I Am the Great Nine-Tailed Fox!

Synopsis:

Tu Shan Lan, a nine-tailed fox, never imagined that his wedding day would become the most disastrous identity reveal in history.

Not only does the White Emperor claim him as his in front of the Three Realms, he also forces him to write down his true name as part of their marriage vows!

It all began when, more than 1,700 years ago, he transformed into Daji and seduced King Yin Shou, flirted with the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, and stood up the Divine King Hongjun...

Tu Shan Lan: Thanks, but no. Don't spread rumors, and don't believe them. It was all just work!

When he returns after faking his death 1,700 years later, Yin Shou is dead and Hongjun has run off.

The only one left is the once-peerless Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, who has become the sinister demon lord, the White Emperor, because of him! And he's a giant white python with a thousand years of cultivation!

The giant white python may not recognize his true identity, but he still comes slithering over, hissing and asking him to be his lover???

Even stranger, for some reason, the nine-tailed fox's name has become the greatest taboo in the demon realm. The White Emperor has nailed it to the pillar of shame, and anyone who so much as touches it dies...

Tu Shan Lan: Tsk. See? That's what you call turning love into hate! I guess I flirted too hard back then...

Taishang Laojun slaps his own face with a resounding smack. Could Your Highness please have some shame and give the Heavenly Emperor back already?

Tu Shan Lan: I'll try, I'll do my best... But I'm scared of snakes, so I'm off!

White Emperor: Trying to run, Spirit Venerable? Too late!

Content warnings:

1. 1v1. A worldly, smooth-talking, adored-by-everyone nine-tailed fox shou x an abstinent, beautiful-but-tragic, jealous Heavenly Emperor gong. Shou-focused, happy ending.

2. Tu Shan Lan = Daji, Qing Ying (male version of the Green Snake), Tamamo-no-Mae, and others;

Ziwei Emperor Star = Bo Yikao, White Emperor (male version of the White Snake), Heavenly Emperor, and others. Only danmei, no yuri.

3. May include elements derived from Investiture of the Gods, Legend of the White Snake, and Onmyoji. The author is pretty casual and writes whatever comes to mind.

4. In his original form, the protagonist likes to use "this one" to refer to himself. After transforming, he says "I." Don't ask why. It's just that damn obsession of a great demon...

5. The writing style may lean old-fashioned.

One day, Shen Sanchuan, a 27-year-old office drone, transmigrates into a danmei web novel called Immortal Venerable, You Can't Escape Even If You Grow Wings. The System's mission for him is to achieve a happy ending. Otherwise, he'll be destroyed along with the world.

But damn it, the original story ended badly, and readers flamed it so hard the servers crashed! Right now, he's just joined the immortal sect. Just as he thinks he can get a happy ending by taking down the Demon Venerable, the System tells him he has to win the Demon Venerable over instead.

Shen Sanchuan raises an eyebrow. What's the difference?

[System: You can sleep with him or let him sleep with you. Once the Demon Venerable falls in love, he won't want to destroy the world.]

Shen, a straight man who's just realized his chastity might be in danger, is about to refuse three times in a row when the System tells him he'll soon get access to the world's one and only gacha feature and a super amazing estate with an inner garden!

Shen Sanchuan: Oh! Well, I guess it might not be so bad!

So, as he rolls up his sleeves to earn plot points, pull cards, and live in a mansion, a handsome man strolls up behind him with an easy smile. "Senior Brother Shen, I'm Lu Linze. I look forward to your guidance from now on."

Shen Sanchuan: This handsome guy is my roommate?

[System: ...He's not your roommate. He's your nemesis! Your destiny! The one you can't escape!]

But their everyday life as fellow disciples in the immortal sect turns into this:

Shen Sanchuan: These sect robes are so hard to put on.

Lu Linze: Let me help you get dressed, Senior Brother. You look lovely.

Shen Sanchuan: I got a minor injury and I'm bleeding.

Lu Linze: I'll get the Grand Master Venerable's sacred healing medicine and apply it for you. I absolutely won't let you scar.

Shen Sanchuan: I'm exhausted after completing the sect's mission.

Lu Linze: I'll give you a full-body massage, Senior Brother. Now I have a perfectly good excuse to cuddle up to you.

[System, unable to watch any longer: Host, don't you think something's off?]

Shen Sanchuan, who is absolutely, definitely not gay: As long as we're loving brothers in the sect, he'll never fall to demonic ways. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

[System: ...You don't know a damn thing.]

Years later, Shen Sanchuan has completely adapted to this world and become the first Immortal Venerable of the Five Peaks of Shen Peak. Just like in the original story, Lu Linze has become the most mysterious and unpredictable Demon Venerable of the Three States of Xuansha. In the original plot, on the Demon Venerable's wedding day, the male lead leads the world's immortal cultivators in an attack on his Floating Spirit Mountain. The mountain is stained with red wedding silk and crimson blood. The wedding banquet becomes a bloodbath, and the two are driven to a tragic ending after breaking apart for good!

But Shen Sanchuan has long since gotten used to ignoring the plot. The night before the wedding, he sneaks into Floating Spirit Mountain to see just what kind of person the Demon Venerable's lover is, the one said to look exactly like him...

Who could have guessed that when he enters the Demon Venerable's bedchamber, he would find that the beauty in bright red wedding robes beneath the blazing red candles is only a puppet! Realizing something is terribly wrong, he turns to run. But the Demon Venerable glides up behind him like a ghost, one hand at his waist and the other clamped around his throat. He whispers seductively in his ear, as tenderly as a lover: "Senior Brother, since you ruined my person, take his place and marry me!"

Shen Sanchuan: !

1v1 + a cool-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside righteous immortal venerable shou x a scheming, cunning, doting demon lord gong + happy ending
