The Demon Lord and the Paragon of the Righteous Path Got Together

[A cultivation novel with a dominant hero]

[No inspiration right now, so don't click. I may revise it and start over later.]

The entire cultivation world thought it was a good thing that the great demon Wen Su had died.

The righteous path thought he deserved to die because he had committed countless evils and his sins could never be atoned for.

The demonic path thought he deserved to die because he couldn't tell friend from foe and his ambitions were impossible to rein in.

Even Wen Su himself thought the Heavenly Dao couldn't stand the sight of him and wanted him dead, gone without a trace, his soul scattered.

But he was reborn, with his memories and undiminished hatred intact.

The demon gave a smile. He had always repaid every slight.

But before he could start causing trouble, he was held back by his bonded partner's "coercive love."

[Bonus scene]

They say the great demon Wen Su took a righteous cultivator as his bonded partner and keeps him so tightly hidden that the prestigious orthodox sects have been secretly trying to expose this "undercover agent."

Chen Ningxi, a paragon of the righteous path, was entrusted with this important task.

The disciples were eager to catch the "undercover agent." As soon as they got a lead, they rushed to Chen Ningxi's cave residence first thing in the morning and declared, "Senior brother, we have a lead on the undercover agent!!!"

Inside the cave residence, someone's hand was clamped tightly around Chen Ningxi's.

The disciples said, "He likes to wear light-colored clothes! Especially white robes!"

A heat burned somewhere inside him. Chen Ningxi's lashes trembled. "...Mm."

The disciples said, "He uses a sword! He's very handy, and he's made the great demon lots of sword tassels!"

Chen Ningxi burrowed deeper under the bedding. "...Mm."

The disciples said, "The demon even says his partner looks like a celestial being descended to earth! We can't go wrong if we look for someone handsome!"

Chen Ningxi was lifted by the waist. "...Mm."

The disciples were thrilled. "We should be able to catch the undercover agent before long!"

A demon pinned Chen Ningxi's shoulders and back and whispered softly in his ear, "I've already caught him, senior brother."

The long years of immortality stretch on. I cherish only your affection.

A not-quite-right demon of a dominant partner x a seemingly normal righteous cultivator of a receptive partner

They're both hypocrites when it comes to their double standards.

The idea dates back to 2021. The blurb has been revised, but the core remains the same.

Content warnings:

1. One-on-one, mutually faithful in body and mind. The dominant partner's point of view. The couple dotes on each other; no switching or breaking them up. The author's writing is at an elementary-school level, and the main characters are not perfect.

2. Both are powerful. The dominant partner is not a good person and has little sense of morality. If you like protagonists who are purely kind and good, this may not be for you. Also, both partners are hopeless romantics at heart.

3. If you don't like it, don't force yourself to read. Don't message me when you drop it. No polluting the comments section or personal attacks. Please don't conflate the characters' values with the author's.

4. The author is not part of any character-control faction. If you are, proceed with caution. The dominant partner's role only refers to the point of view.

5. The plot includes secondary couples of other orientations, and a light ensemble cast.

6. This novel was stuck for a long time, and the characterizations, plot, and title have all changed (the author's brain cells are all used up). To the dear readers who liked it from the beginning, I'm sorry. Feel free to stay or go.

Theme: Snow weighs down the green mountains, bright candles light up the southern sky. May every journey find its destination, and every heart find peace.
