The Good-for-Nothing God Awakens

Shi Qi is the publicly recognized heir to the divine clan, the noble Divine Son! Behind the scenes, however, everyone knows he's a useless member of the clan: born with a weak spiritual sense, unwilling to improve, and, thanks to his status as the Goddess's son, a spoiled rich kid who spends all day eating, drinking, and having fun!

His seemingly perfect life is finally shattered when he learns that he was born from his mother's wish for peace between gods and demons. He's the child of a god and a demon, and the person who killed his birth mother deliberately kept him away from the center of divine power.

And the unremarkable friend who's been by his side since their academy days turns out to have been wearing a false face, secretly plotting against him. He's also the new Demon King, regarded by the divine clan as their mortal enemy!

He wore a false face because he thought his real appearance was too beautiful and worried Shi Qi wouldn't be able to control himself... And he was right: when he accidentally showed his true face after drinking, Shi Qi stole a kiss. But that's still no excuse to disguise yourself as a yellow weasel!

At the final moment of his quest to avenge his mother, the Demon King tells him: “My purpose is to help you awaken, help you unite the powers of gods and demons, and ultimately devour me, becoming the one true god of this world!”

Shi Qi: ?????????!!!!!

This story has a happy ending and is told from the bottom's perspective. It spans two lifetimes. In his previous life, the bottom was devoured and remade when he was around three or four hundred years old. In this life, he's a little over a thousand years old, while the top is nearly thirteen hundred. In this setting, children born as gods only reach adulthood at around eight or nine hundred, so you can picture the bottom in this life as a young man of about nineteen or twenty.

They're each other's first love, and neither has been with anyone else~

*The top's name combines two aliases: Shi Cang + He Yan = Cang He~

This is not a traditional xianxia gods-and-demons cultivation setting. The whole setting is made up by me, and the plot came from a dream I had more than ten years ago. Please forgive any details about gods and demons that might not be theoretically accurate!

PS: Most of the divine names in the story are borrowed from Baidu Baike (note: only the names are borrowed; the characters and plot are all made up by me), such as the Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, the Black Tortoise Zhi Ming, the Gold Star of Venus Li Chang Geng, and the dream-eating Bo Qi. For some I couldn't find, or whose names didn't sound good, I just made up names myself. Please don't nitpick~

Theme: Don't let a temporary low point make you discouraged and despondent. As long as you work hard, you'll find love and success!
