What Should I Do About the Crown Prince Going Mad?

[Innocent X Unhinged]

Xie Zhuchen died suddenly before he could become an immortal.

The good news: he was alive and had transmigrated into the body of the Crown Prince's protector in the current dynasty.

The bad news: he had become a wicked Daoist who lusted after the Crown Prince. When he woke up, he was half-dressed and climbing into the Crown Prince's bed.

He had lost all his immortal powers, and vengeful spirits roamed the Eastern Palace.

The poor Crown Prince was not only frail and sickly, but also plagued by evil spirits.

As a cultivator, Xie Zhuchen believed it was his duty to protect the vulnerable mortals.

Hearing this, the Crown Prince was indeed grateful. “I hate liars most of all. You said you would protect me forever... You'd better keep your word.”

But later on,

why did someone tell him the Crown Prince was a murderous madman?

Xie Zhuchen didn't believe it.

The Crown Prince was so pitiful. How could he be crazy? And kill people? That was even more impossible.

That is, until the frail, helpless Crown Prince, who was terrified of ghosts, kicked down his temple with a sword in hand and dragged him back to the imperial palace in front of all his followers.

Xie Zhuchen: ?!

When Shen Yanshi was young, he received a prophetic curse.

From then on, everyone who dared get close to him either died or went mad.

Everyone feared him, trembling whenever they saw him.

The only comfort he had was a figure who appeared in his dreams.

After going through six protectors, his seventh was a wicked Daoist who lusted after him. When his advances were rejected, he drugged Shen Yanshi and tried to climb into his bed.

So Shen Yanshi casually killed him.

But the Daoist didn't die. When he woke, he had become a fool who knew nothing about ordinary life, yet solemnly declared that he would protect Shen Yanshi.

Shen Yanshi found it utterly ridiculous and paid him no mind.

But later, just as he was using every means at his disposal to keep the other man by his side forever, the Daoist ran away.

When they met again, the fawning, affected Daoist had silver hair and violet eyes. Clad in silver robes, he sat high upon a divine altar, where no one dared look directly at him.

He was unmistakably the same as the figure in Shen Yanshi's dreams.

Shen Yanshi's heart raced wildly.

But the man who had once been so tender toward him gave him a cool, distant glance, then turned away and pretended not to know him.

He dragged the banished immortal down from his altar, gazed at his cold face, and asked with a smile:

“Daoist, I've been looking for you for so long. How can you bear to pretend we don't know each other?”
