, discovered that every rumor about him since his rebirth had originated with his own cultivation partner.
Xie Fengtang: "Honey, let me explain."
Jiang Wenzhi: "..."
You're so done :)

After Failing to Marry the Princess, I Became the Crown Princess
Shen Zhixing had just taken up his new post when his first assignment was to accompany the army to the border and welcome the Crown Prince and Princess, who had been hostages for twelve years.
The siblings were twins born to the late empress. Ever since Chu lost to Later Shu eleven years ago, they had been humiliatingly sent to the enemy state as hostages, where they endured endless torment.
The journey home was fraught with danger. Along the way, Shen Zhixing never saw the sickly Crown Prince Xiahou Ji, who was said to be ill, but he found himself drawn to Princess Xiahou Jing, who had remained silent throughout the trip.
Fortunately, the princess seemed to return his feelings. The two grew deeply attached and made a vow to each other.
Before Shen Zhixing could ask his father to request the emperor's permission for the marriage, he finally met the Crown Prince, who had claimed to be sick the entire journey.
The Crown Prince had the exact same beautiful face as the princess. He recited, word for word, the vow Shen Zhixing had made with her.
After his surprise wore off, Shen Zhixing leaned forward with a smile. "Since you know about it, dear brother, I'll be counting on you to help with my marriage to the princess."
Xiahou Ji, who had been waiting to surprise his beloved: "..."
He smiled coldly, his face dark. "The princess is delicate. How old are you now?"
"If you think you're marrying the princess, think again."
Before meeting Shen Zhixing, Xiahou Ji thought being forced to dress as a woman was the greatest humiliation of his life.
After meeting Shen Zhixing, he swallowed his pride and put on a skirt again, doing what he had always despised: seducing him.
A slow-witted bottom who thinks he's straight vs. a bad-tempered top who cross-dresses
Theme: No matter what adversity you face, never give up the courage to struggle and move forward.
It feels like the ending was in vain... It's such a hasty ending... It feels like it's been following the outline since five years later. It's too fast. There's no process for improving the protagonist's cultivation. It's just a double break + heaven's cultivation, and he rushes to deal with the villain. There's nothing. The process is reasonable but the content is missing. After reading it, I just want to say "That's it?"
Just, it's over? There are so many things that have no ending. From the moment the two cheated and upgraded, the whole article started to press the accelerator button, and everything ended unexpectedly. At least write a few extras to supplement the storyline. And should the author take the time to revise the article? There are really many typos.
The ending sucks. Is the climax just one chapter? It's been a long time since I've read a story that made me feel so uncomfortable. It barely started high and ended low, a lot of foreshadowing was not explained, the characters were not fleshed out enough, they appeared and disappeared inexplicably, the background was unclear, and there was no sense of connection between past and present lives. The ending was really uncomfortable to watch.
The first part was pretty good, but the end of it is so bad. It's so uncomfortable. . . . . . . .
That's it? That's it? Why don't you kiss his grandma hard? Why don't you do it hard! Put a barrier on me and make me sleepy.
Gone? Gone?? It's over???

Uh, where's that cheap Fu Li??? At once????
??? Can Jiang Bao get pregnant???
Suddenly I discovered that the names of the two siblings, Si Zhu and Wenzhi, are very poetic.
