Huh? You're a Demon King Too?!

Everyone in the demon realm says Hua Jueyan is lucky.

Born into the peony clan, famed as the "First Family of the Northern Region," he is the only son of the Northern Demon King and the undisputed young lord of the City of a Hundred Flowers.

They also say that this young lord of the Northern Region has a heart of gold.

When Hua Jueyan was ten thousand years old, a pregnant woman once stopped his carriage while he was out. She said she had come from the Southern Region and wanted to beg the young lord for a meal.

Hua Jueyan was puzzled. "..."

Has my good reputation really reached all the way to the Southern Region???

Feeling sorry for her, Hua Jueyan took the woman back to the City Lord's Manor.

A few months later,

the woman gave birth to a son.

Another hundred years passed.

The woman died, leaving the child behind.

Following the principle of "help someone all the way," the young lord had no choice but to take the child in for the time being. He thought he would send him back to the Southern Region once the child reached a thousand years of age.

But the stubborn child said he wanted to repay his kindness and refused to return to the Southern Region no matter what. One thing led to another, and they remained together for another ten thousand years.

Until one day, an accident happened.

Hua Jueyan woke up in his own courtyard. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground.

Looking again, he saw someone else lying beside him.

The young lord went pale with fright, thinking, This is it. I'm done for.

In this situation, sending the child back to the Southern Region would be far too heartless. But if he didn't send him away, he might hold the child back from advancing in his cultivation...

Hua Jueyan thinks his luck is only halfway good, at best.

The first fifty thousand years of his life went smoothly, but then he went on a long trip. When he returned from his cultivation, the Northern Region had undergone a great upheaval.

His parents were killed, and the City Lord's Manor was burned to the ground.

He went mad and fought for days and nights, then rightfully became the new king of the Northern Region.

Only belatedly did Hua Jueyan remember that the person he had raised from childhood was missing. Word was that he had fled back to the Southern Region during the upheaval in the North.

"Now that he's mine, he'll be mine for the rest of his life. No matter how far away he runs, he'll have to come back to me." From that day on, the Northern Demon King made frequent trips to the Southern Region. Over time, his subordinates all began saying he was neglecting his duties.

Hua Jueyan searched for Xiu for twenty thousand years.

No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find him.

What he never expected was that the day he reunited with Xiu after their long separation would be in the Demon Emperor's Hall.

Not long before, word had spread throughout the demon realm that a new Demon King had taken the throne in the Southern Region. The man before him was that new king. "My surname is Ji, my given name is Xiu, and my courtesy name is Huaiqian. It's a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to working with you all."

Hua Jueyan was on the verge of losing his mind.

But he kept his face calm.

At their second meeting after the reunion, the Demon Emperor assigned them a task. Hua Jueyan deliberately ignored his orders, pushed Ji Xiu down onto the bed, and reached to strip off his clothes. "Lord Ji, it's been a while."

"Hua... Mo." The other man stopped him from going any further and called him by name.

After knowing each other for so many years, this was the first time Hua Jueyan had learned Xiu's surname. And the same went for Xiu. He used to address him respectfully, but now he called him by his full name.

They had changed. The two of them had changed. Everything had changed.

Reader's Guide:

1. The leads are both naive and clueless about their feelings early on. Only after reuniting following a long separation do they gradually realize how they feel about each other. They're almost completely oblivious, and only understand each other at the very end.

The story is told from the top's point of view, so some things are misunderstood by both sides. These misunderstandings will be cleared up later, and the two leads will fall in love.

2. The overall tone includes sweetness (early on), angst (both have tragic backgrounds), and wild melodrama. The focus is on the relationship between the leads, not the plot. The two Demon Kings are madly in love with each other.

3. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

Qianmo is the official pairing. No switching or splitting them up.

Beautiful, flirtatious top Hua Jueyan × handsome, taciturn bottom Ji Huaiqian

Qianmo is just a catchy name for their couple!

P.P.S. The top is a peony, and the bottom is a venomous scorpion.
