Since I Became the Demon Lord, I Should Love Myself

+++ Qin Zheng’s life was like a wild weed growing in the dirt. From the moment he was born into this world, he grew unchecked.

Though his world was always filled with bloodshed, sometimes he would wonder if someone might come from another world, just like the stories in the cultivation world’s tales, and offer him a little kindness.

He didn’t need much. Just a little would be enough.

Because with just a little, he could tell himself that there was still meaning in this world.

But sadly, he waited his whole life.

From a lowly half-demon to a Demon Venerable who shook the cultivation world, he waited and waited, but no one ever came.

During Qin Zheng’s long life, the pathetic and ridiculous obsession in his heart finally faded away. That day, under the horrified gazes of the people of the cultivation world, his cultivation reached its peak. He pointed his sword at the Heavenly Dao and spent all his power tearing open a tunnel through time…

Defy reincarnation. Sever the Heavenly Dao.

Qin Zheng exhausted everything he had and returned from the present to the past, finally meeting his former self.

+ He said, “From now on, I will love you.”

++ Reading guide: 1. Self-pursuit, self-romance. The one in the blurb is the shou; the one he raises is the gong.

+++++++++ 2. The dynamic is roughly a crazy shou versus a crazy gong.

++++++++++ 3. A short writing exercise, not serialized for profit, probably only a few tens of thousands of words.

Theme: Instead of begging others to love you, love yourself properly
