The Heart of the Classic of Mountains and Seas Knows No Light

A cool, reserved, playing-hard-to-get shou x a spoiled, scheming tea-green gong

Tan Zhui had originally sealed off his mountain sect and spent his days slacking off, eating, drinking, and sleeping, enjoying the carefree life of a retired immortal.

No one knew who had abandoned a child at the sect's entrance. Perhaps they thought the White Deer Immortal Lord was having too good a time.

Tan Zhui gave the child the name Sui Chunsheng, took him in, and made him his final disciple.

He'd planned to keep the sect going and have someone for company. But the older the child grew, the more Tan Zhui realized he was an incredible cook! (He really does cook.)

Tan Zhui grew more and more fond of his disciple, never realizing when that affection changed into something else.

One day, Tan Zhui was overcome by an aphrodisiac incense, and his beloved disciple took full advantage of him.

His eyes blurred with tears. He bit his tongue to stay alert. "You mustn't... You mustn't..."

Sui Chunsheng: "Master, mustn't what?"

"We mustn't do something so outrageous..."

"Master, you and I were made for this kind of outrageousness."

His beloved disciple had become a wicked disciple.

When the scandal came to light, heavenly soldiers surrounded them.

Tan Zhui ran his sword through the wicked disciple's heart and cast him down from the mountain, watching his former beloved disciple fall to his death.

Many years later, he never expected that the wicked disciple would one day march an army against the Ninth Heaven.

"Hand over the White Deer Immortal Lord, and I'll withdraw my troops at once."

And so the dignified White Deer Immortal Lord was taken back to the Demon Lord's military camp.

He thought the Demon Lord would avenge that sword thrust and thoroughly torment the former immortal lord.

But instead, the Demon Lord took him home and married him, just to torment and ravage him in a different place.

Reader's guide: 1. The story is mainly told from the shou's perspective, though some events are also narrated from the gong's perspective.

2. The gong is a little sweet on the outside, dark on the inside, but he's always been completely lovesick. Everything he does is for his master.

3. This is a sweet romance, so everything serves to build the relationship between the two.

4. The extras will include childbirth. (Skip the extras if that's not for you.)

The blurb for the upcoming story is below:

A brash, dashing, free-spirited shou x a sinister, sulky, abstinent gong.

Que Bufei was born into the world as a cannon-fodder NPC and spent years wandering the jianghu. His habit of meddling in other people's business made him plenty of enemies.

The most troublesome of them all was the original novel's great villain, Shen Yintong, whom he'd accidentally offended.

That's right, Shen Yintong, the three-character prison warden of the Shen family of Wucheng, who backed the Crown Prince and plotted regicide and rebellion.

The murderous, wicked, heinous, vile, depraved, shameless, deranged, vicious, monstrous, beastly...

And also devastatingly handsome great villain, Shen Yintong.

Que Bufei once thought, "Maybe... maybe he's not that bad?"

What if all that was just prejudice from reading the original story? Shouldn't he set aside his preconceptions and treat Shen Zhuo like a normal person? He couldn't keep thinking of him as a fictional character forever...

"Of course, it's definitely not because he's so handsome. I'm not a sucker for good looks." (Woof.)

Until someone left him covered in bruises, turning him into a spotted sucker for good looks.

Que Bufei let out a long howl. "To hell with you! You're a sneaky bastard! Go die alone!!!!!!"

That curse sounded like a spell, and now he had to pay for it with himself.

What a terrible deal.

After Shen Zhuo's family died, he was left alone to navigate the schemes and intrigues of the court and its clans. He'd seen plenty in his time.

But this was the first time he'd met someone this shameless.

Cutting corners, stirring up trouble with every word, and utterly shameless.

A libertine, leaving a trail of broken hearts wherever he went.

A careless busybody who stuck his nose into everything and caused trouble.

And yet, somehow, he'd found his way into Shen Zhuo's heart.

So Shen Zhuo painstakingly schemed until he finally managed to hold that swordsman in his hands.

But the other man didn't struggle at all. He held Shen Zhuo close and sighed softly, "This is the life."

But there was no chance to return him anymore.

We're the best match in the world.

The dignified one pairs with the shameless one. The quiet one pairs with the one who can't stop talking.
