Yuzuru Hanyu: Figure Skating Born to Skate

April 9: Fixed a character-name inconsistency, no plot changes

An idea inspired by the period around the Olympics

A figure-skating champion who can't dress in a kimono x a shy restoration expert who wears hanfu

A soft, adorable puppy on the outside but a domineering, fussing dad-type boyfriend underneath x a seductive beauty on the outside but an innocent, childish foodie underneath

Content warnings: 1. The female lead is terrible at sports and knows nothing about figure skating before meeting the male lead!

2. The female lead is gentle and not assertive

3. There are morally questionable supporting characters

Upcoming story: I'll Teach the Demon Cultivator to Date

The senior brother and sister from the Heavenly Buddha Sect are an exceptionally talented sword duo. The golden boy and jade girl draw countless admiring eyes.

Xin Ying, the Hehuan Sect's leading disciple, is in love with that senior brother, just like every other female cultivator.

The deranged demon cultivator who plans to kill her as a sacrifice is in love with that junior sister, just like every other male cultivator.

On the brink of death, Xin Ying jolts upright, struck by inspiration.

She suggests to Yin Ling, "How about... I become your dating coach?"

She'll teach Yin Ling how to win over the one he loves within a year, in exchange for being allowed to live.

The demon cultivator, covered in blood and holding a sword to her throat, falls silent, then curls his lip and corrects her. "No. At most, you'll live for a year."

Under immense pressure, Xin Ying begins her dating lessons every night, imparting all her skills.

She prays every day that they'll fall in love at first sight and stay devoted to each other forever, that they'll have a long and happy life together. She can hardly wait to shove them into a couple pairing.

Heaven must have heard her prayers. That peerlessly elegant junior sister finally falls into love's trap.

Xin Ying dances with joy. Without even realizing it, she also flirts her way into getting that senior brother to agree to travel with her.

Unexpectedly, the two are stopped halfway by Yin Ling, the newly appointed Demon Lord.

He ties Xin Ying to the headboard. When she angrily questions him, he laughs in exasperation and grips her chin with his fingertips.

"Yingying, you still haven't taught me how to consummate a marriage."

Rumor has it the Demon Lord forcibly took the Hehuan Sect's eldest disciple and keeps her by his side day and night to hold his demonic energy in check and prevent him from going on a killing spree.

The disciple offers herself to tame the beast and is praised for her noble self-sacrifice. Even the Hehuan Sect's reputation improves as a result.

Faced with the strange looks from her sect sisters, Xin Ying is on the verge of tears.

Help! This Demon Lord is such a jerk! He's clearly better at this than I am!

A fake know-it-all, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, a seductive demoness x a fake innocent, sharp-tongued but honest, ruthless demon

Theme: Perseverance and resilience, striving without end
