Beautiful, scheming, and alluring bottom (Shen Tingni) x top who seems aloof and desireless but is actually dark and unhinged (Xie Cizhou)
Shen Tingni transmigrates into a xianxia novel as a disposable extra, good for nothing but his looks. To save his life, he must remove the seductive demon blood in his body, which can be done by dual cultivation with a sword cultivator blessed with an exceptional spiritual constitution.
He sets his sights on a young sword cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, with a cool constitution and eyes as frosty as his brows.
Shen Tingni takes over the Golden Wind and White Jade Tower, disguises himself as a courtesan, and outshines all others with his beauty. A single red fan captures every facet of the mortal world.
He kisses the boy’s icy sword, his eyes blazing and flirtatious, a bewitching smile on his lips.
He loves nothing more than staining the purest, most aloof people with his own colors.
Once he has the boy, the other man presents him with a marriage contract. The name signed at the bottom is Xie Cizhou, Xie Cizhou, the greatest swordsman in the world!
Shen Tingni: I took this too far. I need to run.
Xie Cizhou defies his sect and insists on marrying the courtesan.
During the wedding preparations, someone exposes Shen Tingni as the Sacred Son of the Southern Border’s demonic sect. More and more evidence points to his beloved.
Xie Cizhou refuses to believe it.
Until the demonic sect attacks the immortal sect. As Xie Cizhou faces the myriad demons, he sees Shen Tingni seated on a white jade lotus platform, carried by a hundred ghosts. The courtesan in brilliant red steps barefoot through the blood covering the ground and lays his folding fan against Xie Cizhou’s neck.
Only then does Xie Cizhou realize that he has fallen in love with a beautiful and heartless demon.
That battle shook the peach blossoms from the fourteen mountains of Wen Cang. Shen Tingni also died on the spot, though no one knows whether Xie Cizhou’s sword was the cause.
Afterward, Xie Cizhou cuts his way through the demonic realm and seizes Shen Tingni’s spirit tablet. Ignoring the immortal sect’s protests, he marries the tablet.
Shen Tingni successfully fakes his death, takes on a secret identity, and attaches himself to the protagonist, the arrogant hero destined for greatness. He follows him as he fights monsters and levels up, disguising himself as a sacrificial bride to capture a mountain spirit.
But the one who lifts Shen Tingni’s red veil is a familiar long sword: the very sword he once kissed, Xie Cizhou’s life-bound sword.
“If you’re tired of my love, then let’s try something else.”
Xie Cizhou appears aloof, spotless, and noble, but in truth he is dark and cruel, willing to do anything to get what he wants.
No one dares face his sword, until one day lips as vivid as pomegranate blossoms leave a mark of rouge upon it.
That man is as beautiful as poisoned wine. Xie Cizhou drinks him in, and he becomes an addiction sunk deep into his bones.
If he runs, Xie Cizhou will bring him back, clip his wings, grind down his edges, and keep him by his side day and night.
Now, even when the man has no intention of seducing him, Xie Cizhou thinks every edge of his clothes is an invitation.
P.S. This is a practice piece focused entirely on romance.
One-on-one, happy ending.
