My Dao Companion Wants to Make Our Contract Official

* Xie Changshan never would have imagined that he, a thoroughly straight man, would transmigrate into a book and end up in a melodramatic danmei novel. In the book, he was an arrogant, good-for-nothing young master who had long coveted the aloof and noble Immortal Venerable, a man revered above all others. After repeated failed attempts to win him over, Xie Changshan grew desperate, schemed to abduct him, and forced him into marriage. In the end, he met a gruesome death. Xie Changshan couldn't help grinning like a smug Dragon King. He was straight, so there was no way he'd like men. He was going to survive! ...He was doomed. By the time Xie Changshan arrived, the contract was already sealed. The ink on their newly signed partner covenant was still wet, and it gleamed so brightly it made his head ache. To break the awkward silence, Xie Changshan tried to find something to talk about. "Um, those rabbit ears of yours are pretty distinctive." The Immortal Venerable, who had been forced into marriage and repeatedly humiliated, was pure and radiant as a celestial being. In an instant, demonic energy surged around him. The snow-white rabbit ears atop his head vanished, replaced by a huge snake tail gleaming with icy light. Killing intent twisted toward Xie Changshan. But Xie Changshan just let out a shriek and reached out to pet it wildly. He nearly dropped to his knees before the Immortal Venerable on the spot. "Bro, we're definitely friends now!" * Something went wrong when Xie Changshan transmigrated into the book. He could see other people's souls, and everyone appeared to him with animal ears and tails. He was the only one who could see them. Of course, having one's soul exposed was tantamount to exposing one's weakness. It could only make others wary and fearful. Wen Ci was an exception. No one knew when the holy Immortal Venerable had fallen to demonic corruption, or why he had chosen that good-for-nothing young master. Yet every night, Wen Ci would drop his disguise and let the young master hold his so-called snake tail, covered in demonic energy, while soothing the pain and wounds caused by the backlash of his corruption. They had an agreement: they would use each other and leave each other alone. Until Wen Ci discovered the young master reaching out to someone else. Furious, Wen Ci threw him onto the bed and pressed him step by step. "Am I not enough for you? Or are their souls prettier than mine?" Xie Changshan was stunned and tried to remember. "Th-then, should I start with your rabbit ears?" A seemingly aloof Immortal Venerable who secretly fell to demonic corruption, a crazy and insanely jealous lover X a steel-straight man who adored giant snakes and was also a fan of fluffy things [Synopsis captured on 2022.4.7] Theme: Break free from conventional thinking
