After Breaking Off My Engagement, I Became the White Moonlight of the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord

Xiao Jiayan has a verbal betrothal to his childhood nemesis. Everyone thinks the engagement is bound to fall through, because the other party is the most notorious Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years in the land.

Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years Yan Jiuqian is cruel, vicious, and bloodthirsty. In a mere month, he forced the capital to change hands.

Fortunately, neither of them takes the betrothal seriously.

Xiao Jiayan still remembers the palace drenched in blood on the day Yan Jiuqian seized power. In his eyes, the man is a complete lunatic.

But that lunatic still came for them. Amid the mingled flashes of blood and fire, an arrow flew through the air and struck Xiao Jiayan in the heart. The ridiculous verbal engagement turned to ash along with him.

Reborn, Xiao Jiayan breaks off the engagement on the spot and plans to resign from office and live in seclusion, far from trouble, hoping to avoid the fate of being pierced through the heart by Yan Jiuqian. But on the eve of his resignation, someone drugs him at a palace banquet, and he is forced to sleep with Yan Jiuqian.

Thinking the arrow through the heart from his previous life will come soon, Xiao Jiayan closes his eyes and waits to die. But Yan Jiuqian's madness improves day by day, while his possessiveness grows ever more intense.

Xiao Jiayan: I am absolutely not happy about this.jpg

The possessiveness is directed at him.

Yan Jiuqian has had a white moonlight since childhood. He can't make out the person's face or hear their voice. All he knows is that his white moonlight witnessed every humiliating moment of his life and gave him a warmth he'd never known before.

He regards his white moonlight as a god. In their presence, he hides his astonishingly intense possessiveness and his madness, pretending to be the well-behaved, kindhearted student his tutor praises.

But his white moonlight still leaves.

The night they leave, he searches for them like a madman, but finds nothing.

In the first year after they leave, he enters the imperial palace and stains a thousand miles with blood, hoping to use an entire nation to bring his white moonlight back.

But still, nothing.

One day, then two... Three years pass, and his white moonlight still hasn't appeared.

His white moonlight is gone.

His god is gone.

He goes completely mad.

Until one day, amid the flashes of blood and fire, as an arrow pierces the chest of his childhood nemesis, the white moonlight in his mind finally gains a face and a voice.

That face is exactly the same as the person beneath his arrow.

Up next: The Protagonist in My Book [Insectoid]. A writer transmigrates into his own book and tries to pull his half-corrupted protagonist back, only to go too far by accident.

Synopsis: Wen Qi first saw Gu Nan with his own eyes at an auction.

On the auction platform, Gu Nan was bound high up, with only the tips of his toes touching the floor. Bright red blood fell onto the stage, and several deep knife marks, nearly cutting through the bone, scarred the bone wings behind him that Wen Qi liked best.

In a daze, Wen Qi met those jade-green eyes.

A pearl buried in dust, his wild spirit gone. His eyes were as still as a dead pool, and he was nothing like the proud, confident domain lord Wen Qi had written. The protagonist he'd written as so carefree had been tormented by a task-taker from another world.

Transmigrated into the story, Wen Qi gritted his teeth and took out all his savings.

That day, every insect at the auction heard a voice, gentle to the extreme, ask, "Would you like to come home with me?"

Saving Gu Nan was simply a decision of the heart. Wen Qi only wanted Gu Nan to return to a normal life. Waging wars and killing were never what he wanted.

He only hoped to nurse this battered insect back to health, a little better each day, until he restored his former pride and confidence.

As for what else he had to do... He would deal with the task-taker along the way, restore the world's original order, and then retire after completing his mission and return to his own world.

Wen Qi held on to that idea until the day the task-taker died. The proud, handsome female insect held the Insect Emperor's crown and knelt before him, putting away all his spikes. His voice was utterly humble: "I am willing to be your guardian, your blade. Please don't abandon me."

Wen Qi, who had just agreed with the System on a departure date: "...What?"

Gu Nan's dream for the first half of his life was to live like a normal female insect. After falling into ruin, dark thoughts gradually took over his heart. From then on, his dream was to trample those arrogant, conceited, useless male insects beneath his feet and make them submit.

The day he learned Wen Qi was about to leave, his dream changed. Now he wanted, whatever the cost, to keep the insect who had given him warmth when he was at his lowest.

"Wen Qi, if you dare leave, I'll make this world pay for it."

Little Scene:

One day, a newly appointed minister watched His Majesty hurry away as soon as the meeting ended and sighed, "His Majesty's workdays must be exhausting."

A veteran minister gave him a sympathetic look. "Busy getting jealous, busy taking advantage of his favor, busy using us to threaten the Insect Empress... How could it not be exhausting?"

The new minister: "..."
