A Substitute in a Tragic Romance Cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness

Original pen name: Niyu Xayah

"Former title: Don't Be the Immortal Lord's Caged Bird"

Entering V on October 30. Thank you for supporting the official release!

Mu Zhi simply loved the Immortal Lord. He sang for the one he loved, danced to court him, and built a nest with the most beautiful gems.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong, but everyone thought he had malicious intentions. They ruined his voice, dulled his feathers, and tore down his nest and burned it to ashes.

Even the Immortal Lord only wanted to take his core to save someone else.

Mu Zhi was lost and confused. He thought he had done something wrong, and that loving someone was exhausting and painful.

He didn't want to love the Immortal Lord anymore. So after lying unconscious for a hundred years with grievous injuries, he cultivated the Heartless Dao anew.

Without love, without hatred.

-

A hundred years later.

When Mu Zhi heard the Immortal Lord's name again, it stirred not a single ripple in his heart.

Even when the once aloof and coldhearted Immortal Lord knelt before him and pleaded in a hoarse voice, Mu Zhi only thought he was a little noisy.

Content warnings: 1. Old-school, melodramatic groveling arc

2. The bottom suffers first, then the top

3. If anything is wrong, it's the characters' fault. You can criticize the characters, but please don't criticize the author. If you really must, let me apologize in advance!!!

4. My previous title couldn't be used, and I couldn't think of another, so I went with this one. There's no stand-in plot to speak of, and I can't change it now.

Theme: Every feeling is sincere and deserves to be treated seriously
