[Blurb screenshot saved on February 3, 2025]
Yan Yanqiu is a beautiful, ruthless disciple of an immortal sect, arrogant and overbearing. People call him the most vicious righteous cultivator, worse than demonic cultivators, bar none. He beats up his fellow disciples, massacres cities, and points his sword at the Heavenly Dao. He never lets a minor evil go unpunished, and commits even the greatest evils without hesitation.
Heavenly Dao: ...Why don't you just become a demon?
It takes a villain to know a villain, and it agrees wholeheartedly. It sends Yan Yanqiu and his nemesis into a small world together.
Its original plan is to have the righteous gentleman everyone praises set Yan Yanqiu on the right path. Unexpectedly, things take a different turn...
What starts as an attempt to thoroughly reform him turns into thoroughly ( )
[World One] (Historical: Emperor x powerful eunuch)
A change in the ruling clan leads to a sudden purge of the family.
To preserve their bloodline, Yan Yanqiu, the legitimate son, is sent into the palace.
The once-proud young nobleman is forced to be castrated and becomes a lowly eunuch anyone can kick around. The older palace eunuchs covet his looks and try to force him to submit to them.
The heir apparent, renowned for his humility and self-restraint, comes to Yan Yanqiu's rescue.
He reaches out, pulls Yan Yanqiu from the ground into his arms, draws his sword and kills the old eunuch trembling nearby, then kindly takes his old acquaintance back to the Eastern Palace, sparing him a life of abuse at others' hands.
From then on, Yan Yanqiu remains by his side.
He watches the crown prince build high towers, host grand banquets, and ultimately seize power over all.
He also sees through that handsome, gentle exterior to the ambition hidden beneath it, and the intense, frightening desire.
And the prince, now emperor, never expects that the sharpest blade in his hand will turn on him once it has fully mastered the power he gave it. The beauty who is so tender and compliant in bed reveals the coldest face, no longer pretending.
"...That's wonderful, then."
By the flickering candlelight, the emperor lowers his eyes and runs his fingertips over documents that could be called treasonous. He chuckles softly, concealing the darkness in his expression.
That way, he has a reason to keep the person he loves imprisoned at his side, where he can never leave him again.
(Tip: He isn't actually castrated. I can't handle that kind of thing.)
[World Two] (Modern: Powerful elite x con artist)
Plot summary:
A calculating con artist uses his looks to seduce a powerful man with a sterling reputation, youthful good looks, and a supposedly gentle disposition. He cheats him out of his money and affection, then runs off with the cash, leaving behind a note mocking him as a useless fool.
When they meet again, the con artist is penniless and deep in debt. His legs are broken, and he's forcibly made to kneel before the powerful man. Only after being forced against the wall does he realize it was a trap set by the powerful man all along.
The powerful man leans down slightly, hooks a finger beneath his chin, and smiles as he draws close. "Still thinking of running? You can't escape. You've already mortgaged all rights to yourself to me."
Reader notes:
1. Fake-saint, obsessive top x ruthless beauty of a bottom. The top is a fragment of a whole. 1v1, both leads are each other's first and only.
2. Nemesis romance, fake wall confrontation, the bottom has a slight everyone-loves-him vibe. Sweet, sweet, sweet.
3. Comedic and focused purely on romance, with the plot serving the love story. Muah!
Theme: Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony
