The Demon Lord Insists on Making Me His Master

[Main story complete]

A laid-back, rakish, bad-boy top x a fake innocent flower who's actually a cold, domineering bottom

--Blurb--

Immortal Lou Jin is famous in the immortal realm for being a slacker with no sense of propriety.

His motto in life as an immortal is to enjoy the moment.

The hardworking immortals keep their distance from such a hopeless idler, afraid his bad habits might rub off on them.

Only Jiang Zhuo is an exception. He keeps pestering Lou Jin and insists on becoming his disciple, no matter what.

Lou Jin tries to turn him down again and again, but fails every time.

Lou Jin: "Do you really have to have me?"

Jiang Zhuo's gaze burns bright. "I have to have you."

Lou Jin: ...Fine, fine.

The good news: I picked up a bargain disciple.

The bad news: My bargain disciple is a great demon, and I think he's got his sights set on me.

The demon's acting is terrible. His devoted-lover persona is hanging by a thread, and every day he's either about to give himself away or is in the middle of doing so.

Demon Jiang Zhuo can't figure it out: How did he find out?

Lou Jin: ...

You want to act devoted? Could you at least put in a little effort?

Eventually, Jiang Zhuo gives up pretending. Lou Jin finally figures out that Jiang Zhuo's reason for approaching him is probably to turn him into a cultivation furnace, so he can revive the former Demon Lord, whose soul dispersed centuries ago.

But here's the question.

Isn't he the former Demon Lord?

*

It may sound ridiculous, but Immortal Lou Jin really is the former Demon Lord Rulian, who once ruled the six realms and made them all bow before him.

Jiang Zhuo scoffs. "Stop pretending. You're nothing like him."

Until later, when he sees this man fall into demonic cultivation right in front of him. The demonic energy that shoots into the sky awakens every lost soul and wandering spirit across the six realms.

The lunatic stands amid demonic energy that blocks out the sky and sun, with the vast heavens beneath his feet. He arrogantly curls a finger at Jiang Zhuo.

"Come over here. I'll show you whether I'm pretending."

Former Demon Lord with incredible acting skills x current Demon Lord with mediocre acting skills

Lou Jin (Rulian) x Jiang Zhuo (Fuyan)

Reading guide:

1. Lou is the top and Jiang is the bottom. Both are powerful. Happy ending. It may get pretty melodramatic.

2. Older top, fake master-disciple relationship. The top will get stronger. The top is strong, the top is super strong (repeating this because it's important).

3. Lots of personal worldbuilding. A mix of sweetness and angst (probably).

4. Before the bottom's secret identity is exposed, he may seem kind of silly and cute, but trust me, they're both powerful.

5. The author is useless qvq. I'll listen to reasonable feedback and work hard to improve, but if you're dropping the story, you don't have to tell me. I'll sob uncontrollably.

Warm on the outside, cold within, devious and venomous bottom Jiang Bie x proud, unruly, lovesick stray-dog top Huo Wugui

--

An unexpected visitor arrived at Yuyun Valley, with formidable martial arts and the ability to come and go like the wind.

At their first meeting, he struck Jiang Bie so hard he couldn't lift a hand.

After much thought, Jiang Bie decided to use the man's help to escape the sect.

The first thing he did after escaping was visit the grave of an old friend who had died by the blade fifteen years ago while protecting him.

--

On a bare hill stood a bare grave.

As a gentle breeze blew, the unexpected visitor, Huo Wugui, watched the man kneel in reverence and felt an inexplicable anger rise within him.

He hadn't caught the valley master, he'd accidentally been hit by Jiang Bie's poisoned dart, and the antidote was in Jiang Bie's hands.

And it looked like Jiang Bie wasn't particularly keen on handing it over.

Huo Wugui was about to urge Jiang Bie to hurry up when he suddenly caught sight of the name carved on the tombstone, identifying who had erected it.

It was the very name of the beautiful older brother who had taught him to read and write, the one he'd spent fifteen years searching for.

Theme: Strive to improve yourself. Hard work will pay off.
