After Raising a Child, I Became the Moonlight of Three Powerful Men

On the very day the God of Fuyou is about to succeed the throne as Emperor of the Three Realms, he transmigrates. And he transmigrates three times!

The first time, he transmigrates into the human realm as the Crown Prince's tutor in the Great Yuan Kingdom. A cool and self-possessed teacher who keeps a strict classroom, he willingly takes an arrow meant for the Crown Prince and dies when an assassin fires a poisoned arrow!

History records that the Crown Prince's hair turned white overnight. He devoted himself to alchemy, spending the rest of his life practicing in the hope of meeting his teacher again in another life.

The second time, he transmigrates into a foster father to the Ghost King's unloved illegitimate son. He devotes himself to caring for the poor, bullied child, raising him into a fearsome demon lord. But just as the demon lord returns to the Ghost Realm and is about to ascend the throne, the royal family, who have long despised him, brutally kill him!

Rumors in the Ghost Realm say that after the Ghost King returned, he slaughtered all three thousand members of the royal family and never married, all to honor the one white moonlight in his heart.

The third time, he transmigrates into a beautiful, noble peacock in the Ninth Heaven of the Buddhist Realm. He incubates an egg in the Holy Lotus Sanctuary, tirelessly brooding over it day and night for ten whole years. At last, the Buddhist child hatches and shines across the Buddhist Realm, but the peacock closes his eyes, utterly drained from the effort.

People say that when the Buddhist child was born, he saw the peacock weeping blood and nearly transformed into an asura. For the rest of his life, he bitterly longed to see the peacock just once more.

The fourth time... at last, he completes his trials and returns to the Heavenly Realm!

This is the frustrating story of someone who devoted himself to raising children and diligently guiding them through three lifetimes, only for things to end badly every time.

Fuyou: ...

I'm not raising any kids in this life. :)

But just as the God of Fuyou takes the throne as Emperor of the Three Realms, all three kids show up at his door!

The Crown Prince, his silver hair cascading like a waterfall: "Teacher, I have lived as you wished. I governed diligently, cared for my people, and became a good emperor. I wrote books about you, and Heaven took pity on me, allowing me to ascend to immortality after death. I wish to stay by your side for all eternity!"

The Ghost King, eyes blood-red and face crazed: "Father, I've killed everyone who bullied and humiliated you back then. I'll offer you the whole Ghost Realm as a betrothal gift. All I ask is that you come back with me!"

The Buddhist child smiles faintly, his gaze compassionate yet desolate: "Peacock, you once said the Buddha's teachings are boundless, but I remained lost in delusion. If I can't be with you, I'll turn into an asura and fall into the Avici Hell, never to be reborn!"

The human Crown Prince, the Ghost Realm's Demon King, and the Buddhist child speak in unison: "Teacher/Father/Peacock, who will you choose?!"

Fuyou: ...

#Somebody save me, what kind of romantic rivalry is this? I was wrong, really, really wrong. I'll apologize to all three of you, okay?#

#Your Majesty, come save me!#

#Oh, wait, I forgot I'm the new Emperor#

#What did I do wrong by kindly raising a kid?#

The many officials watching the romantic rivalry unfold in the great hall can't help but sigh: "Being charming really is a sin!"

Emperor Fuyou: Heh. :)
