Complete|Next book: The Proud Dragon Heir Kills the Dao to Prove His Love for Me
A slow-witted beauty / lazy little ray of sunshine × a master who overthinks everything / dark moonlight
.
After seven hundred years without taking a disciple, Wei Shenghuai, sect leader of Qianji Sect, suddenly chose a pretty young disciple with mediocre talent.
In the eyes of outsiders, his little disciple was shy and well-behaved, respectful toward his master. This pair of unconventional master and disciple seemed destined for a deep and affectionate bond.
Only Wei Shenghuai knew that Yan Qin was anything but well-behaved.
The title of master and disciple was also his warning to Yan Qin not to cross the line.
“This disciple has admired Master for a long time.”
A habitual liar.
“This disciple is willing to help Master dispel the poison.”
Nothing but lies.
Wei Shenghuai sighed softly. He wanted to hear what other lies the other man could come up with, but then he saw the young man’s eyes turn red. After stammering for ages, he managed to squeeze out a few tears:
“Master… I’m pregnant.”
Wei Shenghuai: ?

Yan Qin had transmigrated into a book, but too early.
When the Heavenly Dao bound him to a mission, he had already spent over a decade surviving in this rags-to-riches cultivation novel about a proud dragon heir. He didn’t cultivate, chase opportunities, or do anything but laze around and wait for death.
“Your mission is to raise the proud dragon heir.”
What? The plot hadn’t even begun, and the proud dragon heir hadn’t been born yet? That was easy.
The Heavenly Dao waved its mighty hand and bundled Yan Qin off to the bedside of the poisoned white moonlight.
Wei Shenghuai, the white moonlight who died early in the story, was the proud dragon heir’s father and Yan Qin’s cheap master.
A silver mirror before the bed held the moonlight filling the room. Silver hair and black locks tangled together. Yan Qin looked up in a panic and met the deep, shadowy gaze of the merfolk immortal.
He instinctively tried to run, but before he had crawled more than a few steps, a shimmering fish tail coiled around him and dragged him back in front of the mirror.
Who raises a kid by making one first?!
*
The baby-making mission succeeded, and now came the side quest where he ran away with the baby.
The lazy man slowly rolled over, found a comfortable spot in his master's arms, and fell asleep without a care.
Thanks for asking. I’ve already given up.
With his master’s selfless help, the child-rearing mission proceeded smoothly, and the baby even got a proper family registration. The humble-born proud dragon heir became an immortal second-generation heir in an instant.
The Heavenly Dao finally realized the plot had gone off the rails and freaked out. “Aah! Why aren’t you following the plot?!”
Yan Qin freaked out too. “Do you clear every side quest when you play a game?”
The Heavenly Dao was on the verge of tears. “But what about the baby? He’s supposed to gain opportunities and treasures step by step, then become the leader of the immortal path…”
In the dim candlelight, Wei Shenghuai, the current leader of the immortal path, patiently soothed the little proud dragon heir to sleep. Heavenly treasures filled the child’s bed, a testament to how utterly spoiled he was.
The Heavenly Dao: “…”
Yan Qin said shyly, “Well, Dad already did his best for him.”
What’s so great about running away with a baby? Isn’t having a registered family among the immortal elite better? And aren’t the perks of being the sect leader’s partner even better?
Yan Qin thought this arrangement suited them just fine.
But why did his master look at him so strangely?

Content warning: an excessive amount of old-fashioned kinks.
Marriage before love / size difference / pregnancy tropes / merfolk demon transformation / aloof beauty who bends and becomes a gentle househusband / lazy man finally gets going, secret romance exposed / self-deluding, devoted gong / slow-witted, wooden shou even when the baby is almost due / the shou wears women's clothing, and more.
1. Slice-of-life cultivation and childbirth, master and disciple who met later in life, older man and younger wife.
2. Handsome gong and beautiful, adorable shou, both virgins, 1v1. The author is a fragile cleanliness fanatic. The gong and shou only have each other, with no romantic history involving anyone else.
3. Non-typical childbirth. The baby is a dragon egg. The gong spoils the shou, and everyone spoils the shou. There is a side couple among the senior and junior disciples, but they have little screen time and also dote on the shou.
4. Both the gong and shou are adults from the start, and their romance only begins after they are adults.
5. A kink-focused palate cleanser, not an equally matched power couple, just a sweet treat.
Next book, The Proud Dragon Heir Kills the Dao to Prove His Love for Me. Please add it to your collection.
Proud heiress × scheming proud dragon heir, equally matched.
The shou runs away from his spouse, who resents him one-sidedly; the gong falls in love with his white moonlight at first sight.
Young spouses → older man and younger wife
1.
At the end of the story, the proud dragon heir became an emperor among immortals and settled accounts with everyone.
The enemies who had wiped out his family became a pile of dust. The demon realm that had treated him with disdain became a dead land. The Heavenly Dao that had killed his beloved wife was slain with a single sword.
It was exactly one hundred years after his wife’s death.
Lin Fuxue thought he had been reborn at the worst possible time.
After all, he had once broken off his engagement to the emperor, mistreated him, and was the last remaining member of the demon realm’s imperial family.
Lin Fuxue leaned back. Great. He could just wait to die.
Later, he was indeed caught by the emperor, who never let a grudge go. For the first time in his life, the proud demon lord wanted to lower his head, but instead he was pinned beneath the red canopy and thoroughly made to answer for his past.
Lin Fuxue was both furious and devastated. “I’d be better off dead!!!”
2.
Su Xiaoxiao had known since childhood that he was betrothed to the youngest son of the Demon Emperor.
His little fiancé was born to wealth and privilege. Su Xiaoxiao believed his own family’s decline meant he was unworthy of the other, so he planned to call off the engagement.
That was until he saw Lin Fuxue for the first time.
The young demon lord was so beautiful he seemed almost demonic, and he looked at Su Xiaoxiao with casual disdain. “So you’re the pauper?”
Despite having a thousand things to say, Su Xiaoxiao could only fall silent.
They became cultivation partners, but everyone knew them as a bitterly mismatched couple.
They could barely stand the sight of each other, and before they could part in life, death tore them apart.
A young heart cannot bear the weight of love. When they meet again, they are already strangers from the past.
+
The shou has pink hair, and his true form is a hou, which looks like a rabbit.
They reunite at the start. The gong kills his way through the Dao to save his wife and bring the shou back to life. When they reunite, the shou’s memories are still stuck at the time he broke off the engagement, but he regains them later. They were married before they fell in love!
Before the resurrection: bickering sweethearts become young spouses who support each other.
After the resurrection: he runs, he chases, and he can’t get away, an older man and younger wife.
Still handsome gong and beautiful shou, still both virgins, 1v1 and devoted only to each other. They have no romantic history with anyone else. The author is a fragile cleanliness fanatic, and this is simply my fixed, old-fashioned taste. My couple will stay together forever.
Theme: Life in this world is brief, like a bird briefly alighting on a withered branch.
