New book: A Guide to Raising a Straight-Man Dragon-Aotian. If you're interested, feel free to add it to your favorites. The blurb is at the very bottom~ [Ancient-Era ABO | Spring Dreams | Rivals Who Secretly Yearn for Each Other | Brothers Turned Lovers] Xie Jiuxing has a sworn rival. As children, he was so pretty that it was hard to tell whether he was a boy or a girl, and Xie Jiuxing foolishly developed feelings for him. After they started school, he was always proper and diligent, never putting down a book. Whatever he studied, he mastered in no time. He made Xie Jiuxing the eternal runner-up for more than a decade. What was even more infuriating was how polite he was to everyone else, while he couldn't be bothered with Xie Jiuxing. One day, a bunch of his rowdy friends burst into a tavern with some explosive news: "That refined, noble, and radiant Di Lingguang has joined the Hehuan Sect!" What? Xie Jiuxing's jaw nearly hit the floor. What was he waiting for?! Xie Jiuxing rolled up his sleeves. He was going to pay him a visit right now! Di Lingguang had been exceptionally gifted and impeccably behaved since childhood, but he had a secret: he had fallen for his childhood sweetheart. His youthful feelings were soon discovered by his father, who used an iron fist to lock him away. A family role model and a gentleman of impeccable conduct? How could he possibly like men? Later, a strange plague swept through the cultivation world. A voice rose in Di Lingguang's heart: I'm sick, so isn't it perfectly normal for me to want him? [Little Scene] Right in front of his strict father, Di Lingguang used a secret technique to place a red beauty mark between his brows. It would vanish the moment he lost his virginity. Later, he woke every day in Xie Jiuxing's arms, limbs sore and weak, then had to crawl to the bronze mirror to paint the beauty mark back on. He wished he could travel back in time and stab his former self. And, well... stab the shameless culprit laughing so brazenly, too. A genius, irritable artificer with a fiery temper, the dominant gong (Tianqian) x A proper gentleman and ancient scientist, the submissive shou (Zhongyong) Reader's Guide: 1.

A Guide to Raising a Straight-Man Dragon-Aotian Scheming, flirtatious silver-haired little snake x Good-for-nothing-type Dragon-Aotian straight man The thousand-year-old snake demon Yun Qi died in a tribulation. When he opened his eyes again, he had possessed the golden finger of the Dragon-Aotian protagonist in an urban cultivation novel. The System bound to him could let him cultivate again, but in exchange, he had to complete its missions. Yun Qi looked at the first mission before him: enter into a ghost marriage with the Dragon-Aotian male lead. He fell into deep thought. Integrity is precious, but freedom is even more valuable. If cultivation is at stake, both can be thrown away! So, without a shred of shame, he tricked Dragon-Aotian into a ghost marriage and got himself a husband. No resources? Go to Dragon-Aotian! Once they stole them back, Yun Qi took the lion's share and Dragon-Aotian got the scraps. Yun Qi called it a kindness, since Dragon-Aotian couldn't digest it all. No magical treasures? Go to Dragon-Aotian! Once they stole them back, Yun Qi would secretly sabotage things, cough up blood, and play the victim until Dragon-Aotian obediently gave them to him. No wife? Oh, no, he actually did have one. It was just that all five of Dragon-Aotian's wives from the original novel had been sent off to cultivate the Unfeeling Dao by him. Later, Yun Qi looked at Wen Zui, who had already made a name for himself and become the head of a sect. He quietly came up behind the man in a suit, wrapped an arm around his slender waist, and pinned him against the floor-to-ceiling window. His seductive words brushed Wen Zui's crimson ear: "A-Zui... are you ready to fulfill your duties as my wife?" * Wen Zui is an office worker, the kind who works 996. He has no parents, no savings, and nothing to his name. In short, he's a triple-zero nobody. Perhaps fate took pity on him, because he unexpectedly received an inheritance from a distant relative. There was no money, but it did include a blue jade ring. And its artifact spirit is an unbelievably handsome man! With the artifact spirit's help, Wen Zui began a painless journey of turning his life around and slapping faces: kicking his braindead boss, punching incompetent rich second-generation heirs, and climbing all the way to the top. But... why did all the beautiful women around him go cultivate the Unfeeling Dao? Why had he become the artifact spirit's wife? Why was the artifact spirit clinging to him every day, demanding he fulfill his duties as a wife? Nooooo!!!!!! Yun Qi's lips curved into a slight smile. "You want it so badly? All right, darling." Theme: Love is a choice that goes against instinct.
