Coming soon: My Romantic Tribulation Went Mad, thank you! The blurb is at the very bottom.

[Chasing after love at the crematorium / angst and melodrama / taking by force / reunited after a breakup]

Meng Xinghe and Xia Yishen had been tangled up with each other for more than a decade.

Xia Yishen told him, "We belong to each other. Meng Xinghe will always belong to Xia Yishen."

For Meng Xinghe, who was as rootless as duckweed, those words burrowed into his mind like a parasitic worm.

He believed them without question.

As a child, he spent night after night with Xia Yishen because of those words.

Years after they parted, Xia Yishen used the same words to pull him back into his arms.

That Christmas, Meng Xinghe held a bouquet of roses and clutched a ring as he watched his partner standing aboard a luxury cruise ship, getting engaged to someone else.

Meng Xinghe smiled bitterly. So that promise that they belonged to each other had just been a lie from Xia Yishen, and all along, Meng Xinghe had been nothing but Xia Yishen's... plaything!

In the end, Meng Xinghe leaped into the sea, leaving all those countless, hard-to-let-go memories behind for Xia Yishen.

*

Three years later, Xia Yishen found Meng Xinghe holding someone else's hand.

With bloodshot eyes, Xia Yishen wanted nothing more than to tear out his own heart and offer it to him like a precious treasure.

Meng Xinghe only laughed coldly. "What are you planning to say to trick me this time, President Xia? I don't want to see you at all. Do you not understand?"

Xia Yishen lowered his head and murmured, "I... don't want to understand."

Coming soon: My Romantic Tribulation Went Mad

Blurb:

[Chasing his wife / reunited after a breakup / evenly matched leads / short story / a shameless act of violence born of obscurity]

Pei Xu was Kunlun Mountain's most gifted disciple. He needed only to overcome one final romantic tribulation before he could attain the Dao and ascend.

Having discovered the location of his tribulation through the Book of Heaven, Pei Xu sealed his spiritual meridians and went down the mountain with his belongings.

The moment he saw Xun Yin, he was dumbstruck.

How could a cultivator's romantic tribulation be a snake demon? How was that even possible???

As expected of a tribulation! As expected of the Heavenly Dao!!

Pei Xu shook his head again and again, but could only deliberately stick close to Xun Yin.

It was only three years, after all. What tribulation ever went smoothly?

When Xun Yin sent him to the Demon King's bed as a gift,

Pei Xu's eyes reddened as he silently repeated, "Two more years."

When Xun Yin crippled his right hand for someone else,

Pei Xu gritted his teeth. "One more year."

At last, chaos erupted among the demons.

Xun Yin pointed his sword at Pei Xu.

"Did you come from Kunlun Mountain to destroy the demon race?"

"Why did you seal your spiritual meridians?"

"Why did you get close to me?"

Pei Xu couldn't wait any longer. He threw himself onto the sword.

From then on, his body and soul were gone.

There was no longer a Kunlun Mountain disciple named Pei Xu in the world.

Only the newly appointed True Lord Kun Yuan, Pei Xu.

Later, the sky fell.

It wasn't a joke. The sky really fell.

Pei Xu's ascension had been hard-won, and he was recovering from his injuries.

Suddenly, a little immortal attendant came running to his sleeping quarters.

Pei Xu, weak and short of breath, asked, "Why are you in such a panic?"

The attendant replied, "True Lord, something terrible has happened. The sky has fallen."

Pei Xu: ????

The attendant: "The Demon King Xun Yin in the mortal realm has punched a hole in the sky."

Pei Xu: !!!!
