My neighbor's novel, I'm Really Not the Great Demon King, is currently updating daily without fail Blurb: Shu Jingyi was struck by lightning at his graduation ceremony and sent to the cultivation world. Not only did he end up in the cultivation world, he also turned into a "fox cub." In a place where the strong rule, the cultivation world has no sympathy for tears, and the little fox cub is in a sorry state. Just when all hope seemed lost, a sword cultivator happened to take him home as a spiritual pet. The sword cultivator is so nice: gentle, powerful, and fond of brushing his fur. When enemies come looking for trouble, he even tucks the little cub into his arms and cuddles him. The only drawback is that he's terribly poor. The cub gets meat while he drinks soup. The cub gets vegetables while he... doesn't eat. It's fine. Once I turn human, I can grow spiritual fields, refine spiritual medicines, write talismans, and set up spiritual arrays to support you. There's demonic energy in the soil? Let's try soilless cultivation. The spiritual plants aren't growing well? Let's set up some cuttings. The talisman designs are lost? I know twelve ways to draw them. The spiritual arrays have deteriorated? I'll just fix them in a jiffy. What can I say? I have both modern knowledge and the inherited memories of a divine beast. How could a grateful, good divine beast let his caretaker go hungry? From the gong's point of view Rong Cheng is known in the cultivation world as the Cold-Faced Sword Immortal. In the demon realm, there's even an urban legend: "If you don't behave, Rong Cheng will come and get you." But no one knows that the mighty Sword Immortal is a total fluff fanatic. It's just that as his cultivation increases and his sword energy grows stronger, all his spiritual pets avoid him. Until one day, he finds a "little fox." Foxes are great. This fox isn't afraid of his sword energy and likes curling up in his arms. Give him something tasty, and he'll let you pinch his cheeks, pet his fur, and hold him while you sleep. He won't make a peep. Until one day, the fox cub turns into a human. "You can't pinch my cheeks anymore!" "Then can I kiss your cheeks?"

Unfortunately, he transmigrates as the "wife." Zhu Hanqing sneers. He's a perfectly straight man. How could he ever get together with another man? And the book even ends with him having a child. That's utterly ridiculous! Still, now that he's been given a second chance at life, he has to be careful. The story gets off to a rough start. The moment he opens his eyes, he's staring at a huge scarlet bed. No matter. Drawing on his memories, Zhu Hanqing does everything he can to change the plot. At last, he escapes the side of the moody, obsessive Demon Lord. The world is vast, and there are plenty of things to do. Free at last, Zhu Hanqing is happy and carefree. The elegant poet immortal writes poetry with him. The cold and aloof Dao Sage crosses swords with him. The lively and spirited demon prince shares drinks with him. But what pleases him most is meeting a true friend along the way. His friend is handsome, gentle, and easygoing. The two hit it off at once. They can talk happily about everything, from poetry and literature to the philosophy of life. They even have remarkably similar tastes in food. The two travel together across the land. Then one day, an accident occurs. To protect Zhu Hanqing, his friend suddenly turns into the Demon Lord who imprisoned him at the very beginning! Zhu Hanqing: Is it still in time to run away? It wouldn't be right to just abandon my friend like this, would it? [Thinking] * Everyone knows that the Demon Lord Feng Heng is cold and heartless. For thousands of years, no one has even seen his true face. He acted on impulse and abducted a beautiful young man from outside, keeping him by his side day and night. Everyone envied the young beauty for rising to the top overnight. But only he knew the young beauty thought of nothing but escaping. Since that's what you want, I'll let you go. If I don't let you leave, you'll never know that those people are nowhere near as good to you as I am. Coming Soon 2: A Straight Man's Thought Process Is So Strange Everyone at A University knows that the top student Lu Xing is a germaphobe, finicky, cold, and distant. Even with a face as perfect as a work of art, no one dares approach him. He even has a dorm room all to himself. Then, on the day the new students arrive, Fang Tingyu, admitted on a sports scholarship, is assigned to share a dorm room with Lu Xing for some reason. He becomes the only person who can get close to Lu Xing. When they hear the news, everyone expects Fang Tingyu to be kicked out sooner or later. Some even start betting on what day he'll be thrown out of the dorm, when someone joins the betting pool. "My entire fortune says he'll live with me for the rest of his life." - At the start of his junior year, Lu Xing gets a new roommate: Fang Tingyu. After having a dorm room to himself for two years, Lu Xing finds it very hard to adjust. Especially since his new roommate is an unshakably straight man. And this straight man has no sense of decorum, often making Lu Xing blush and lose his composure. Lu Xing tries every way he can to keep his distance, but keeps failing. Lu Xing needs to eat, and Fang Tingyu prepares his favorite food ahead of time. Lu Xing needs to go out, and Fang Tingyu checks the weather forecast down to the last detail. Lu Xing needs to study, and Fang Tingyu clears out his family's cafe so Lu Xing can have it all to himself. Straight man, straight man. Lu Xing never thought those two words could hit him like a curse and leave him completely defenseless. He knows things can't go on like this, but it's so hard to take back the feelings he had at first sight. At last, before deciding to move out, Lu Xing takes advantage of being drunk and tells Fang Tingyu about his sexuality. Lu Xing thought Fang Tingyu would avoid him, but instead Fang Tingyu becomes even more brazen. Lu Xing needs to eat, and Fang Tingyu willingly cooks for him. Lu Xing needs to go out, and Fang Tingyu volunteers to drive him, even late at night. Lu Xing needs to study, and Fang Tingyu takes him straight to his house, claiming the privacy will help him focus. Lu Xing has nowhere left to hide and speeds up his plans to move out. But the night before he moves, Fang Tingyu, the iron-straight man, pins him to the bed. "Why do you have to leave? Haven't I treated you well?" Fang Tingyu pins him beneath himself, his eyes full of hurt and disappointment. Lu Xing avoids Fang Tingyu's gaze. "This... isn't right for us." "What's not right about it? What's wrong with two men being together?" Fang Tingyu looks at Lu Xing, whose ears have turned red and whose eyes are glistening with tears, and asks as if possessed. "Why can't a straight man be with another man?" "Don't discriminate against straight men." Theme: Knowledge is wealth
