[This story is unfinished and awaiting a rewrite. New readers are advised not to start it for now.]
[Due to some limitations in my abilities, I can't continue this story for the time being. For details, see the author's notes in Chapter 67 and my Weibo. In short, once I'm capable of handling the setting, I'll come back and rewrite the whole story. (The core premise, character concepts, and most relationships will remain unchanged.) I won't open a paid chapter subscription until the rewrite is complete.
Wishing you all a happy life. Posted 22.07.02.]
In his previous life, Lu Ciyue had no parents. He clawed his way up from the bottom alone, surviving on the edge of life and death, until he rose to become the strongest... mage in the galaxy.
After transmigrating to a parallel world, he became a good-for-nothing young master destined to be cannon fodder.
The young cannon fodder came from a prestigious family but had no talent. Crushed by the title of "Son of the God of War," he fell out with his father, severed ties with him unilaterally, and ran away from home. He devoted himself to the empire's Third Prince, whom he admired, and willingly became his servant.
But the prince used him as a tool, then tossed him aside once he was no longer useful, clearing the way for the real protagonist.
His glorious God of War father died saving him. Branded with a host of disgraceful accusations, the father closed his eyes without ever hearing his son call him "Dad" again.
The young cannon fodder watched helplessly as his family was destroyed, then died with hatred in his heart.
Lu Ciyue noticed only the words "both parents alive."
Lu Ciyue, who grew up without a father, mother, or connections, never had a home, and was so poor he had to make his own equipment: This kind of good fortune exists?
-
When Lu Ciyue transmigrated, the original owner had been living under an assumed name, away from home, for three years. He was about to take the Royal Guard's entrance exam.
At this point, only the original owner didn't know that the final place had already been reserved. He was about to be viciously face-slapped by the protagonist, and his father would witness his humiliating failure. As a result, he would resent the protagonist, take it out on his father, and declare that he was cutting ties with him.
Everyone was waiting to laugh at him.
Lu Ciyue entered the venue, looked around, then smiled slightly and pointed somewhere.
Lu Ciyue: See that handsome, dashing, charming, valiant, extraordinary, breathtakingly good-looking... I'll spare you the next five thousand words of description?
Lu Ciyue: That's my dad.
Lu Ciyue: Oh, I'm not here to take the exam. I'm just here to brag about how awesome my dad is.
Everyone: ...
-
Ever since his son proudly claimed him as his father, the taciturn, secretly vain God of War had been making eight trips a day to the research institute.
First, to ask his friend to make defensive gear for his son.
Second, to show off, show off, and show off some more.
God of War Dad: My son is so cute. Do you have one?
God of War Dad: My son really looks up to me. Do you have that?
God of War Dad: My son asked me to come back him up again today. Do you have that?
Then one day, an alien race suddenly invaded. The God of War Dad hurried over with his elite troops, only to find that his "mediocre," fragile mage son and his "delicate" research scientist friend had already joined forces to blow the entire star system into fireworks.
The God of War Dad looked at the hand his friend had wrapped around his son's waist and fell silent.
His friend smiled at him. "Your son is mine now."
God of War Dad: ???
Notes:
1. Yi Xingyi x Lu Ciyue. A mythical beast who is a master of pseudoscientific technology x a genius, fragile mage. Strong leads, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
2. Futuristic sci-fi fantasy setting, entirely fictional.
3. No romantic rivalry. A found-family style story.

Upcoming 1: "A Switching-Tops Story"
Blurb:
Ten years ago, a cataclysm struck. Mutated species invaded, and a world where spiritual qi had revived descended into chaos.
Two boys leaned on and supported each other, falling in love as they struggled to survive.
Chu Shili was gravely wounded and on the brink of death while saving Qin Jizhou. He remained unconscious for ten years. When he woke again, the world had become unfamiliar, and so had his former lover.
During the years he had missed, Qin Jizhou became a revered leader who saved the world. He had someone else by his side, had no place left for Chu Shili, and had neither the time nor the inclination to comfort or stay with him.
Chu Shili didn't fit into the new world. Clinging to a faint hope, he thought he and Qin Jizhou could still rekindle their relationship.
Until mutated creatures attacked the hospital. Barely recovered, Chu Shili was powerless to fight back and ended up a hostage while trying to save others.
Qin Jizhou rescued him. He should have been relieved, but couldn't stop himself from blurting out:
"Could you please stop holding me back?"
Chu Shili was silent for a long time. At last, he said, "Okay."
It took just three days from waking up to giving up. Then he vanished from Qin Jizhou's world for good.
Chu Shili never got the chance to tell him how, for ten years, the thought of seeing him again had kept him alive through countless brushes with death in that brutal infinite world, until he finally returned to reality.
And the only things that returned with him weren't just his abilities, but also the comrade who had truly stood by his side for ten years, through life and death.
That night, Chu Shili dragged his injured body off the hospital's upper floors and leaped into the arms of his longtime teammate waiting below.
Mu Yanshen caught him without the slightest surprise. With a soft laugh, he whispered in his ear, "Brother Li, I'm here to marry you."
With his eyes closed, Chu Shili tousled his hair and said, "Don't mess around."
Mu Yanshen smiled and said, "Just kidding."
Much later, Chu Shili realized that it hadn't been a joke
Mu Yanshen was a god-deceiver who could fool the whole world, but he would never lie to Chu Shili.
-
Qin Jizhou saw Chu Shili again during a joint mission with an independent squad.
The six-person squad took the lead while they provided support.
Chu Shili, whom Qin Jizhou had assumed the times had left behind, stood at the front of the team and said, "Get behind me."
Beneath a dazzling blaze, a horde of monsters turned to ash.
Qin Jizhou couldn't take his eyes off Chu Shili.
The mission ended without a single casualty.
Qin Jizhou approached his former lover, only to meet a cold stare.
Mu Yanshen held Chu Shili around the waist, acting intimately as if no one else were there. He looked up at Qin Jizhou, parted his lips, and silently warned him
"Mine."
Chu Shili only gave him a fond, indulgent kiss.

Theme: Abandon prejudice and cherish the people around you
I also really like the worldview and core plot of this article, so keep up the good work!
Looking forward to revising the article, the world view is too huge to write about, ww, come on
This article is really too long, so long that I forgot what I said before.
Woooooooooooooooooo I really like the characters and setting of this book, please come on
Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to revise the article.
7.1 I got the treasure, why hasn't it come yet?
I'm 30, when will I come?
It's 30, will there be one today?
Everything is about good health. Happy New Year, madam, and good health!
In fact, I think the plot is okay, but it seems that this kind of world view setting is more suitable for a larger space, and there are also some developments of different characters interspersed with the main line. Now that I see it, I can feel that the writing is a bit forced and the expression is a bit scattered, just like my wife said, it is a bit deviated from the core plot. But I'm still looking forward to finishing this book slowly. Don't be in a hurry, ma'am. Good health is the most important thing.
