I'm a Heartthrob, Yet I Cultivate the Way of Ruthlessness

The blurb for the upcoming novel, The Frail Fake Young Master Is Everyone's Favorite, is at the very bottom. [A seemingly aloof, untouchable master who is actually a devoted, many-faceted puppy of an attacker x a cheerful, universally adored, naturally emotionless-path recipient] After the disciple selection at Tiancheng Sect ended, Venerable Xiaohui, who had never taken on a disciple before, made an exception and accepted a mortal boy as his apprentice. The sect's disciples had just two impressions of the always-smiling young man. First, his thin red lips and peach blossom eyes, along with the faint smile on his face, gave him the look of someone who was fickle in love. Second, he had personally carved a memorial tablet for his childhood sweetheart, his late husband. He was clearly a deeply affectionate person. He was such a well-behaved, lovable junior brother. Even though he had become a widower at a young age, countless people still coveted him. * Qi Sang stole the show at the disciple selection that year and became an apprentice to the venerable immortal of Fuxue Hall. Xie Tingjue, Lord Xiaohui, had a sword cultivator's bones and an immortal's bearing. He was halfway to sainthood, and countless people looked up to him. Though Qi Sang came from the countryside, he was strikingly handsome, clever, and exceptionally diligent. Faced with such a jade-like, well-behaved junior brother, everyone in the sect couldn't help looking after him. The young master of Wanbao Pavilion took to him at first sight. His taciturn senior brother patiently guided him in swordsmanship. Even his usually cold and unapproachable master would use the hand that wielded his sword to pluck flowers for him. Qi Sang had no idea that desire was growing in their hearts. Every day, he practiced his swordsmanship, often had extra meals, and occasionally wiped down his late husband's memorial tablet. Until Someone left him the complete set of The First Step to Becoming a Homewrecker. Someone else covered his late husband's memorial tablet with a piece of cloth. Qi Sang lifted the cloth covering the memorial tablet. “...?” You people. You're so weird. * After Qi Sang learned the basics of swordsmanship, Xie Tingjue asked him which path he wished to cultivate. Everyone guessed he would choose the Path of All Beings. Its merciful nature was perfect for someone as softhearted as him. But Qi Sang shook his head, his resolve firm. “Master, I want to cultivate the Emotionless Path.” Xie Tingjue offered a calm word of advice, as if he had no selfish motives whatsoever. “The Emotionless Path requires you to sever all love and affection. It isn't right for you.” Qi Sang tilted his head, a perfectly measured look of confusion and innocence on his fair face. “How can you know it isn't right for me if I haven't tried it, Master?” Xie Tingjue fell silent for a moment, then said no more. Only the hand hidden beneath his sleeve clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning pale. The Venerable Xiaohui, whom the world regarded as free of all emotion and desire, was in truth just a mortal with a full range of feelings.

The next novel I'm planning to write is an upcoming story about an arrogant, universally adored young master~ The Frail Fake Young Master Is Everyone's Favorite Jiang Zhuoshuang, the young master of the Jiang family, is the “campus belle” of S University's music department. He has been frail and sickly since childhood, and always carries the bitter fragrance of Chinese medicine about him. His parents dote on him, and his only older brother, Jiang Wu, spoils him rotten. As a result, Jiang Zhuoshuang has an awful temper. The young master also has a boyfriend from a poor family, Xie Lian. Every day, someone asks on the forum: [Has that foul-tempered young master from the music department broken up with his boyfriend yet?] Even after their identities are exposed, people insist they just want to see the haughty young master Jiang get dumped. But everyone knows... They're all coveting the jade-like young master for his looks. Of course, they're no different. * Jiang Zhuoshuang never expected dating to be such a pain. He'd only wanted to find someone at random to fend off all those annoying suitors, but instead he'd gotten involved with someone even more annoying. Just as he was figuring out how to break up gracefully, he suddenly received an anonymously sent video. In it, Xie Lian held two paternity test reports. Xie Lian was the real young master of the Jiang family. Jiang Zhuoshuang was only a fake young master, switched at birth. The video had been filmed half a month before Jiang Zhuoshuang and Xie Lian got together. Jiang Zhuoshuang: ? What kind of melodramatic plot is this? The real young master seduced the fake one to get revenge? Xie Lian, you've got some nerve. * The day after Jiang Zhuoshuang blocked him, Xie Lian was taken back to the Jiang family estate. Jiang Wu sat on the sofa without looking at him. The young head of the family had his beloved younger brother seated beside him. Jiang Zhuoshuang's eyes and brows were full of mockery. “So you're my second older brother.” Jiang Wu silently indulged his younger brother's audacity. They were intimate with each other, far more so than ordinary brothers. Xie Lian lowered his eyes in silence, his knuckles pale. ...Jiang Zhuoshuang treated him like a stranger. * He hadn't been kicked out of the Jiang family. But Jiang Zhuoshuang had a new problem now. After the breakup, Xie Lian seemed to have become even more shamelessly clingy. And Jiang Zhuoshuang had started receiving some strange text messages.
