After Spreading Rumors That My Master Forced Me to Marry

[Please read the content warning at the end of the blurb before reading. My next novel, Love Through Blood Clots, is about a hemophiliac bottom with a knack for attracting trouble x an enemy prince who stops at nothing. The blurb is at the end. Shamelessly begging for follows!]

Bottom: His blood tank is always empty, his body temperature is unstable, and he is a crazy disciple bent on revenge x Top: A protective, unreliable master

-Bottom's POV-

The Demon Prince, Liuxing Bai, has a gentle appearance and a violent temper.

He once quelled a rebellion and refined all the prisoners of war into fiends. He also once saved the entire demon realm single-handedly. But just as he was riding high, someone exposed that he possessed a half-immortal body.

Overnight, the exalted prince became a mixed-blood mongrel, his lineage tainted.

Amid the chaos, he vanished without a trace. His followers were slaughtered, demon blood spilled across every corner of the world, and his closest kin, lost and found again, died in a conspiracy.

Years later, the forgotten prince returned to the demon realm.

The Demon Sovereign coaxed him: You're back, and that's what matters. Your past grievances are nothing.

The demons wondered: Could the Third Prince really swallow this insult?

Everyone thought the demon realm was about to be drenched in blood.

But Liuxing Bai had lost all his edge and spent his days at home pretending to be sick. Aside from headaches, he was always cold. The person who looked after him every day was a strange figure wrapped head to toe in black gauze, who liked calling him "Little Highness."

From then on, the Third Prince's enemies began suffering one after another. Today, Zhang San's attempt to assassinate the prince was exposed. Tomorrow, Li Si slandered His Highness and ended up dead...

The Third Prince seemed harmless and utterly innocent, yet in his sickly state, he claimed countless heads.

At last, the mastermind could no longer sit still and accused Liuxing Bai of conspiring with the immortal realm to overthrow the demon realm's "peace."

Liuxing Bai: If Master hadn't forced me to marry him, I wouldn't have wanted to come back.

The demons: ?

Liuxing Bai rambled on: When he's good, he's really good. He's cooked for me, fed me medicine, helped me bathe, and stayed up all night with me when I felt awful. He even kisses away my tears. But when he stops acting like a person, he really isn't one. He keeps me locked up and tells me what to do, and... I just can't take it anymore.

The demons: Your Highness, though we don't believe a word you say, we want to hear the rest of your story. What else did your master do that was inhuman?

The strange figure spoke up: No need to listen to more. It's true. I can vouch for him.

The demons: ...You were watching?

-Top's POV-

Rumor has it that Shangxian Chuan Ling, guardian of the Immortal-Demon Rift, has an illicit lover: his own little disciple.

The two bicker and tussle. The disciple throws tantrums at the drop of a hat, and the Shangxian always finds new ways to tease him.

Then, for reasons unknown, the disciple cut ties with him and leaped resolutely into the Immortal-Demon Rift.

To keep him safe, the Shangxian willingly shortened his own life and left his body in spirit form for many years.

When he awoke, the Third Prince had turned the immortal and demon realms upside down.

He dragged his broken body straight to the demon realm, not to slay a demon, but to shield the demon prince from a fatal blow: Little Highness, I won't force you anymore. I won't pick fights anymore, okay?

The demons: Force him to do what? Did you really force him into marriage??

[Notes]

※ 1v1, HE. Cover artist: Xiao Niba.

※ The demon realm here isn't much like the real world. Just enjoy the story.

※ I've never seriously studied cultivation. The whole system is based on dreams and making things up. My writing isn't great, I'm terrible at blurbs, and I'm a nitpicker and a serial title-changer. Feel free to point out any problems you notice, though I might not fix them. Bows and sends you love!

※ This note is called "Highlight." It says the novel shouldn't be too long, but the author has made a mess of it with several impulsive rewrites. It's hard to describe, so I recommend subscribing chapter by chapter. Yep.

--- An upcoming novel from an author who's bad at titles and blurbs. Rolling around and begging for follows! ---

Love Through Blood Clots

A hemophiliac bottom with a knack for attracting trouble x an enemy prince who stops at nothing

Everyone knows that Starfleet Marshal Chu Shuang is indomitable and undefeated in a hundred battles.

Few know that he has hemophilia.

Years ago, when he returned victorious, he gave a young prisoner of war a chance to live.

Now, with a bullet in his heart, Chu Shuang is betrayed by that same person and imprisoned in the infirmary.

After coming back from the brink of death, Chu Shuang learns that the pure-hearted youth who had been by his side for years is actually an enemy commander notorious for his ruthless methods. The most ridiculous part is that after hearing the other man call him "Big Brother" and say a few kind words, he'd decided to secretly take the reins and run away with him.

Looking back now, every memory was part of a "script"!

Marshal Chu regrets it: I gave my heart to a dog. I'll kill you.

The youth regrets it too: Things have come to this. What am I supposed to do with you now...

Su Xinzhao, prince of the Star Alliance, endured humiliation to infiltrate the enemy ranks, only to gradually fall in love with the enemy marshal.

At last, while fulfilling his mission, he brought the person he loved to the brink of death.

At the crucial moment, a celestial anomaly appeared.

Su Xinzhao seized the opportunity and paid a terrible price to save his beloved.

He thought: He's cold on the outside but soft-hearted. Once he knows why I did it, he'll forgive me.

He repeated his old trick and, just like when they first met, offered the other man the knife: Big Brother, if...

Before he could finish, the knife plunged into his chest, straight through. A face-slapping blow that pierced his heart, too.

Su Xinzhao realized: You really mean it?!

Their eyes met.

In the other man's eyes, Su Xinzhao saw hatred enough to tear his soul apart.

That man was destined to become a great hero. The empire, the Starfleet, even nameless strangers mattered more to him...

He forced a bitter smile, grabbed Chu Shuang by the collar, and kissed him hard, blood splattered across the corner of the other's lips:

Is there really no way back?

Then I'll gladly have you hate me, just as I can't control my love for you. At least this way, we'll always be carved into each other's hearts.

Theme: The past cannot be changed, but the future is still ours to pursue.
