Also featuring my upcoming novel: I Was Too Young to Appreciate the Immortal Venerable

Blurb:

Yun Qi lived his whole life without realizing until he was on his deathbed that he was living inside a reverse-harem transmigration novel.

A beautiful but airheaded man accidentally transmigrates into a second-chance romance novel. He tries to bring the main couple together, only to discover that everyone loves him.

During a dating show, the gorgeous but scatterbrained beauty loses his footing and falls from a cruise ship into the sea. The men who had just been fighting over him immediately race to jump in and save him.

The protagonist is eventually rescued, but the original story’s main couple, who were also supposed to dive in after him, disappear without a trace.

In the instant Yun Qi is pushed into the water, as he teeters on the edge of death, he glimpses a truth so absurd it is hard to believe.

Beneath the surface, he sees that familiar, handsome face, full of panic. Mouthfuls of oxygen pass from the other man’s lips to his, but it is nowhere near enough.

Even though they had long since gone their separate ways, the little dog he raised still came to save him without hesitation.

If fate had followed its proper course…

So we were meant to be childhood sweethearts, lovers who had known each other since we were young.

When Yun Qi wakes again, the first season of the dating show that had taken the internet by storm has just ended, and the romantic rivalry is reaching its fiercest point.

Viewers are making a racket in the comments and on the live-stream feed:

“Ahhh, I love watching lovers turn into rivals!”

“Airheaded little beauty, hehe. He tries to play matchmaker, only to discover the whole ship has fallen for him. Give me more of this love polygon!”

“I want to see the childhood friends who fell out fight over that adorable, scatterbrained beauty!”

“Give me more of the brothers’ love triangle!”

The few fans shipping Yun Qi and Duan Xingge are desperately trying to survive in the margins, only to get mocked by everyone else:

“LOL, Xingyun? Who’s that? You mean Yun Qi and Duan Xingge? What a trash ship. Find something better to read.”

“Are the people shipping them sick? They’re both obviously into Jiao Bao.”

“If my baby’s harem ever got together, I’d eat my computer!”

But no one expected that, when the second season began, Duan Xingge would walk straight past the protagonist and stride up to Yun Qi. His smiling eyes held a serious look and a deep intensity that would not fade. “I remember… When we were kids, you promised you’d marry me.”

Yun Qi froze. Under the astonished gaze of the entire internet, Duan Xingge continued with a smile, “So… does that promise still stand?”

The live stream fell silent for three seconds, then the comments and online discussion exploded.

1. A sweet story with two virgins, and the seme and uke are mutually devoted. Extreme character loyalists, please sit this one out.

2. The uke is cold to everyone else but easily softens toward the seme. The seme has loved only the uke from the beginning, but the uke doesn’t know it.

3. Everything about the entertainment and jewelry industries is made up by the author. Please be gentle if there are inaccuracies.

4. Both are a little crazy in their own way. Healthy relationships are important, sure, but twisted love is just more exciting (swoons).

5. Once the story starts, there will be a daily update at 9 p.m. Come follow along!

Upcoming novel: I Was Too Young to Appreciate the Immortal Venerable

Older seme. Beautiful snake demon emperor uke x patriarchal, fatherly immortal venerable seme. Mutual devotion in bold, with a lethal dose of patriarchal kinks.

Blurb:

To repay a debt of gratitude, Bai Yujing followed someone through three lifetimes.

That person died young in his first life, drowned in his second, and finally lived past the age of eight in his third.

Overjoyed, Bai Yujing immediately dropped his fight with his sworn rival, faked his death, and went to the little world to become that person’s master, living inside a pot.

Using the rare treasures he had secretly collected, he raised his little benefactor until he was eighteen, watching him gather friends and surround himself with beautiful women.

But the good times didn’t last.

At the celebration banquet for his beloved disciple’s nascent soul formation, Bai Yujing drank a few too many glasses and revealed his true form. The young man he had raised with his own hands promptly offered him to an Immortal Venerable who had descended from the greater world to hunt demons.

