Who Says You Can't Become a God by Cultivating the Heartless Dao in Jinjiang?!

Fated Protagonist Gong × Sweet- on-the-Surface, Dark-Hearted, Obsessive Black Lotus Shou In his previous life, Shu Yang was a textbook overpowered protagonist. As the chosen child of fortune, no matter what danger he faced, he always managed to turn disaster into safety. He went from being a beggar everyone wanted to beat to reaching the pinnacle of the cultivation world, becoming the first person in hundreds of years to master the Way of Supreme Detachment and attain immortality. But after enjoying a few years of peace and comfort, Shu Yang unexpectedly grew bored. He jumped from the Immortal-Slaying Platform, hoping to be reborn, only to enrage the Heavenly Dao and get cast down to the mortal realm. And then he was successfully reborn as a male concubine in the household of his sworn enemy, Ruan Wei. A pretty vase with nothing but a handsome face and a completely ruined spiritual root, at that. Shu Yang: “…Heavenly Dao Daddy, you don’t love me anymore, do you?!” Terrified that his secret identity would be exposed and Ruan Wei, the young lord of the dragon clan, would take revenge, Shu Yang kept his head down in the back courtyard. But he soon discovered that although his sworn enemy had countless male concubines, Ruan Wei seemed never to have touched a single one. Whenever he visited the courtyard, he would summon the concubines he had collected, quietly gaze at their faces, so much like Shu Yang’s in his previous life, and then leave without a word. According to the stories, Ruan Wei, the young lord of the dragon clan, had suffered a heartbreak a hundred years ago. His beloved had killed him to prove his Dao, so in a fit of rage Ruan Wei collected many people with faces resembling his former husband’s. He planned to endure and bide his time, become an immortal, storm the Heavenly Court, and avenge the pain of being abandoned. The heartless scumbag who had ascended by stepping on Ruan Wei, the young lord of the dragon clan, and killed his husband to prove his Dao was Shu Yang. Shu Yang, the supposedly dead former husband: “…” Stop making things up! He cultivated the Way of Supreme Detachment, pure and blameless. When did he ever have a wife, let alone kill one to prove his Dao? Shu Yang didn’t believe the rumors. He preferred to think that his sworn enemy Ruan Wei was jealous because he couldn’t measure up to Shu Yang, and hated him so much that he had to look at his face every day to spur himself on. But since he couldn’t beat Ruan Wei for the time being, Shu Yang, hidden behind his secret identity, didn’t dare reveal the slightest hint of who he was. He diligently played the role of a “substitute” who could be killed by Shu Yang at any moment, and swore that before Ruan Wei could get his revenge, he would disrupt Ruan Wei’s Daoist heart. So he flirted with him every day, showering him with shamelessly passionate words and sometimes pinning him against a wall to deliberately tease his sensitive earlobes. As Ruan Wei’s pale face gradually flushed, and he became so sensitive he could barely hold his sword, Shu Yang felt more and more pleased with himself. He thought he had ruined Ruan Wei’s cultivation plans. But one day, when he secretly sneaked into a forbidden part of the back courtyard, he discovered countless portraits of himself on the walls of a secret chamber. …There were even paintings of him bathing. A cold sweat broke out across Shu Yang’s back. He turned to run, but a cold object suddenly pressed against his neck. Shu Yang froze in terror and shakily turned around. Ruan Wei stood there, one hand braced against his lower back, his belly swollen, a sword pointed at Shu Yang’s heart. He tilted his head and looked at him. “Are you done pretending?” Ruan Wei’s voice was calm, almost unhurried. “Shu Yang. Or should I say... the man who once killed his husband to prove his Dao, and the father of my child?” 1. Enemies to lovers, with amnesia, rekindled romance, secret crushes, a fake substitute, exposed identities, misunderstandings between past and present lives, and a chaotic mix of melodrama and comedy. 2. The gong is not a murderer. 3. Includes pregnancy and childbirth. 4. Lots of jokes and memes, written in a half-classical style. 5. The blurb has been slightly revised, but the overall story remains the same. ------- Coming Soon: Stop It, You Two! ------- Yun Sa was orphaned as a child and possessed extraordinary talent. At eighteen, he successfully climbed the Ladder to Immortality and became someone no one in the cultivation world could hope to match. Ten years later, he went mad from cultivating and fell into demonic cultivation, becoming a target of everyone’s scorn. But whether he stood at the summit looking down on all others or struggled through a bottleneck at rock bottom, Yun Sa gritted his teeth and never forgot the goal of his Daoist heart. He would become an immortal, the only person in five hundred years to successfully ascend. Two hundred years later, the nine tribulations of ascension finally struck. Yun Sa shattered the void and ascended to immortality, taking his place among the celestial ranks. He thought his good days had finally arrived. But before he had spent even a few carefree days as an idle immortal, the Heavenly Dao came looking for him and, without a word, cast him back down to the mortal realm. As it left, it coldly delivered a divine decree: “Your soul is incomplete, and your worldly ties remain unresolved. You do not meet the requirements for immortality. Cultivate again.” The banished immortal Yun Sa fell from the clouds and landed face-first in the dirt. He also had to confront a question he couldn’t make sense of himself. Wait, where’s my soul?! And... what worldly ties do I still have to resolve?! Only later did Yun Sa, after turning it over in his mind countless times, discover that the two fragments of his soul, unfortunately struck off by the tribulation lightning, had both successfully taken physical form while he was in the celestial realm. One had become the cultivation world’s beloved moonlight, a cool and aloof senior disciple of a sect. The other had become the ruler of the demon realm, with the power to command a hundred demons to roam the night and do as they pleased. Most importantly, although the two soul fragments shared the same origin and were both formed from Yun Sa’s soul, they regarded each other as sworn enemies. They had a small fight every three days and a huge one every five, turning the mortal world upside down and leaving no one in peace. In the end, even the Heavenly Dao couldn’t stand it anymore. It dragged in their father, Yun Sa, to clean up the mess, hinting again and again: “Please, sir, get those two brats of yours under control!” Yun Sa: “…” He rolled up his sleeves and punched each of the two little brats once, beating his arrogant sons until they ran around clutching their heads. As he thrashed them, he demanded: “Why are you fighting? Why?!” The once cool and aloof senior disciple sat on the ground with tears in his eyes, while the usually arrogant demon seed had red eyes too. In unison, they pointed at each other and said: “He killed my dad!” “I’m going to avenge my dad!” Yun Sa: “…???” You little brats, your dad is right here :) To raise the two brats properly, Yun Sa had no choice but to become an ambassador for friendly relations between the human and demon realms. With one child in each hand, he personally guided them as they leveled up, fought monsters, and attained immortality. In the end, one son became the Divine Realm’s emperor, and the other became the ruler of the Immortal Realm. As for Yun Sa, he became the equal of the Heavenly Dao, ageless, deathless, and indestructible, worshipped by the mortal world for generations. In public, his two sons were celestial beings. In private, they fought all over again, both wanting Yun Sa to retire in their own domain. Yun Sa: “…” Looking at his enormous store of merit, equal to that of the Heavenly Dao, he broke into a cold sweat. “Have I... have I become successful because of my sons?” #I Became a Millionaire Thanks to My Sons# #Responsible Parenting Starts with Me# #Stop, stop, you two! You can’t kill each other by fighting like this!# 1. A familiar family-and-romance story, split evenly between the two. 2. Both sons are formed from the gong’s soul. 3. The shou’s identity is still undecided. 4. They dote on each other. Theme: Even if Heaven has feelings, it is still heartless.
