Xu Yexing, the greatest swordsman in the Three Realms, was betrayed by everyone and died, his soul destroyed. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a foolish sword cultivator in a remote mountain village in the Lower Realm, with the same name and even the same face as his former self. Fortunately, Xu Yexing lived up to his name: his motto in life was "Whatever works." So he decided to make the best of things. With the baby he'd adopted, Xu Keyi, bawling to be fed in his swaddling clothes, and a fire poker the fool had picked up somewhere, he set off to roam the world. For a while, he enjoyed a peaceful life of sleeping, eating, practicing swordsmanship, and raising his son.
That is, until one day, a man stood in his courtyard, staring at the baby in his arms with blood-red eyes, demonic energy surging all around him.
It was none other than his former cultivation partner, the heaven's favored son and pillar of the righteous sects, Ji Yunyan, who had once run him through the heart with a single sword strike.
The gong: A seemingly aloof, carefree, unpredictable sword cultivator, and a widowed single father.
The shou: A heaven's favored son who falls prey to qi deviation and becomes obsessive and vicious.
Strong leads on both sides.
Includes childbirth.
There are some temporary one-on-one relationships, and although the blurb features only one shou, there is more than one in the full story.
The son is truly his son, but not Ji Yunyan's. The widower is truly a widower, but not Ji Yunyan's widower.
All shous are pure in both body and heart.
The author just wanted a meal of a widowed single-father gong being pursued after a breakup, that's all.
Theme: Protecting children's mental health can't wait.
