Red Letter

Better never to have met than to meet and part. What is deep affection compared to indifference?

-

The Ghost Emperor has repeatedly invaded the human world and even killed powerful cultivators. His crimes are unforgivable, and all living beings are in danger! The powerful cultivators who survived joined together to petition the Venerable Qingli, begging him to confront the Ghost Emperor and demand justice.

The Venerable Qingli went in person to the ghost realm. Who could have guessed that the leaders of the human and ghost realms would neither face off nor clash by force?

Instead, the Ghost Emperor personally brewed tea for the Venerable, while the Venerable repaired the Ghost Emperor's personal belongings with his own hands.

Ghost Emperor: I was framed.

Venerable: He is my husband, whom I married before the hairpin ceremony.

When the demon lord Chi Lu died, the fire that destroyed the demon realm had been burning for thirty days.

The last thing he saw was Gu Yu's white-robed back as he turned away without a trace of warmth.

Gu Yu, the lofty Immortal Venerable revered by the hundred immortal sects.

He was also the man the demon lord had given his whole heart to.

When Chi Lu opened his eyes again, he had been reborn.

Back before the demon realm was massacred, he thought fiercely, This life, I will never fall in love with Gu Yu again.

He cut out his heart and offered it to the demon altar, purging himself of that ridiculous feeling, then swore a blood oath to avenge his people.

At last, he understood one thing:

Demons and cultivators were always destined to be enemies.

·

Before the Red Lotus Karmic Pool, thunder cracked and lightning flashed. The long sword in his hand pierced the Immortal Venerable's shoulder, staining his white robes with blood.

Chi Lu gripped Gu Yu by the throat, his voice hoarse as he ground out, "Haven't you always wanted to kill me? Why aren't you fighting back?"

Gu Yu looked at him, his voice calm. "Didn't you turn the blade aside at the last moment, when you were about to stab me through the heart?"

At that moment, Chi Lu had never been so furious. He stared at that beautiful face, and an evil thought came to him.

I will make the aloof Immortal Venerable, looked up to by all, suffer humiliation and torment.

I will make those always-calm dark eyes shed tears, and make the proud, heartless man kneel and beg me.

The cave was shrouded in darkness for ten whole days.

Chi Lu came out holding his aching waist, then angrily used demonic fire to burn every red lotus in the karmic pool.

"..."

What Immortal Venerable? Gu Yu was clearly insane.

·

Recently, Chi Lu's demonic energy had been flowing poorly, and he could feel a mass of spiritual energy gathering in his abdomen.

The Immortal Venerable Gu Yu was in seclusion cultivating when the barrier outside his immortal hall was blasted open.

The demon lord stormed in, sword in hand. "Why am I pregnant?!"

Chi Lu tried every possible way to get rid of the abomination in his belly.

But he was imprisoned in the immortal hall, where Gu Yu protected the child with spiritual energy every night.

"Stop struggling."

Gu Yu's calm voice came from beside the bed.

"This is my child too."

[Beautiful, strong, tragic, aloof flower of a mad Immortal Venerable top x hot-tempered, prickly, tsundere demon lord bottom]

At the demon realm's altar, Chi Lu was surrounded by the hundred immortal sects, but Gu Yu stood in his way.

The Immortal Venerable was pierced through the heart by countless blades on the spot.

After living a second life, Chi Lu realized that Gu Yu had changed.

When they shared a pillow late at night, Gu Yu would gently kiss his forehead.

But after offering his heart to the demon altar, Chi Lu no longer had the ability to love anyone.

The day Gu Yu died at the altar, he thought:

At last, my vengeance has been avenged.

Reading Guide

1. In their previous life, the top and bottom had a misunderstanding. The top did not destroy the demon clan.

2. The top is a restrained, patient madman, the brooding kind.

3. The setting is fictional, with original elements.

4. Nontraditional childbearing.

5. This is the kind of melodramatic angst I love. I'm writing it for myself to enjoy.

6. Don't worry, it's 1v1 and HE.