What kind of Immortal Venerable was that? In Bai Yujing’s eyes, only one person deserved the title. No one else was worthy even to carry that person’s shoes.

Bai Yujing was heartbroken and paid no attention to this so-called Immortal Venerable. But on the day he was handed over, he discovered that this supposedly exalted figure was none other than his sworn enemy, the Xuantian Immortal Venerable, Xuan Lie.

Bai Yujing: “…”

Xuan Lie stood atop the high platform, looking down at him, his eyes filled with a darkness that made the heart tremble.

The genius boy had thought that presenting the snake demon would let him rise to the top. Instead, on the day of the offering, the Xuantian Immortal Venerable struck him down with a single sword stroke. The whole world was in an uproar.

It turned out that it took just one day to fall from being adored by everyone to hitting rock bottom.

Meanwhile, the weakened beauty of a snake was fortunate enough to spend some pleasant time serving as the Immortal Venerable’s bracelet.

Xuan Lie seemed not to recognize him. He even used the blood from his heart to nourish the little snake around his wrist every day.

Bai Yujing was secretly delighted. As for the way Xuan Lie would occasionally part his scales with a fingertip and slowly stroke his belly, Bai Yujing gritted his teeth and put up with it.

And so the two of them played at being lovers, their relationship steeped in patriarchal values to the extreme.

Before long, however, as Bai Yujing endured this life of submission, his former nemesis had rubbed his belly until it grew round.

Overwhelmed with terror, the ignorant beauty of a snake was scared out of his wits. He planned to fake his death and escape again, but the Immortal Venerable, who had been prepared for this, caught him on the spot and took him back.

The once dazzling and seductive Demon Emperor, who had made countless demons tremble, now had a pure white snake tail coaxed out of him beneath his nemesis.

With tears in his eyes, he could only beg for mercy, half sincerely and half in jest, while carefully curling his tail tip around the egg that had accidentally slipped out, drawing it to his chest, sure that no one had noticed.

The next moment, the Immortal Venerable, who was rumored to be as cold as ice, picked up the egg while Bai Yujing looked at him in terror and desperation. He pressed it against the scales beneath him and asked in a chilling voice, “Are you going to run again?”

From the ungrateful disciple’s perspective:

The day he offered up the snake demon, someone struck him down with a single sword stroke. He fell like a stray dog beneath the Immortal Cloud Platform, his body shattered.

The person who had raised him since childhood, always afraid he might get hurt, had now been handed over by his own hand.

This time, there was no one to treat his wounds while soothing him in a gentle voice.

Consumed by regret, he swore to take his master back from that beast.

But when he managed to rebuild his cultivation base through a chance encounter and rushed to find him

He saw his formerly languid, composed, beautiful master leaning bonelessly against that man, his snowy white, gorgeous snake tail raised as he sweetly pleaded, “My good Immortal Venerable, my dear husband… I really can lay eggs for you, so just let me have a little taste of your blood.”

[In the heavens stands the White Jade Capital, with twelve towers and five cities.

The immortal strokes my head, then binds my hair and grants me eternal life.]

1. The uke is strong and beautiful, but his species has left him a little slow-witted. There is a lethal dose of patriarchal kinks, so don’t read if that’s not your thing.

2. The story centers on the uke, with a handsome seme and beautiful uke who are devoted to each other. The seme is a patriarchal father figure and a jealous type, so extreme seme loyalists, please sit this one out.

3. Outside, the uke is a Demon Emperor; at home, he’s apparently a ditzy wife who loves her husband so much that he lays eggs without realizing it. Extreme uke loyalists, please sit this one out too.

4. There is an egg-laying plot, but the egg is not the biological child of the two of them. The details would be a spoiler, so please don’t read if false pregnancy is a trigger.

5. I Was Too Young to Appreciate the Demon Venerable shares the same world. The dragon and phoenix make guest appearances. Thank you to everyone who supports the official version. I’ll add anything else that comes to mind later.

Theme: Human will can triumph over fate.
