My Scum Ex's Senior Disciple Doesn't Love Me

When Qing Yuning, the little prince of the Nine Heavens, underwent a trial in the mortal realm, he fell in love with a human cultivator.

That man cherished him above all else and doted on him in every way.

The foolish Qing Yuning gave up his return to the Nine Heavens, hoping only to stay with that man forever.

But it turned out that the affection was a lie, and he had only ever been used.

During the demon prince's uprising, the man gouged out Qing Yuning's heart to protect his junior brother, his cold eyes utterly devoid of feeling.

He said, "I became your cultivation partner only for your exquisite heart. I never loved you."

Qing Yuning was rescued by the demon prince.

The demon prince reclaimed the exquisite heart and tended with care to his battered body.

A century later, Qing Yuning heard that the sect had fallen and that the man had become a demon lord, badly wounded and in urgent need of an exquisite heart as a medicinal ingredient.

Qing Yuning returned to the sect, but everything had changed beyond recognition.

He had no intention of disturbing the man. He only hoped to leave his exquisite heart behind and see this lifetime's tribulation through to its end.

But the man caught him and subjected him to every kind of humiliation, even dragging the demon prince into it.

The cultivators united to attack the demon lord. To protect the junior brother he loved, the demon lord planned to hand Qing Yuning over.

At the moment he was pushed onto the sacrificial altar...

Qing Yuning suddenly understood that love was nothing but fleeting clouds. Nothing could be held onto; everything was fate.

The last tiny scrap of affection he had for that man was extinguished, too.

Qing Yuning disintegrated into nothing before the man's eyes.

The Nine Heavens.

The little prince returned to his true divine form.

The top's perspective:

Ying Xichuan was born with an incomplete soul and a short life ahead of him. But he was so gifted that the sect selected a furnace for him to cultivate with.

At first, Ying Xichuan hated that little fool.

Gradually, he began to feel tenderness for him.

Later, without realizing when it happened, he found himself unable to let the little fool go.

During the demon prince's uprising, the little fool's exquisite heart made him a target. Ying Xichuan found a way for him to escape by faking his death, but the demon prince got to him first.

Later, the little fool came back, but another man was always at his side.

Ying Xichuan did many things he couldn't control.

Someone told him that he had fallen in love, and that one day he would regret it.

Later still,

the little fool's body and soul were destroyed before his eyes.

Ying Xichuan thought that he truly did regret it.

He abandoned the path of human cultivation entirely and climbed, step by step, to the throne of Demon Emperor.

He was consumed by madness for nearly three thousand years.

Then, one day, in the Nine Heavens,

he saw again

the little fool he had searched for over three thousand years.

"Friendly Warning"

1. The top chases the bottom after losing him, with enough ashes scattered to fill the sky.

2. An innocent-hearted, seemingly sweet but secretly ruthless little prince as the bottom x A scum top who becomes a regretful Demon Emperor.

3. Bittersweet, sour first and sweet later. The top is a real scumbag at first because he doesn't understand love, then chases the bottom later.

4. Each is the other's trial of love.
