Better to Fall in Love Than Practice Swordsmanship

Zhao Jingxian transmigrated into a wuxia world and became the greatest swordsman in the jianghu, collecting many beloved famous swords. He lived in seclusion in a bamboo cottage for years, keeping only his swords for company. Then one day, his life was suddenly upended by a livestreaming System that appeared out of nowhere. Bizarre game rules materialized before his eyes: He had become the protagonist of a romance livestream in another world. If he didn't fall in love with the other protagonist and earn the audience's affection points, the System would punish him terribly by taking away one of his beloved swords. Zhao Jingxian's world suddenly came crashing down. - To save his many beloved swords, Zhao Jingxian sought out his romantic partner. The other protagonist chosen by the livestreaming System was Xie Yan, the most fashionable villain in the jianghu, a beautiful man of the demonic path whom righteous martial artists only dared to discuss in private. Now this villain had defected from the Demon Cult and was being hunted by both sides of the righteous-demonic divide. When Zhao Jingxian found him gravely wounded, he rescued him and carried him back to his bamboo cottage. Zhao Jingxian had no experience with romance. After ten days with Xie Yan, he'd made him so angry he vomited blood twice, reopened his wounds three times, and lost four of his beloved swords. With no other choice, Zhao Jingxian wrote letters late into the night, inviting all his friends from the jianghu to stay at his cottage and teach him the art of romance. Every night he stayed up late writing little romance scripts, trying his best to warm the demon's cold heart. As time passed, Xie Yan's wounds gradually healed, and Zhao Jingxian seemed to have finally picked up a few romantic tricks. At last, one day, the livestreaming System congratulated him on taking the top spot in its rankings. He no longer needed to worry about punishment and could even accumulate the audience's affection points to win back his lost swords. Zhao Jingxian happily opened the livestream interface. Wait. Why had he taken first place on the comedy rankings? Wasn't he on the romance channel?! He didn't want to become a comedian! - When Xie Yan defected from the Demon Cult, he assumed he wouldn't survive three days. He never expected someone to save him and insist on having a love affair with him that would shake the heavens and earth. Xie Yan thought the man had something wrong with his head. The man brought him to the bamboo cottage and recited strange love poems to him with a stern expression every day. He cooked terrible food to force him to eat and did everything he could to restore the martial arts he'd almost completely lost, all because couples in love were supposed to do these things. A love affair that shook the heavens and earth had to include scenes like this. Xie Yan thought the man wasn't just ill, but seriously unwell and irritating. But as time went on, the man's features grew increasingly familiar. Sometimes, he even saw him in his dreams. The man cared nothing for the divide between the righteous and demonic paths or for the world's condemnation. All he wanted was to hold Xie Yan's hand and stand by his side. Xie Yan... Xie Yan gradually found it harder to understand his own heart. He wasn't good with words. No one had ever taught him how to express himself. If he wasn't silent, his words always came out like barbs. Xie Yan gritted his teeth. "If you want to kill me, just draw your sword." Zhao Jingxian: "I don't want to kill you." Xie Yan: "If you want to humiliate me..." Zhao Jingxian sat bolt upright. "Ah, have we reached that stage already?" Xie Yan: "?" Zhao Jingxian: "I haven't studied this part yet. Give me fifteen minutes. Get yourself ready, and I'll be right back." Xie Yan: "?" This man... There really was something wrong with his head! [How to enjoy this story] 1. Swordsman gong x demon shou. There are side couples, and more than one.

I'm just letting loose with no outline, making it up as I go, so anything can happen. The two of them had no connection to begin with; it's all held together by my enthusiastic matchmaking efforts (not really). ↓↓↓ Take a look at the upcoming historical BL novel! ↓↓↓ The Jianghu Is Fuzzy When the renowned swordsman Yin Fengyun developed an eye condition at the age of twenty-three, he sought treatment from a reclusive miracle doctor. When his sight returned, he discovered that the entire jianghu had changed. Half the people around him had animal heads, and much of the martial world had become a fluffy wonderland! Everyone in the Dayan Sect had fox heads, the Linfeng Sect was full of soft, fluffy little sheep, and the Sword-Forging Manor had somehow become the domain of dogs. And the Demon Cult Leader... Yu Jiuqing, the Demon Cult Leader who never showed his face, had turned out to be a cat. A beautiful, long-haired white cat with blue-green heterochromia. He hit Yin Fengyun right in the heart. Just as Yin Fengyun was about to run off with the Demon Cult, his friends in the Martial Alliance rushed to stop him. Friend A: The Demon Cult Leader is a bad person! Friend B: He won't even show his face. He must be an ugly, bad-tempered freak! Friend C: He's killed countless people and is ruthless! Yin Fengyun, eyes brimming with tears: I know! But how could he possibly turn down a cat head? Yin Fengyun relentlessly pursued Yu Jiuqing, making himself right at home in the Demon Cult with his devotion to delicious food and his cooking skills. No matter how fierce and foul-tempered Yu Jiuqing was, Yin Fengyun always thought, Hmm, what harm could a little kitty possibly do? Of course he'd forgive him! For some reason, Yu Jiuqing lost his temper with him less and less often, and his gaze grew calmer and gentler. Then, a year later, Yin Fengyun finally met the miracle doctor again. After another examination, the world before his eyes returned to normal. He removed the cloth covering his eyes and immediately saw an exceptionally beautiful man in black standing beside his bed. Yin Fengyun, who had spent an entire year relentlessly pursuing Yu Jiuqing, sat up straight and gave him a stiff smile. "...Hello. May I ask who you are?" Yu Jiuqing: "..."
