The Immortal Lord's Guide to Taming Dragons

A practice piece written with the entire manuscript already completed. The logic and plot are both very chaotic, so it is not recommended. Novel Blurb Cool and aloof immortal lord who is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, the pursued one x proud, unruly, a little sly and a little crazy dragon clan friend, the pursuer Jiang Xian x Xie Jiuxiao A story about how I thought of you as my best friend, but you actually had designs on me, and how in the end, best friends became lovers, and lovers as well as best friends. The best-friends-to-lovers trope. Are you two really best friends and not lovers? Best friends are just an excuse for two men to be together. 1. Jiang Xian is the Crane-Clear Immortal Lord of the Celestial Cloud Mirror, second only to the ruler and above all others. The Outcast. The Crane-Clear Immortal Lord has a best friend. Everyone in the Three Realms thinks the Crane-Clear Immortal Lord and his best friend are lovers, not friends. "Did you hear? The Crane-Clear Immortal Lord just finished a mission and ran off to Dragon Valley again!" "I've seen him going to Dragon Valley every day. Whose best friend sticks that close?" "Are they really best friends and not lovers?" Jiang Xian: "Thanks for asking. We're best friends, not lovers." 2. Jiang Xian had no worldly desires and had worked diligently for the Imperial Lord for three thousand years without ever slacking off. He thought that from then on, his life would be a peaceful one as an immortal lord: working for the Imperial Lord and going down to the mortal realm to handle affairs, then occasionally taking a vacation to find his best friend, drink together, and talk about their lives and ideals. But one unexpected event after another came along. "Xian, fate cannot be defied. I told you this from the very beginning." Jiang Xian slept for a thousand years, and only after he woke did he learn the truth. His best friend had also died because of this so-called "fate cannot be defied." Overcome with grief, Jiang Xian left the Celestial Cloud Mirror, where he had been trapped for three thousand years, all alone. Only after leaving the Celestial Cloud Mirror did he suddenly realize something. He had worked for three thousand years for nothing, without earning even a single copper coin! Jiang Xian looked at his completely empty wallet. Was it too late to go up to Heaven and demand back pay from the Imperial Lord? 3. His best friend died, and his best friend came back to life. Jiang Xian discovered that during the thousand years his best friend had been dead, the friend he used to support had secretly gotten rich behind his back! As a wage slave, Jiang Xian thought to himself, "I wonder how much I could earn working for my best friend..." Best friend: "My money is your money, little Daoist. You don't have to be polite with me. Spend whatever you like." Jiang Xian: "Really? Then I won't hold back. We'll be best friends for life!" Jiang Xian was delighted that his best friend had gotten rich, thinking that he too would never have to worry about food or clothes for the rest of his life. But he never expected that the look in his best friend's eyes as he watched him would grow stranger and stranger... In any case, it definitely wasn't the kind of look best friends should have for each other. Only later, when his ravenous best friend pinned him down and started gnawing on him, did he realize their friendship might not be entirely innocent. Jiang Xian: "Are you a dog?" Best friend: "Woof." Jiang Xian: "?" Something seemed a little strange. 4. Later, Jiang Xian kept feeling that kissing, holding hands, and hugging were a little inappropriate between best friends. He asked his best friend, "Don't you think our friendship has gotten kind of abnormal?" Best friend: "No. Good friends should kiss, hold hands, and hug." Jiang Xian: Something about this feels a little off... What best friends kiss on the mouth? Reading Guide: 1.

Blurb for The Divine Official's Guide to Training Dogs Couple: Ji Ci x You Wuwang Cool, aloof, unfeeling, gloomy beauty of a divine official, the pursued one x a deranged, love-starved evil ghost who is, at heart, just a madman, the pursuer 1. Ji Ci, the divine official in charge of the Ghost Exorcism Office of the Divine Heaven Domain, is the number-one workaholic in the Divine Heaven Domain. To fill in the missing records of the hundred ghosts in the Book of a Hundred Ghosts, he volunteered to go down to the lower realm. In the lower realm, Ji Ci came across a white-haired little puppy who seemed very obedient. A vicious ghost was hurting people on the road. You Wuwang: "Big Brother Divine Official, there are so many ghosts here. I'm scared!" Ji Ci: "...Hide behind me." The vicious ghost was subdued. You Wuwang: "Big Brother Divine Official is so amazing! Big Brother Divine Official is so mighty!" From then on, a little white-haired puppy followed him everywhere. Ji Ci thought, I might as well keep a puppy for amusement. 2. You Wuwang was an evil ghost who had fought his way through countless ghosts in the Ten-Thousand-Layered Hell and finally clawed his way out. He hated Ji Ci, hated the eternally lofty Ji Ci. Evil ghosts are evil by nature. Whenever he saw Ji Ci, he couldn't control the increasingly sinister feelings in his heart. The malice in his heart kept growing... But only after Ji Ci discovered his true nature and came to despise him completely did he realize it. He might have made a mistake. 3. The mad dog put shackles on himself, handed the chain to the cool, unfeeling divine official, and begged for his forgiveness. "A Ci, what do you really think of me?" Ji Ci thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "A dog." You Wuwang was a lot like a dog. Not a well-behaved dog who would be petted by its owner, but a mad dog that would be abandoned. There was no point in trying to train a mad dog. Ji Ci dropped the chain and resolutely returned to the Divine Heaven Domain, but he didn't notice that the once-obedient dog before him was growing more and more deranged... 4. Ji Ci never expected that one day the dog he had raised would turn on him. The Pure Lord Sword was pointed straight at You Wuwang, and Ji Ci's eyes remained as cold as ever. "What are you going crazy for?" You Wuwang gripped the sword at his throat, his expression sinister and excited. "A Ci, A Ci, do you want to kill me? If it's you..." He had already entered Hell. It would be fine to die at A Ci's hands. "Madman." He was a madman. "A Ci really... guessed right." "I'm a madman." Core Theme: Break free from the cage of fate.
