The Whole School's Heartthrob Fell for Me

[Coming soon: My Dao Companion Who Fell to Earth. Please add it to your collection! ovo]

In the year he graduated from high school, Gu Qing saw He Chuanlan again after a year apart. Unable to hide his feelings, he confessed to him.

"I like you. If I get into A University, can we be together?"

He had thought his secret crush would simply fade away after He Chuanlan turned him down.

But to his surprise, the other boy shrugged and gave him the smile Gu Qing loved most. His answer was astonishing: "Sure."

His heart immediately began pounding.

But at the very moment Gu Qing received his acceptance letter, all sorts of scenes that shouldn't have been in his mind suddenly appeared in his head.

It turned out he was in a novel, and He Chuanlan, his boyfriend, was the novel's universally adored main character.

All kinds of outstanding people surrounded He Chuanlan.

He had countless rivals in love, and Gu Qing was so ordinary. How could the most popular guy at school possibly like him? Maybe his boyfriend had only agreed because he never thought Gu Qing would get into A University.

After agonizing over it for a long time, Gu Qing decided he shouldn't hold He Chuanlan back any longer. He said to him:

"Let's break up."

-

He Chuanlan had a handsome, gentle, and thoughtful boyfriend.

Whenever people brought up Gu Qing, He Chuanlan would turn his face away with a proud, haughty look and say, "Eh, he's all right, I guess!"

Then, as soon as they were alone, he'd cling to his boyfriend as much as he could.

But one day, his darling suddenly drooped his head and looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't. Just as He Chuanlan was about to lean in for a hug, he heard him say, "Let's break up."

He Chuanlan: ???

Blurb for My Dao Companion Who Fell to Earth

Ji Yue was the laziest immortal in the celestial realm. He refused to take on any work, spending every day fishing and drinking in his little courtyard.

Everyone said that if Ji Yue's master hadn't accumulated so much merit, Ji Yue wouldn't have been able to coast on his master's reputation, and would have been banished to the mortal realm ages ago.

Ji Yue's master really was a good master. He even worried about his beloved disciple before leaving, and found him the strongest Dao companion in the celestial realm.

Ji Yue: ...Thanks, but really, there's no need.

Ji Yue and the God of War, He Zhiming, had only met once at their Dao Companion ceremony. After that, they never saw each other again, becoming Dao companions in name only.

Ji Yue spent every day drinking and fishing. He never expected that one day he'd hear that his Dao companion had fallen into the mortal realm and been reincarnated while fighting on the front lines.

Ji Yue: Oh. What does that have to do with me? I'm fishing, so don't bother me.

Divine Official: ...

Divine Official: No. You're going down to the mortal realm to bring the God of War back. If the celestial realm loses its God of War, you can forget about drinking or fishing ever again!

Ji Yue was forced to descend to the mortal realm. He thought all he had to do was find He Zhiming, help him cultivate, and then ascend back to the celestial realm. But nobody told him that He Zhiming, this madman, had dissociative identity disorder! What the hell?

During the day, the human emperor, He Zhiming, looked at his newly arrived favorite consort, Ji Yue, and said with forced politeness:

"My beloved consort is in fine spirits today."

At night, He Zhiming became a demon cultivator who loved seducing people, tempting Ji Yue into bed:

"If the emperor knew I was in your bed, do you think he'd be angry?"

On the night of the full moon, when the poison in He Zhiming's body flared up, he put on a mask and became the fiend feared by everyone in the mortal realm. He grabbed Ji Yue by the throat and said:

"You say you're an immortal? Ha! Why not fall into the abyss with me?"

Ji Yue: (cowering) I'm not, I didn't, I don't want to...
