The Immortal Lord I Led On Is a Hopeless Romantic

[A failed comeback attempt. Please don't read this, please don't. I forgot how to write while working on it. All my other old and new stories are better, qwq]

[Coming soon: My Husband Fell into Demonic Cultivation After I Died. Please, please, please add it to your collection~]

[A love cheat of a heroine who pretends to be a sweet girl × a love-struck hero who goes from an elegant, untainted immortal to a madman in love]

Qing Ye is the daughter of the Demon Lord. After losing all her cultivation in the turmoil that broke out in the demon realm, she flees to the immortal realm, where she happens upon Immortal Lord Zhong Ning, who is traveling the world.

Zhong Ning, the holy son of Wugou Sect, has been in seclusion for years. He is as cold as snow, untouched by worldly concerns.

Qing Ye pretends to be a pitiful orphan with no one to rely on, and with a few little tricks, she wins his trust.

She follows Zhong Ning back to Wugou Sect and earns the protection of its holy son.

Zhong Ning slays demons without the slightest mercy, yet he alone treats her with tenderness, caring about her in every way.

He personally teaches Qing Ye swordplay and indulges her when she disrupts the peace of his library or tugs on his sleeve to chatter away.

He even risks injury to find spirit herbs that can restore her cultivation.

The holy son saves all living beings, and naturally, he saves her too.

-

Yet one day, her identity is exposed. The immortal sects hunt Qing Ye down, and once again, she takes advantage of Zhong Ning.

She holds the wounded immortal lord hostage and forces the immortals to retreat.

The once exalted leader of the immortal realm is bound to a bed by a mere demon, left with no choice but to open his mouth and drink the medicine she feeds him, while she does whatever she pleases.

For the first time in front of Zhong Ning, Qing Ye reveals her true self.

She is not the helpless, frail mortal orphan she pretended to be. She is a cunning demon princess who came specifically to exploit his compassion and kindness.

At last, the two face each other on the Demon-Slaying Platform.

Qing Ye casts aside the soft sword he gave her and leaps away.

She leaves the world behind, faking her death and going into hiding.

She thinks he must hate her.

-

Qing Ye awakens from a long dream, and the world has changed.

Everyone is talking about how Wugou Sect's holy son, Zhong Ning, has defied everyone's wishes and searched all six realms for someone.

People assume he is merely searching for his enemy, the demoness who once deceived him, so he can avenge the humiliation she brought him.

But no one knows what happened on the night he reunited with Qing Ye...

Zhong Ning gazes at her. The compassion falls away from his jade-like face, as immaculate as a bodhi tree, replaced by an intense, possessive fixation. His once-cold eyes, in which nothing could leave an impression, are now filled with Qing Ye's reflection.

He kisses her by the ear again and again, whispering in a restrained voice:

"If you were going to deceive me, why didn't you keep going?"

It is then that they see it: beneath Zhong Ning's clothes, the small red mark on his arm, a symbol of the holy son's chastity, has completely disappeared.

From then on, the immortal lord bows his head, ensnared by a demon.

A romance-focused story.

The heroine is rather coldhearted at first. In the middle and later parts, they both pursue and heal each other, though the hero does more of the healing~

The hero has a bit of a motherly side, w.

Whether the heroine is human or demon, the hero loves her.

--------- Coming soon: My Husband Fell into Demonic Cultivation After I Died --------

Five hundred years after Yu Wei died, she is reborn. Luckily, her husband from her previous life finds her and takes her home, where he lovingly and attentively cares for her.

Five hundred years have passed, but Xie Chengyun, the Qifeng Sword Immortal, has not aged. Only a few strands of white now mingle with his black hair.

His temperament, however, seems quite different.

The Xie Chengyun of the past was aloof and otherworldly, proud and reserved, and treated her with mutual respect but little affection.

Now, however, he is anxious and insecure, unwilling to leave her side for even a moment. His eyes are filled with undisguised possessiveness, and even in his dreams, he holds her tight and begs for kisses.

This change is all well and good, but... Yu Wei can't help feeling that something is off.

Xie Chengyun no longer lives at the sect. Instead, he has built her a secluded mountain home like a paradise, where they are together day and night, though he never takes her off the mountain.

When they share a bed, he never agrees to take off all his clothes. Yu Wei accidentally touches his back and finds it covered in countless scars.

When she wakes in the middle of the night, she sometimes sees him gazing at her strangely, silently shedding tears, his eyes burning with sorrow, as if she might vanish at any moment.

Yu Wei can't help wondering if their closeness has gone a little too far, but Xie Chengyun gathers her into his arms, his eyes turning a pitiful shade of red. "Weiwei, don't you like being close to me anymore?"

She can't resist her beloved when he acts so vulnerable, so she puts her worries aside.

Until one day, when a wandering cultivator gets lost and runs into trouble at the foot of the mountain, Yu Wei eagerly rushes to help.

But her outstretched arm passes straight through the other person's chest.

It turns out Xie Chengyun has never told her the truth:

She is a ghost that only he can see.

From the wandering cultivators' conversation, she learns that this is a mountain of the dead. The one living here is not the once-radiant Sword Immortal, but... a mysterious Demon Lord who has been in seclusion for many years.

-

Xie Chengyun knows perfectly well that Yu Wei could live freely even without him.

Even as a ghost, she is a happy one.

But he cannot.

She is essential to his life.

Throughout five hundred years of lonely solitude, as he hovered on the brink of death countless times, he whispered her name, using it to summon the strength to take one more step toward her.

Until both body and heart fell into demonic obsession.

Later, Yu Wei returns to his side, still bright, gentle, and smiling at him with clear, sunny eyes.

But sometimes she cautiously asks, "Don't you need some time to yourself? We don't have to stay together all the time."

His wife's dependence on him has faded, replaced by a distance that pains him.

Xie Chengyun can only rely on the power of evil spirits to draw close to the girl in ghostly form, embracing her again and again, kissing the delicate blush of her ear, and rebuilding their intimacy.

Every use of this power wears down his soul and body.

Scars accumulate across his back, but he accepts them willingly.

A little closer. Touch her fingertips, her wrists, her fair collarbones, her warm dimples.

His heart trembles with every touch.

Before his wife discovers all his secrets... he must become more intimate with her.

Make her unwilling to let him go, unable to leave, unable to escape.
