(The saved draft went off the rails, so I'm not starting this one yet. I'll start a romance novel first, but it won't be long.)
As the descendant of a demon god, Mo Yizhao's path to immortality was like having cheat codes. He easily rose to the position of Immortal Venerable, and his extraordinary beauty earned him a place in the history books. Everyone in later generations knew of this aloof Immortal Venerable.
At last, the aloof Immortal Venerable grew tired of life and cast a sleep spell on himself. But he made the spell too powerful and slept for over ten thousand years. When he awoke in his coffin, the world had changed.
Pavilions and terraces had become skyscrapers. Standing amid an array of high-tech devices, Mo Yizhao didn't even know his way around, so he promptly went to seek refuge with a fallen cultivation sect.
The sect went into a frenzy. Why did this man look exactly like their ancestor?
Mo Yizhao: Is it possible that I am your ancestor?
Cultivation had fallen out of favor in the modern world, where technology reigned supreme. After transmigrating, Mo Yizhao followed the cultivation world as it hid from place to place, groveling and trying not to get wiped out. But after all that hiding, Mo Yizhao had had enough.
He thought, We could beat them anyway, so why not... fight back?
So he not only pushed himself to cultivate, but put the entire sect through its paces too.
The disciples tried to persuade him: "Ancestor, you have to lie low and go along with the times."
Mo Yizhao smiled warmly. "No. I'm going to work hard in secret and amaze everyone."
The disciples: "?"
With a firm belief in outdoing everyone, Mo Yizhao set out to outshine them all despite being an ancient ancestor. He went alone to attack a military base, swept through everyone in his path, and casually kidnapped a handsome young man who was eating instant noodles.
The young man eyed him warily. "What are you going to do?"
The aloof Immortal Venerable Mo Yizhao pulled out his phone. "Help me beat this match-three game."

Xie Shigu never dreamed that, as the cold and ruthless leader of the highest-level special forces, he would one day be kidnapped by a white-haired beauty and taken to his home, where he would become his life-skills tutor.
The decisive commander sheathed his blade and was forced to become a housekeeper. Dressed in his cold, austere military uniform, he had to look after the man's daily needs like a matron, reminding him what he couldn't touch and what he couldn't eat, as if he were looking after a child. He even had to help him beat a match-three game.
He thought the white-haired beauty had something wrong with his head. He would even comfort himself with milk tea when he couldn't get past a level. Xie Shigu had secretly been plotting to kill him and regain his freedom, but...
The beauty was too easy on the eyes. Before he knew it, he had fallen for him.

"Tell me, can a mechanical heart beat faster than its programmed speed?"
"The program doesn't include emotions. An AI android can't fall in love, but I can."
