※※※※※ Please add my upcoming novels "After Quitting, He Returned to the Village to Retire" and "Si Lu's Dream" to your reading list! ※※※※※

[Blurb]

Yun Zhu transmigrated to the cultivation world and became a star-crossed loner.

He only wanted one thing in this life: to eat his fill and wait to die.

Later, he embarked on the path of cultivation and met a pretty decent young man. There was just something a little off about this kid...

Yun Zhu: Is this kid planning to hang himself from my crooked tree? No need for that (just kidding).

Huo Haicheng is the number one sacred physique in Dongzhou. He met Yun Zhu when they were both nobodies, and fell for the cool and aloof Doctor Yun.

To win him over, Huo Haicheng would stop at nothing, including shamelessly singing his praises, lying through his teeth, and slowly wearing him down...

Later, Huo Haicheng helped Yun Zhu change his star-crossed fate.

He proclaimed to the world, showing everyone off: "Doctor Yun is my Dao companion."

Yun Zhu: ...You don't have to be so smug about it (just kidding).

[A sweet-toothed, seemingly innocent but secretly cunning seme x a seemingly aloof uke who is gentle at heart, says one thing and means another, and indulges his seme]

"After Quitting, He Returned to the Village to Retire"

[Blurb]

After nearly working himself to death from overtime, Wu Qingying grabbed his compensation and fled overnight. There was no way he was going back to work. He'd never work again for the rest of his life.

He'd made up his mind: life mattered more than money. Returning to the village to farm might not make him rich, but at least he could live comfortably.

His hometown had a mild climate and beautiful scenery. He could farm, raise fish, and pick fruit, then head up the mountains for mushrooms and wild vegetables when he got bored. He could go to the village entrance to snack on melon seeds and gossip with the elders, or play chess. It was an ordinary, leisurely life, perfect for a Chinese kid looking to lie flat in retirement.

He'd thought he wouldn't make much money and would be happy as long as he didn't starve. He never expected to actually make something of himself.

He spent some time each month buying fruit from local growers. In less than a year, he had bought an orchard and settled into lying flat.

He tried making videos about lying flat, and his follower count shot up.

He built a wooden cottage in the village and sold fruit and local specialties from the village, town, and county, gradually creating a stylish brand for himself and his hometown.

Of course, he couldn't forget his close friend who helped him, or the man working hard to support his lie-flat lifestyle, whose voice went all cutesy... his husband?

Now he had money and a husband. He really could retire early.

[A uke who loves youthful-sounding voices x a younger seme who puts on a cutesy voice for love]

#Wu Qingying: Looking for a husband: mature and steady, youthful and fresh voice, handsome, older than me.

#Li Chengjing: So you like youthful voices? I'll keep putting one on for the rest of my life!

#Wu Qingying: I want someone older.

#Li Chengjing: Big brother, give me a chance QAQ

"Si Lu's Dream"

Original title: "The Little Highness Will Never Bow to an Arranged Marriage"

Also known as: "O Devoted Human, Please Wait One More Lifetime" or "The Runaway Little Highness and His Very Unlucky Fiance"

[Blurb]

1.

When he grew up, Xiao Shu, a deer demon, could no longer find the human who had raised him. One day, he spotted a demon hunter who had wandered into the forest. The hunter looked a lot like his caretaker, so Xiao Shu thought he might be the man's son or something and latched onto him.

The demon hunter, Si Yu, raised Xiao Shu just as well as the first caretaker had. He cooked for him, bought him clothes, cheered him up, and protected him whenever he was in danger.

As Xiao Shu accompanied Si Yu on his demon hunts, he gradually grew used to adventuring through the world at Si Yu's side, with no sign of his first caretaker anywhere.

He thought he would spend a hundred years with Si Yu, then bear the pain of losing his beloved alone. But he died at the moment they loved each other most, leaving Si Yu to suffer instead.

As he lay dying, Si Yu held him tight and made a solemn promise: "I will find you again."

2.

When the Crown Prince of Heaven, Si Yu, descended to the mortal realm to undergo trials, he saved a deer demon named Xiao Shu. From then on, a pretty little deer who loved beauty, affection, and making a fuss was always at his side.

Then one day, his little deer disappeared. Si Yu's personality changed completely, and he turned the Three Realms upside down in a frenzy.

Rumor had it that the Crown Prince of Heaven had gone mad from cultivation. To rid him of his inner demon, the Emperor and Empress of Heaven requested a marriage alliance with the Divine Realm.

As it happened, the young highness of the Divine Realm was about to undergo a great tribulation. The Divine Emperor and Empress calculated that the key to overcoming it lay with the Crown Prince of Heaven. The two couples hit it off and sent their child to Heaven for a matchmaking meeting.

The young highness, Ji Shu, failed to refuse the marriage and had no choice but to run away, only to be caught and brought back by the Divine Realm again and again.

Si Yu, who wanted to remain chaste for his wife, was happy to see it happen. To be safe, he decided not only to help devise a plan himself, but also to send Ji Shu as far away as possible.
