The Male Lead's Secret Crush Came True

[A somewhat tsundere heroine who loves to tease people x a bashful, clingy, devoted puppy of a hero with a crush]

Temporarily shelved. I'll write more when I have time.

In the six hundred and seventy-fourth year of Qinghe, the Heavenly Dao sent down a celestial prophecy. The long-vanished Ziwei Enclosure reappeared in the sky, heralding the birth of a new Human Emperor.

Following the Dragon Maiden's guidance as she patrolled the seas, Ming Qianhua came to the South Sea, where she happened to meet Canghe's heaven-blessed prodigy, the very man rumored to be her perfect match.

She wanted to find an opportunity to ditch Xie Shuhuan, but during a trip to Mount Luofu, a red thread inexplicably bound the two of them together.

Before she could shake Xie Shuhuan off, however, at the end of that winter, the Demonic Abyss broke open. Thousands upon thousands of demons and monsters emerged, plunging the world into chaos.

Ming Qianhua had been preparing to march north toward the Northern Plains, but suddenly found herself burdened with the destiny of the Human Emperor. She had no choice but to embark on a journey to save the world.

In a time no one knew about, Xie Shuhuan had secretly loved Ming Qianhua for nearly a hundred years.

In the butterfly illusion at Mount Luofu, a red thread from a past life bound him to Ming Qianhua.

Xie Shuhuan was delighted. At last, he had a legitimate reason to cling to Miss Ming's side.

But Xie Shuhuan had his worries, too. The only way to undo the inseparable pact was to become cultivation partners.

Yet after waiting for many days, he still hadn't heard Miss Ming bring it up.

His elder sister told him that when it came to love, a man ought to take the initiative.

So Xie Shuhuan worked up his courage and confessed his feelings to Ming Qianhua one moonlit night, emboldened by drink:

"Miss Ming, I... I really like you. Could I become cultivation partners with you? If you don't want to, I'll leave the royal court tomorrow."

Xie Shuhuan was ready to be rejected, but he hadn't expected...

"Sure," Ming Qianhua replied with a smile.

At first: Xie Shuhuan is so annoying. How can I get rid of him?

After traveling together for a while: Xie Shuhuan's actually not bad. He's handsome and strong, so I suppose I could keep him around.

Later: Could Xie Shuhuan actually like me?!

In the end: Since Xie Shuhuan likes me so much, I suppose I'll deign to like him just a tiny bit.

Both are each other's one and only. Happy ending. Sweet romance.

A high-martial-arts, low-magic setting. There are martial arts cultivation levels, but this is not cultivation, xianxia, or a power-progression story, and the heroine isn't an all-powerful female lead.

Both leads are pretty cautious at first. If they can win, they fight. If they can't, they run.

A touch of ensemble cast, with a group of people scheming against each other.

Plot-focused, with a slow-burn romance.
