The Lazy Fish Ran Away After Provoking the Villain

[Sorry, updates are on pause for now. I'll keep practicing my writing before I continue.] [Beloved, laid-back, stunning immortal lord bottom VS powerful, tragic, unhinged, love-obsessed demon king top] Blurb: Feng Zhenyue was born into the cultivation world and only wanted to take it easy. But on his first trip down the mountain, he found a pitiful child who was unloved by his parents and bullied by everyone. After raising the child, Feng Zhenyue irresponsibly ran off. Years later, the System suddenly appeared and told Feng Zhenyue that this world was a badly written novel with no ending. System: "You have to help the male lead reclaim his fortune and defeat the villain, Xie Wudu." Feng Zhenyue: "?" Defeat who? When they met again, the pitiful child had become the brutal new young lord of the Demon Realm, searching everywhere for a rogue cultivator named "Wuchen." They said he planned to grind the traitor who'd betrayed him to dust. Everyone in the cultivation world was on edge. Only Feng Zhenyue was relieved: Good thing he'd used a fake name and face when he went down the mountain. But even though Feng Zhenyue followed the plot to the letter and did his best to keep his secret identity hidden, Xie Wudu's gaze at him grew increasingly strange. "Immortal Lord, are you sure you don't know Wuchen?" Feng Zhenyue denied it flatly. "I don't know him. Never heard of him." The great demon king feared by everyone in the cultivation world slowly approached. "Is that so..." Feng Zhenyue's scalp prickled. There was no choice. He had to run. During the battle between the immortals and demons, that treasured, laid-back disciple of the Heavenly Sect died, his dao extinguished. On the same day, Xie Wudu, the already unhinged young lord of the Demon Realm, completely lost his mind. After faking his death and running away, Feng Zhenyue enjoyed three hundred carefree years. Then one day, the great villain cornered him at his door. Xie Wudu stared at him with his mismatched eyes and enunciated every word: "Feng. Zhen. Yue." "Or should I call you Wuchen?" Feng Zhenyue's eyes went wide in shock. ...Wait! The script never said the villain would come after me for revenge! Xie Wudu caught Feng Zhenyue as he tried to turn and run, dragged him back by the waist, and tied him to the bed. Looking at the dagger in Xie Wudu's hand, Feng Zhenyue stood defiantly. "Kill me or butcher me, do as you like." Feng Zhenyue thought this was the day he would die. But Xie Wudu didn't cut the tendons in his hands and feet. He only opened Feng Zhenyue's collar. Feng Zhenyue: ? As Feng Zhenyue watched in terror, Xie Wudu leaned down and bit his collarbone, possessive and unhinged. "I should have known I could never warm your heart. I should have locked you by my side back then." From now on, your eyes can only look at me, your hands can only touch me, and for the rest of your life... you'll never leave this bed. Feng Zhenyue: ??? H-Help!!!! The good news: the villain isn't destroying the world anymore. The bad news: he's taking all that energy out on me. One day, covered in marks and unable to take it anymore, Feng Zhenyue finally fought back. Even a laid-back man's life matters. Keep frying him and he'll break. #Wait, when did you go from being all about your career to being love-obsessed? #An unhinged romantic who wakes up every day thinking about finding his beautiful wife. Note: 1. The bottom is laid-back but not weak, a beautiful man and everyone's beloved treasure. He's the biggest golden finger in the whole story. 2. The top is genuinely powerful and genuinely unhinged. He's crazy at first, and even crazier later. 3. Although this is a fake-death-and-secret-identity story, it's not a melodramatic angst fest. 4. The couple is committed to each other, one-on-one, and each other's one and only. Happy ending. Please check out my upcoming story, "Your Husband Doesn't Mind, Right?" You can find it in my author profile. Blurb: After a drunken one-night stand, Pei Mian and Shang Lingxiu got married. It was a marriage of convenience, with no love involved. After years of marriage, the two were more distant and formal than roommates. Even when they fulfilled their marital duties, they used the same position every time and stayed as silent as if completing a task. Everyone was betting on when they'd divorce: Their friends privately ran a betting pool on the date. The media had already prepared articles about their marriage of convenience falling apart. Even the Pei and Shang families had no faith in the marriage... This was the exact opposite of the married life Pei Mian wanted, so he decided to get a divorce. The day before the divorce, Shang Lingxiu was injured in an accident and hospitalized. Pei Mian rushed to the hospital. The first thing Shang Lingxiu did when he saw him in bed was ask, with a serious expression: "Hello. May I pursue you?" Thinking Shang Lingxiu was joking, Pei Mian said, "Sorry, I'm married." Pei Mian took him home. A hint of hesitation flashed across Shang Lingxiu's eyes. "I'm coming home with you. Your husband won't mind, will he?" Pei Mian: ? Only then did Pei Mian realize that Shang Lingxiu had lost his memory. His memories stopped before their marriage of convenience. Pei Mian explained the truth about their marriage. Shang Lingxiu thought it over for a moment, then calmly said: "From what I know about myself, I would never agree to a marriage of convenience." Pei Mian, who had thought he could get divorced right away and search for true love: ...? Pei Mian was troubled. After losing his memory, Shang Lingxiu believed they had married for love, and treated him differently than before. To help Shang Lingxiu recover as soon as possible so they could divorce, Pei Mian had no choice but to play along. So: The goodnight kiss that used to land on his forehead and end in an instant now lasted half an hour. Their once-a-fortnight sex life became a daily occurrence, with new things added to the mix. They had to sleep in each other's arms, sit close together at meals, pick each other up from work, and show off their affection in front of friends... After losing his memory, Shang Lingxiu remembered all of Pei Mian's likes and dislikes, and was considerate in every way. He was becoming more and more like the ideal partner in Pei Mian's heart. As they spent more time together, Pei Mian no longer wanted a divorce. He began to grow attached to the false but cozy home Shang Lingxiu had given him. Pei Mian even started to fear that Shang Lingxiu would turn back into the distant, polite husband he'd been before. Until one day, afterward, he accidentally saw Shang Lingchao's search history: - How to grow closer as a married couple? - What should I do if my wife wants a divorce? - What should I do if I took advantage of my wife while I had amnesia? - Can I pretend to still have amnesia after I recover my memories and fool my wife? Pei Mian: ??? Shang Lingxiu had finally married the person he had a secret crush on. Even though it was a loveless marriage of convenience, he didn't want a divorce. To avoid one, he came up with a brilliant plan. #The whole city is waiting for us to divorce, but we're flaunting our passionate romance# Theme: Looking back at where I've been, I return.
