[This story is complete. Thank you for reading.]
1.
The Ten Immortal Venerables each have their own quirks. Only Lu Xun, ranked seventh, is mild-tempered and most like a normal person.
Cultivators across the land would do anything to become Lu Xun’s disciple.
But Lu Xun has taken only two disciples.
His senior disciple, Jiang Cheng, is the young master of Suiyang City: handsome, well-behaved, sweet-tongued, and much loved.
His junior disciple, Jiang Yan, is a furnace cauldron rescued from the Demon Realm. He is exceptionally handsome, but so taciturn, obsessive, and difficult to teach that he gives Lu Xun a headache.
2.
In his previous life, Lu Xun calculated that his senior disciple Jiang Cheng was his destined partner. Mistakenly believing Jiang Cheng had feelings for him, he went along with fate and became Jiang Cheng’s cultivation partner.
But only after sacrificing his life and cultivation to save Jiang Cheng did he learn that Jiang Cheng neither loved him nor was his destined partner.
Jiang Cheng had approached and used him only to save the one he loved.
3.
Living a second life, Lu Xun looks at Jiang Cheng, who is pretending to be devoted, smiles, and kicks him away. Then he tells his junior disciple Jiang Yan, “From now on, you are the only disciple I will ever have.”
Then he thinks to warn the boy:
Don’t fall in love. Love never ends well.
But the moment he turns around, he meets his junior disciple’s burning, restrained gaze.
Lu Xun: “...”
4.
Lu Xun takes Jiang Yan down the mountain to travel. While Lu Xun is drunk, Jiang Yan sneaks a touch of his hand.
Lu Xun looks up at him, his gaze complicated.
From then on, Jiang Yan doesn’t dare overstep again.
Later, during the war between the immortals and demons, Lu Xun and Jiang Yan are gravely wounded. Jiang Yan crawls through a mountain of corpses and rivers of blood to reach Lu Xun, only to offer him a white plum blossom.
He says, “My devotion to you, Master, is just like this flower.”
One meaning of the white plum blossom: faithfulness.
Lu Xun gazes at his junior disciple, drenched in blood. After a long silence, he finally succumbs to the burning love he can no longer evade.

“Why Hasn’t the Demon Lord Stolen His Bride Yet?”
Blurb:
To sow chaos in the immortal sects, the Demon Lord acts on a whim and disguises himself as a cultivator, infiltrating an immortal academy.
There is a sickly young man at the academy, exceptionally handsome but so kind that he treats every classmate wonderfully.
He gives people spirit stones, spirit herbs, and spirit medicine for free whenever the mood strikes...
Every classmate likes the sickly young man, and the Demon Lord is no exception.
But the Demon Lord’s affection is unlike that of these callow youths. He longs to possess the sickly young man completely.
The problem is, the sickly young man is betrothed to the leading immortal cultivator of their generation.
The Demon Lord tests the waters, and the sickly young man approves of the engagement and is willing to become the champion’s cultivation partner.
So the Demon Lord can only conceal his forbidden desires and quietly protect him.
But on the day of the wedding, the sickly young man is killed by his cultivation partner. Why? Because those useless practitioners of the Heartless Way are all the rage for killing their wives to prove their Dao.
The sickly young man dies, and the Demon Lord goes mad. Clutching his corpse, he destroys his own core, blowing every onlooker present to pieces.
When the Demon Lord opens his eyes again, he is reborn in the first year he infiltrated the immortal academy.
The sickly young man appears before him once more, alive and full of energy.
The Demon Lord secretly resolves that this time, whether the sickly young man loves him or not, he will keep him by his side.
Even if he has to take him by force.
*
But the Demon Lord doesn’t know that, in his previous life, the sickly young man had two secrets in his heart.
The first: he never loved his future cultivation partner.
The second: he treated everyone well only because he was afraid they’d see that he wanted to be kind to just one person.
So in this life, the Demon Lord has barely taken his first step before the sickly young man is already running toward him.

Character types:
A tempting beauty who doesn’t know he’s doing it, bottom x a simple-minded, domineering Demon Lord, top
Theme: After countless trials and tribulations, one can finally prove the truth of one’s heart.
I kind of want to see this couple. If you and I are not at fault, and we are in love, and fate is unpredictable, will we have a chance to do it again? After several lives, you are no longer you, and I am no longer me. If we meet again, it is not the prologue of this life, so why meet again. If it is, then in the years missed in the middle, whose love are you?
Jiang is so stupid, it really affects the perception.
This pair can also be expanded into a short story of tens of thousands of words~~~.
I just thought about it in my head, I love this so much!
Can Shozuo and Lingwu meet in the 101st life? ? !
Let's give the extra episode a good ending.
Wow, Ye Ya is too scumbag. Even so, I still hope that Da Da will give them a good ending and get rid of misunderstandings. Otherwise, Ling Wu will be too miserable. Don't abuse this pair. Da Da

"Deepness" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
Is it "oozing out"?
It's been 13 hours, I have to finish it no matter what (?????)
