My Inner Demon Keeps Trying to Break My Heartless Dao [Selfcest]

Zhong Liyu is the most insignificant side character in a danmei novel. At least the other side characters have names. When people talk about him, they only ever say two words: heart demon.

That's right, he's the heart demon of the protagonist Gong, Zhong Huaiyu. He's the strand of affection Zhong Huaiyu cut away with his sword long ago, and one of the biggest obstacles on Immortal Lord Huaiyu's path of the Ruthless Dao.

One of the obstacles, because there's another person too: the protagonist Shou, Ruan Ziyu.

The most talented young disciple in the history of the Hehuan Sect, with a face like peach blossoms and eyes full of affection, he's had a fling with nearly every young genius in the cultivation world.

The only exception is Immortal Lord Huaiyu, the untouchable flower atop the peak in Yingchuan.

After Ruan Ziyu hit a wall with Zhong Huaiyu, he started chasing him relentlessly, determined to break his Ruthless Dao and drag him into the mortal world.

In the original story, Immortal Lord Huaiyu rejected him more than ten thousand times. His heart was as hard as stone, but in the end, he still lost to fate.

An accident caused Ruan Ziyu's soul to leave his body and enter Immortal Lord Huaiyu's sea of consciousness.

The two shared one body, and as they spent more time together, they fell for each other.

Once affection took root again, Immortal Lord Huaiyu could no longer cultivate the Ruthless Dao.

From then on, he fell from the altar into the mortal world, becoming just like everyone else.

Anyone else reading this plot might say, "The Great Dao is heartless, but people are not."

But not Zhong Liyu.

Ever since he learned that there was an original plot, all he thought about was how to replace Zhong Huaiyu.

Zhong Huaiyu was lost in love and neglected the Great Dao. Zhong Liyu would never do that.

It's just the Ruthless Dao. If you won't cultivate it, then I will!

Ruan Ziyu ran into trouble while cultivating. When he woke again, he was already inside Immortal Lord Huaiyu's body.

Realizing this, Ruan Ziyu was overjoyed. In the blink of an eye, he had already thought of more than ten thousand ways to seduce the other man.

Little did he know that the moment he opened his eyes in the sea of consciousness, a wild young man who looked exactly like Immortal Lord Huaiyu was staring at him arrogantly.

"Three people sharing one body is a bit much, so you can just go ahead and die."

With that, he lunged at him with his sword.

Ruan Ziyu hadn't even figured out what was happening before the other man chased him out at swordpoint.

Zhong Huaiyu was born with a Dao body and was an exceptional cultivation genius.

To cultivate the Ruthless Dao, he'd cut away his own strand of affection with a sword when he was still young.

What he didn't know was that after he severed it, that strand quietly took root in his sea of consciousness, sprouted, and eventually grew into his heart demon.

Now, just one look at him makes Zhong Huaiyu want to say:

Who cares about this damn Ruthless Dao? Whoever wants it can cultivate it.
