I Sat on My Archenemy's Coffin Lid

[Younger man, master-disciple romance, love and hate]

You are the highest-ranking immortal in the celestial realm, governing all living things and keeping the peace in your domain. You are destined to be revered by mortals and worshipped by all beings.

But I am nothing more than a wisp of inner demon you cast aside when you overcame your tribulation and ascended to heaven. I am destined to spend my life locked away in a dark cell, never seeing daylight.

For thousands of years,

you have been a radiant cloud in the heavens, while I have been stinking mud beneath the earth.

I often hoped that one day you would fall from the clouds and sink to the depths.

Then the day came when the gods and demons went to war, and my wish finally came true.

Your body and spirit were destroyed, your soul scattered.

Freed from my restraints, I returned in triumph.

I took over your immortal palace and trampled on your grave.

In less than a hundred years, I became the great demon feared by everyone in both realms.

I thought I would enjoy this carefree life,

but without the immortal's restraints on my magic, day and night,

I suddenly felt that something was missing.

So I seized Siming and asked whether the immortal could be reincarnated.

Trembling, he shrank his neck and pointed to a name in the celestial register.

It turned out that in this life, the immortal had become an ordinary person who had just begun the path of cultivation.

Now you are powerless to even harm a chicken,

while I can cover the sky with one hand.

This time,

I will repay you properly for locking me away for a thousand years!

You want to attain the Dao and become an immortal, so I'll help you become a demon.

You want to be free of worldly desires, so I'll tempt you into the depths of them.

Everything you want, I'll destroy it all.

But in the end, you say the thing you want most... is me?

Reader Notes:

★ A paranoid, gloomy inner demon bottom x a cold, ascetic immortal top

★ The blurb is in first person; the story is in third person

★ In his previous life, the top killed his wife to attain the Dao; in his next life, he will face punishment

★ The bottom is bent on revenge and wants the top to experience the same torment he once suffered

★ I want to let loose and write some melodrama, so they'll hate each other before they fall in love

★ They are each other's only love, and the story includes an identity-reveal plotline. Happy ending

★ I'll try to finish the whole story before publishing

★ I haven't thought of other potential triggers yet; I'll add them later. For now, please give it a bookmark!

Theme: In this life, I want to be a good person.
