After the Sickly Beauty Adoptive Father Is Exposed

[Fake Father and Son | Both Have Lost Their Memories] A slow-witted beauty x a devoted, long-suffering loyalist

-

Yun Ming, an Outer Sect disciple of exceptional talent, began cultivating the Dao at seventeen and broke through three realms in just one month. Once he won the sect tournament and entered the Inner Sect, his future would be limitless, if only he didn't have a sickly adoptive father.

His father was a frail widower with a bad memory who couldn't even remember his own name. Everyone simply called him "Mr. Yun."

Mr. Yun was gentle and strikingly handsome, but his meridians were blocked, leaving him destined to be an ordinary mortal. No matter how beautiful he was, he was a burden.

But Yun Ming refused to believe that.

His father couldn't lift or carry anything, so Yun Ming worked himself to the bone taking on jobs to support them. When his frail, soft-hearted father was harassed by spoiled young masters, Yun Ming kept a close watch and beat the Outer Sect troublemakers until they knew better.

He would stay by his father's side forever.

Everyone said this promising young cultivator would ruin his future through filial devotion. Sure enough, Yun Ming was ambushed during the sect tournament and nearly had his cultivation foundation destroyed.

At the critical moment, the pressure of a great cultivator suddenly descended. The Inner Sect cultivators hovering in the clouds dropped to their knees in fear and bowed in unison to Lord Yueheng.

The protagonist of countless plays and stories, Lord Yueheng Yun Qian, who had made his name in the war between immortals and demons a thousand years ago.

Yun Ming, who had narrowly survived the disaster, knelt on the stage. He looked up, but there was no immortal lord in sight. Instead, his father stood before him, clad in white like a god from the heavens, his aura ethereal as he slapped Yun Ming across the face. "Did you really have to play the hero?"

Yun Ming could only think: So his name was Yun Qian.

-

When one person ascends to immortality, even their pets and chickens benefit. With Yun Qian's identity restored, his adopted son also became a direct disciple of the Inner Sect.

As Lord Yueheng's memories slowly returned and he reunited with old friends and companions, everything seemed to be looking up. Only Yun Ming grew more and more depressed.

He was no longer the only one in Yun Qian's life.

The Inner Sect elders would laugh and chat with Yun Qian, then glance at Yun Ming with pity and sigh, as though they were looking through him at someone else.

Yun Ming searched the sect from top to bottom and found a scroll depicting the immortals from a thousand years ago.

Back then, Lord Yueheng had still been young. He stood smiling with one arm around a young man who looked nearly identical to him, the two of them painted side by side with effortless closeness.

That was the other protagonist in the stories.

Lord Duchen, Wang Ming, Yun Qian's junior fellow disciple and childhood friend who had died in the war.

...So he had never been the only one in Yun Qian's life.

-

The stories said that everyone knew Lord Duchen and Lord Yueheng shared a profound bond, only for fate to cruelly tear the lovers apart.

Yun Qian felt entirely wronged.

When Wang Ming died, the whole world assumed they had been lovers. Yun Qian had simply gone into seclusion and missed a great deal. His archrival had even become his late husband in the rumors.

That bastard Wang Ming had totally set him up!

As punishment, it was only fair that after Wang Ming was reborn and lost his memories, he took Yun Qian's surname and called him Father.

Unexpectedly, years later, the young man would climb into Yun Qian's bed night after night, rubbing against him intimately as he whispered, "What does he have that makes you like him? Father... I could learn to be like him, too."

Yun Qian: "Get out of here. Your father is going to die of heat."

[Bonus Scene]

Yun Qian: Thanks for asking. I'm at the sect, just out of seclusion. I'm going to bring that Wang Ming back to life and clear things up.

Wang Ming (the version Yun Xiaoming's wife brought back to life): Get married? What marriage? Father, who are you marrying, some no-good person?

Yun Qian: ...Our kid doesn't know any better. Please excuse him.

1. They were rival senior and junior brothers before being reborn. Afterward, both lost their memories and became adoptive father and son. The older one becomes the younger one, and both times, the gong falls first. The gong's memory loss is because he was reborn in a new life; the shou is frail and lost his memories after bringing the gong back to life.

2. Both the gong and shou are physically and emotionally pure, 1v1.
