[At heart, he's a lazy, beautiful bottom, while the top is a domineering genius who turns utterly dark while pursuing his wife]
Chen Shuang, Second Highness of the Demon Realm, ranked first on the Three Realms' Beauty List, was a prodigy on the verge of reaching the top of the Heavenly Ranking. His whole life had gone smoothly, free of trouble and disaster. Every day, he lounged on his beauty couch and lamented how dull life was, until one day, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck him.
He lost all his magical powers and memories, and his primordial spirit was reincarnated as an ordinary human.
The mortal was also named Chen Shuang. He had been unable to cultivate since childhood, and to make matters worse, he had nothing going for him but a pretty face. His life expectancy was less than twenty years, so his family abandoned him and betrothed him to a decrepit old man with no fewer than 108 concubines.
Who could have guessed that on their wedding night, the old man would be killed by someone seeking revenge, left dead on the spot?
Now a widower in an instant, Chen Shuang lifted his red wedding veil and locked eyes with a tall, straight-backed youth with a cold expression.
The sword in the youth's hand was still dripping with blood.
Chen Shuang blinked and tentatively called, "Husband?" He patted the spot beside him and asked cautiously, "Are we going to sleep now?"
The youth had only meant to release Chen Shuang as a favor, but when he saw the beauty in red on the wedding bed, his ears suddenly turned scorching hot. Without showing it, he kicked the corpse by his feet aside, gave a quiet hum, and then said with an impassive face, "That man came here seeking revenge. Did he scare you?"
Chen Shuang smiled and shook his head: "..."
As if.
Chen Shuang pretended to be foolish and mistook the assassin for his husband, planning to run away when the time was right. He never expected that from then on, his life would once again go smoothly.
When his family gave him trouble, someone stood up for him. When he ran out of money, someone handed over their fortune. When he got into trouble, someone cleaned up the mess. And when someone set their sights on him, he didn't have to worry about being kidnapped...
It was just that his new husband was a little too controlling. He also often gave Chen Shuang precious spirit herbs and pills, trying to extend his life, saying that he couldn't leave him alone.
But in the end, Chen Shuang still died.
Not of illness, but in a siege by the demons.
That day, the youth fought alone with sword in hand, killing until he could no longer feel fatigue. Corpses littered the land. At last, he dropped to one knee and looked around with his drawn sword, lost and helpless.
Chen Shuang hadn't even left behind a corpse.
Later, Chen Shuang awoke in the Demon Realm. He heard that he had been struck by lightning and unconscious for quite some time, but didn't think much of it and went right back to his lazy life.
Until he heard that a remarkably gifted young prodigy had recently appeared in the cultivation world, advancing in power as easily as eating and drinking, defeating everyone at his level and reaching the top of the Heavenly Ranking in just a few short years.
However, this rising star seemed to hate demons with a passion, and the Demon Realm was preparing to send someone to nip him in the bud.
Chen Shuang happened to be bored, so he decided to go meet this human prodigy.
He was feeling playful, so he arranged a chance encounter and pretended to be injured to get close. Who knew that this renowned human prodigy wouldn't show the slightest caution, simply allowing Chen Shuang to stab him in the waist?
Chen Shuang found it boring and was about to head home, but the next moment, the other man pulled him tightly into his arms.
The youth, who had grown even colder after losing his wife, now had red eyes and was actually crying. He kept saying things like, "Don't think you can leave me again." Chen Shuang's scalp went numb. He shoved the other man away and ran off without a trace.
Later, after regaining his memories and realizing he really might have been a heartless scoundrel to the other man, Chen Shuang: "..."
#I just have a habit of finding someone to lean on. What's wrong with being lazy?#
#Why should the next life have to repay the debts of the last one?#
#Stop chasing after me. I really can't be your wife again!#
