The Apocalypse Arrives, but the Chosen One Cultivates Immortality

Prepublication: Is My Adorable Boyfriend Really a Cultivator? Blurb at the very bottom The apocalypse didn't come without warning. A swarm of frenzied, chaotic insects, more stray cats and dogs in the city, serial killers in the news committing revenge attacks against society, passenger planes colliding head-on along their flight paths, earthquakes bringing down skyscrapers, tsunamis sweeping in over the ruins... But the changes were too subtle. So subtle that people thought they were just coincidences and natural disasters. Even in the final moments of civilization, people still believed the apocalypse would come, just not today. Ruan Cheng wakes up in bed to a raging storm outside the window. Clearly, another spell of prolonged heavy rain has begun. Great, he won't have to go to school again. He unplugs his phone. But the power went out last night, and the phone hasn't charged at all. The rented apartment is dim and silent. Ruan Cheng grabs a flashlight and goes out to look for Lin Xunian, only to run into a huge, soaked stray dog in the hallway. Terrified, he turns and runs! But he trips and falls, and a chat window pops up before his eyes: [Congratulations! You have successfully activated the "Not Dead Yet Lottery System"!] [Now, exchange any item on your person for a beginner's lucky survival pack for the apocalypse. 1: Pajamas. 2: Flashlight. 3: Phone.] *Reader's note* 1. The apocalypse doesn't begin right away. The story starts with the warning signs. 2. The plot and romance are split evenly, 55/45. 3. The bottom's personality may not be to everyone's liking. 4. The pacing is slow, and the point of view switches frequently in the middle. Prepublication: Is My Adorable Boyfriend Really a Cultivator?

He began practicing Qi at ten, established his foundation at twenty, formed his Golden Core in his early forties, and conceived his Nascent Soul at one hundred. But when he fails to break through to the Deity Transformation stage, he loses all his cultivation and arrives in a world of strange clothing. Spiritual energy is scarce here, and not a single person has a spiritual root! Just as he's marveling at the extraordinary barrenness of this place, he catches sight of his close friend Mo Ling. Mo Ling reached the middle stage of Deity Transformation several years ago, but since Mu Yun had to enter seclusion to attempt the breakthrough, the two haven't seen each other in years. Overjoyed and in tears, he rushes over to greet his friend. His friend takes him home. In tears, he laments with his friend about how they both ended up in this godforsaken place. His friend takes off his clothes. He worries about the lack of spiritual energy here and how he has no idea how to get back now that he's lost his cultivation. His friend pushes him onto the bed. He regrets that he still has a pile of high-grade pills and imitation immortal weapons he hasn't dealt with. His friend pries his legs apart. He... Wait? Staring at his friend in shock, he says, "Y-you, what are you doing?" His friend thinks for a moment. "Dual cultivation?" ** Mo Ling owns a fairly large company. When he was thirty, he gave a lecture at a university and started dating an adorable college student. His younger boyfriend is an online novelist who often asks him to try out all kinds of roleplay to find inspiration for his writing. One day, they're playing emperor and male concubine, and the next, an omega going into heat and being marked. Today, the boyfriend starts playing a cultivator. The Immortal Lord isn't very cooperative. But there's a special thrill to roleplay. The next day, his younger boyfriend holds his aching back and says, "What the hell is the point of dual cultivation? Mo Ling, aren't you at the middle stage of Deity Transformation? Where did your cultivation and spiritual energy go?" Mo Ling leans over him. "Maybe we need to practice dual cultivation a few more times?" "Get lost!" His younger boyfriend angrily kicks him off the bed, then points a finger. A chunk of ice drops from the ceiling and hits him. His younger boyfriend stares at his hand in shock. "My spiritual energy really came back?!" Mo Ling stares at the ice in shock. "...Holy crap, is my adorable boyfriend really a cultivator?!" Theme: Love life and never give up easily.
