Maxing Out His Affection Before Faking My Death

My next novel, The Crown Prince Caught Me After I Ran Away, opens on August 13. The blurb is at the very bottom. Please add it to your collection! 1. Zhu Wenqi transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder character who shared his name in a xianxia novel. The protagonist was a peerless prodigy, born to a tragic fate and possessed of a twisted personality. As his master, the cannon-fodder did not guide him onto the right path. Instead, consumed by jealousy, he made things difficult for him at every turn, nearly killing him several times. The protagonist overcame countless trials and tribulations before finally ascending to immortality, while the cannon-fodder met the fate of being turned into a human pig. Zhu Wenqi: "..." Wait, is it still too late for me to run? Looking at Lou Wei, the protagonist and male lead who had just become his disciple, he wanted to cry. To make matters worse, Zhu Wenqi discovered that he had lost all his cultivation. Great. Now it really was too late to run. 2. Every day, Zhu Wenqi lived in fear, trying to hide the fact that he had lost his cultivation while also making sure Lou Wei didn't get annoyed and turn him into a human pig. To escape his impossible predicament, Zhu Wenqi started raising Lou Wei's affection for him. When Lou Wei got sick, he brought him medicine. When Lou Wei got into a fight, he took the blows for him. When Lou Wei got into trouble, he took the blame... Just as he was about to max out Lou Wei's affection, one day Lou Wei committed a terrible crime. Zhu Wenqi said that, as his master, he had failed to discipline him properly, and voluntarily stepped down as sect leader to take Lou Wei's punishment in his place. Lou Wei knelt in a pool of blood, his long hair obscuring his strikingly handsome face and hiding his expression. Zhu Wenqi looked calm, but inside he was thrilled. Yes! At last, it was time for his favorite fake-death escape! 3. After leaving the sect, Zhu Wenqi began a happy life of good food and drink. Until Lou Wei appeared in front of him. Zhu Wenqi's hand shook, and his pastry fell to the ground. As he frantically tried to figure out an escape route, Lou Wei suddenly grabbed his wrist. His eyes, dark as ink, stared right at Zhu Wenqi. "Master... I've missed you so much." Zhu Wenqi: "..." Oh no. In that last round, I accidentally maxed out his affection. #What do I do when my disciple has designs on me? Asking online, urgent!# 1. On the day Xie Nian was born, dark clouds covered the sky as thunder and lightning raged. The Imperial Preceptor declared him an ill omen who would bring disaster to the country. Upon hearing this, the Emperor swept out, and for over a decade afterward ignored him completely, as if he had never been born. To avoid becoming a sacrificial pawn in the struggle for imperial power, Xie Nian disguised himself as a girl and lived in the palace in constant fear, walking on eggshells. The others looked down on his low birth and wanted nothing to do with him. Only Xie Gaochan was somewhat close to him. When they were little, Xie Nian had dared to trail after Xie Gaochan, calling him "Big Brother Crown Prince" every other breath. Now, whenever he saw Xie Gaochan, Xie Nian could only lower his eyes, bow, and softly say, "Your Highness." Xie Nian did not dare offend the Crown Prince. He only hoped that Xie Gaochan would remember their old friendship and put in a good word for him with the Emperor when it was time for him to marry, so he could wed into a good family. The Emperor had been in a good mood lately and arranged for him to marry that year's top scholar. On the day he came of age, Xie Nian wore a phoenix crown and red wedding robes. His features were as lovely as a painting, dazzling to behold. On his wedding night, Xie Nian waited calmly for the groom to lift his veil. The red cloth in front of him was lifted, but the face he saw was Xie Gaochan's. His features were sharp, his eyes dark as ink. Xie Nian's expression remained calm, yet he sensed a faint madness lurking beneath the surface. Xie Gaochan's gaze was gentle. He stroked Xie Nian's cheek with his fingertips and spoke in a low, hoarse voice. "Niannian, why won't you behave?" "Why are you marrying someone else... Have you forgotten our promise?" 2.
