A Lone Wing Through Seasons of Cold and Heat

-- Upcoming story: "The Ghost Princess Unearthed Today" --

[Blurb]

After eighteen years of arduous cultivation, A Man ascends to immortality, only to get bumped into by a mysterious person. He stares in confusion. What a nerve, having such a big face and not even apologizing!

By a twist of fate, when he runs into the mysterious person again, they're in a bathhouse! And the mysterious person turns out to be the Imperial Preceptor of the very nation he is destined to destroy. Alas, he suddenly realizes that he has walked right into a trap, like a rabbit waiting to be caught or a turtle trapped in a jar.

The demon race runs rampant. To save the people, A Man and the mysterious Imperial Preceptor San Lang set out and rescue the towns of Sanqiu and Wanmò one after the other.

The Celestial Emperor: You know you've broken the rules, right? Immortals aren't allowed to interfere in mortal affairs.

A Man, who is always getting into trouble: ...So how many strokes this time?

After so many misdeeds, his Immortal Realm Trial Pass expires. A Man, who has found himself in the role of crown prince, is once more spectacularly cast down into the mortal realm.

He governs with thrift and diligence, loves his people like his own children, and personally enters into a marriage alliance to foster diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The new emperor of Qi, a man of great distinction, wears a red wedding robe and is married off to the nameless Imperial Preceptor of neighboring Lang, with the whole kingdom dressed in red.

The people of Qi are deeply moved. Their emperor has sacrificed himself by marrying a man for the sake of national stability. What an emperor for the ages!

"You're the Imperial Preceptor, and I'm the crown prince. If our countries form a marriage alliance and remain on friendly terms for generations, there won't be any more wars. What do you say?"

"Sounds good." Young Master Lang nods in agreement.

"What do you think of my cousin? She's a fine match for the emperor of Lang, isn't she?"

"You would do just fine," Young Master Lang replies.

"What? I'm a match for the emperor of Lang?" A Man frowns. What on earth?

Young Master Lang's gaze is inscrutable. When he doesn't say anything for a long while, A Man turns to leave.

Suddenly, A Man is pulled into a warm embrace. Three low, lingering words brush his ear: "You're a match for me."

A Man: ...I never thought the cheesy lines would come out here!

[Summary] A little tale about A Man, a troublemaking immortal who has only just ascended and is running amok, and San Lang, a taciturn Imperial Preceptor devoted to his country and people. It's not a long story. I'm happy to have all you readers join them on their journey, one step at a time.

Clumsy troublemaking bottom x domineering, taciturn beauty top

Their love is a slow burn.

[Blurb for an upcoming story]

Ye Xiange, a Ghost King who has been asleep for a thousand years, never expected to wake up and get tangled up with Qi Shuyun, a descendant of the mystical arts. Qi Shuyun is good in every way: no cultivation skills, but plenty of money. The only problem is that his goofy personality makes him rather noisy. She has grown used to being alone, and finds it hard to accept him at first.

But there isn't much choice. Qi Shuyun takes care of all her basic needs, draws talismans and arrays, and, besides, being near him helps her recover her cultivation. Thinking it over, she decides there isn't much she can't accept.

*

Qi Shuyun is the sole descendant of the Feishan Sect, a mystical sect whose lineage was bound by a restriction to guard the Ghost Realm. His father, grandfather, and every ancestor before him died before the age of thirty. He's now twenty-three, and he can count his remaining years on his fingers.

One day, he accidentally awakens Ye Xiange, the Ghost King who has slept for a thousand years. She tells him, "Stay by my side. Once I've regained my strength, I can remove your restriction."

Qi Shuyun, who never thought the restriction could be lifted: !!!

From then on, Ye Xiange is showered with attention day after day. She can't stay in strong sunlight, so someone holds an umbrella for her. She can't eat food that's too hot, so someone blows on it to cool it down. Qi Shuyun even piles all kinds of amazing inventions into her hands.

Qi Shuyun lifts his chin proudly, fighting for his own life!

Later, Qi Shuyun is able to cultivate, and he does so incredibly fast.

Ye Xiange: It's fine. Even if he can cultivate, he can't take me in.

Qi Shuyun ends up penniless, with nothing but bare walls, and is scorned by the other mystical sects.

Ye Xiange: It's fine. I don't need to eat, so I won't cost much.

After recovering her strength, she finds a way to remove Qi Shuyun's restriction, thinking that after this, the two of them will never meet again.

But Qi Shuyun stays by her side anyway. She can't hide from him or drive him away.

"I'm going back to the Ghost Realm. Are you still coming with me?"

Qi Shuyun's eyes dart about, his face suspiciously red. "I'm going to inspect the place I'm responsible for guarding. It's on my way!"

A little ghost beside him quickly says, "Ghost King, it's on my way too!"

Qi Shuyun turns around and uses a magic tool to capture the ghost. Get lost! Stop third-wheeling!

A red-robed Ghost King who's decisive, ruthless, and vengeful VS a goofy, tsundere descendant of the mystical arts who gets jealous easily

Theme: One person is a lone tree, but two make a crowd. Face hardship together and rise to the challenge
