[Cold, sharp-tongued wolf cub transformed into a lovesick fool x carefree beauty, sword spirit turned sword cultivator]

Yan Qiming, the junior uncle of Sword Peak, loves teasing cats and dogs and despises demonic cultivators. One morning, he wakes up in the Demon Realm, trapped inside an ordinary iron sword and forced to become the sword spirit of a foul-mouthed, hard-headed demonic cultivator.

The demonic cultivator is young but has a terrible temper, like a wolf cub. He doesn't take care of his sword at all and even thinks Yan Qiming talks too much!

Without spiritual power, Yan Qiming tries to use the name of his life-bound sword to strike up a conversation: “Just call me Qinghan.”

The wolf cub: “You might as well call yourself Noisy.”

Yan Qiming: “...”

Yan... Qinghan tries to talk him around: “A sword is the foundation of a sword cultivator. I, ahem, my former master said that a sword spirit is a wife, and you should treat your sword like one.”

The wolf cub: “I'm a demonic cultivator. You don't have a former master. A wife...”

The wolf cub gives a scornful laugh: “What's a wife?”

Yan Qiming: “...”

Fine. Not having a wife is probably for the best.

The wolf cub is impossible to persuade. But later, Yan Qiming discovers that the boy secretly maintains him at night with a straight face, and even breaks into an immortal sect to scour its books for a single crack in his blade.

When the Qinghan Sword breaks and its spirit dissipates, Yan Qiming pats the little cub on the head and tells him not to grieve. But the boy's eyes turn red as he roars, “You dare!” You dare to die!

He does dare. He dies, and he goes back.

Hey, he blocks their Dao companion contract and plans to pretend he doesn't know him.

He even takes his battered life-bound sword to provoke the demons.

Someone points at the sword and starts laughing. Before he can even get a few words out, the newly crowned Demon Lord pins him down and kills him.

From the high platform, the Demon Lord turns and glares fiercely at his sword.

Yan Qiming: Huh?

-

Si Xinghe is a loner who trusts no living thing.

Then, during a trial of life and death, the broken sword he was given suddenly speaks, sounding lazy and completely unserious.

The sword is shameless, spoiled, can't tell friend from foe, and is utterly useless. It clings to him every day, saying, “A sword spirit is a wife, so you have to treat me well!”

What a load of nonsense!

Si Xinghe coldly feeds it spiritual energy and wipes it with a soft cloth. “Eat, then shut up.” Stop trying to seduce him.

Once they're out, he'll throw this broken sword...

After they get out, Si Xinghe searches and searches until he finally finds Qinghan again.

The sword is battered and hanging from someone else's waist. That person watches others mock him without a care and treats him badly.

The sword spirit's words from the past still ring in his ears: [I, ahem, my former master said you should treat your sword like a wife.]

Treat the sword like a wife? Looking at the sword cultivator's calm face, Si Xinghe is consumed by rage.

Forget that former master. I'll kill him right away and take my wife back!

Next up: I Picked Up a Skeleton Immortal Venerable, Then Tossed Him Aside

Xie Chenyuan x Chi Lang, world-weary immortal venerable gong, skeleton-obsessed shou

Chi Lang has three great loves: survival, hoarding supplies, and rolling beads between his fingers.

When he transmigrates as a ghost flame in the ruins of an ancient battlefield, he gets all three at once. The little ghost flame Chi Lang is overjoyed. Every day, he rummages through the trash and decorates his little home with all the glittering treasures he finds.

Until he finds the skeleton of his dreams.

“Wow!” Chi Lang's eyes go wide. He tosses everything aside and throws himself at the smooth, translucent bones, hugging them tight. “You're so beautiful!”

The bones hum, “Get lost!”

Chi Lang: “???”

The bones are gorgeous. Their only flaw is an annoying voice inside them, barely clinging to life. Chi Lang doesn't care. He carries them home, decorates them, and keeps polishing them until they shine brighter and brighter.

The bones are listless. They don't care where they are and have no interest in talking to him.

Chi Lang keeps testing the waters day after day. Sigh, when are you going to fade away, lingering soul?

As he waits and waits, the bones suddenly disappear! Heartbroken, Chi Lang gathers his junk, packs his things, and leaves his little home to search all over the cultivation world.

...And finds a very powerful immortal venerable.

The immortal venerable stands tall and straight, looking at him with haughty eyes. Chi Lang: “...”

Oh no! His bones have grown flesh! They don't look good at all!

-

Xie Chenyuan has forgotten many things. He only remembers that everything in the world is annoying.

Until a lively voice shatters the silence: “Wow! You're so beautiful!”

A little ghost flame who covets his looks.

The ghost flame is annoying and utterly infatuated with him, groping him all over every day and wanting to talk to him about everything.

If Xie Chenyuan weren't too lazy to lift a hand, the breeze it raised could snuff him out.

“So beautiful!” The little ghost flame praises him again, its ghostly flames glowing as its eyes sparkle.

This is what he calls beautiful? Back when Xie Chenyuan was human, his face was the undisputed pinnacle of beauty in the Three Realms.

Xie Chenyuan thinks lazily, Hmph. What does this brat know?

One day, I'll show him... Wife, why did you run away after taking one look at me?!!!

The Wish-Granting Divine Lantern: Touch Me and Help Me Become Human!

Gentle gentleman turned villainous power minister Xie Yun'an x adorable, timid, fussy lantern spirit Su Ran

Su Ran transmigrates into a book, becoming the beloved of the protagonist who dies young after his family is punished and stripped of its wealth... or rather, a paper lantern on the desk in the background.

Good news: he's not sickly. Bad news: he's not even human.

With a flimsy paper skin that could tear at the slightest touch, Su Ran: “...?”

Fortunately, Su Ran soon discovers he's no ordinary lantern. He's a wish-granting divine lantern that can accumulate the power of wishes! His eyes dart around. Who says a divine lantern can only grant wishes for other people?

So he sets his sights on the gentle and even-tempered beloved.

.

Xie Yun'an, heir to the Duke's estate, is a consummate gentleman, as refined as jade, graceful in word and deed, until

The lantern on his desk becomes a spirit.

The lantern sways wildly, then bounces into his hand with a thump. “Hurry, touch me! Tell me I'm the strongest, most handsome lantern!”

Xie Yun'an hesitates. “...Strong?”

The lantern rubs against his hand impatiently. “Come on, touch me! Strong, sturdy, durable... Ahem, you know what I mean.”

Xie Yun'an: “?”

The lantern bumps against his chest. “Don't stop! Say you really wish I'd become human. Hurry, say it while you touch me!”

Xie Yun'an's earlobes turn red, and he subtly leans away.

He gently cups Su Ran in his palm, his expression sincere and devout. “A Ran, I'm sure you'll become a handsome and sturdy person.”

.

Later, Su Ran really does become human, but Xie Yun'an's family is also punished and stripped of its wealth.

He sneaks back to the capital, disguised as a young eunuch, and slips into a nighttime banquet.

Beneath the imperial steps, he sees the once-gentle and refined young man seated high above, clad in a crimson python robe, his eyes cold as he manipulates the political landscape.

Su Ran's eyes go wide.

How did the beloved turn into the big bad?!!!

[Bonus scene]

Xie Yun'an draws Su Ran into his arms. His eyes darken as his fingers trace Su Ran's slender yet firm waist. His low, hoarse voice brushes against his ear, warm and damp:

“The wish worked quite well. You really are... sturdy.”

Su Ran: Mmph, mmph, mmph, mmph, mmph! I am not, I didn't...

A tear gathers in the corner of his faintly reddened eye. I'm not sturdy at all!!!
