My Lord Father Reigns Above

Ming Jin, the son of a wealthy Jiangnan merchant.

His dream is to be a spoiled young master, loafing around without a care in the world until the day he dies.

At the moment, he has no appetite for food or tea, thinking only of the lifesaver he met during the Flower Festival.

A few days later, Master Ming invited guests to tour the gardens while secretly plotting a grand scheme.

Ming Jin saw the one he loved again.

His dream had come true at last, and he felt so dizzy he could barely stand.

What he didn't know was that this man, Prince Ning, planned to rebel alongside his father.

Then, at the coming-of-age ceremony he'd been eagerly awaiting day and night, Ming Jin's heart shattered:

His beloved had succeeded in his rebellion, but rejected Ming Jin's confession.

He even said he would become Ming Jin's adoptive father, help him ascend the throne, and watch him marry, have children, and carry on the imperial line.

His dream of becoming empress had shattered overnight, leaving Ming Jin on the verge of tears.

He turned to see his troublemaking friends, who used to fight crickets, chase dogs, skip class, and get punished together with him, all rubbing their hands in anticipation of helping him suppress the rebellion and take the throne. They said he was the emperor chosen by fate. Ming Jin was utterly despairing.

Didn't he know exactly how little he had to offer?

The kingdom was doomed!

Ming Jin didn't want to be emperor.

He gritted his teeth and, while his adoptive father was off guard, drugged him and slept with him. Then he left a letter and ran away from home.

"You old geezer, that's what you get for being so stubborn!"

Half a year later.

Yan Qi surrounded a dilapidated Taoist temple, leaving no way in or out, with three thousand imperial guards.

You don't want to be crown prince, you only want to be empress?

Thinking of all the years he'd spent restraining himself, he clenched his ruler and looked at the rebellious child he'd raised with his own hands, laughing in fury:

Very well.

Tonight, I shall grant your wish!

And later...

Two emperors ruled together, with virtuous ministers and brilliant generals filling the court.

The realm united under them, and they ushered in a golden age.

Gong Bo, a top-grade furnace cauldron, is gravely wounded and on the verge of death.

To prolong his life, he sets his sights on a textbook Dragon Proudheaven protagonist:

A tough survivor, surrounded by admirers, orphaned, homophobic, and a straight man who transmigrated.

He takes the man as his disciple, outwardly teaching him with great care while secretly planning to dual cultivate with him someday.

But when he sees his disciple surrounded by confidantes yet always treating him with respect, Gong Bo's last scraps of conscience occasionally give him a twinge.

Until, deep within a secret realm, deadly danger strikes.

To protect his disciple, Gong Bo refines his own body and sends him out of danger, then falls into a century-long slumber as a result.

He thinks: This protective puppet, forged from my furnace-cauldron body, will make a fine life-bound treasure for my disciple.

When Chu Feng wakes in a pool of blood, his master is nowhere to be found.

All that remains are a few words and an iron-masked puppet that has slaughtered its way through countless demons for his sake.

With the puppet's help, Chu Feng struggles out of the secret realm.

He swears he'll save his master.

Years later, while facing a powerful enemy, the black iron mask shatters, revealing his master's pale, still face beneath.

In an instant, his world comes crashing down.

*

A century later, Gong Bo awakens in the depths of the secret realm.

His new body has finally freed him from the burden of his furnace-cauldron constitution.

The little disciple who used to be chased everywhere is now an Immortal Venerable who has attained the Dao.

Gong Bo is deeply pleased.

And yet...

The first thing this Immortal Venerable does after attaining the Dao is announce to the world that he intends to marry his master in a ghost wedding!

Gong Bo: "..."

Boy, have you lost your mind?!

Cultivation world's star teacher, sickly master bottom x history's number-one master-obsessed disciple, secretly deranged Dragon Proudheaven top

[Quick Notes]

1. Includes a fake death. The top goes quietly insane later on.

2. Both transmigrate. Leveling-up story, strong protagonists, 1v1 happy ending.

3. The world has a dark tone. The top and bottom are just differently deranged. Please don't read if that's not your thing.
