A smoldering, scheming, feudal dragon-clan seme who hates and wants to marry x a green-tea crybaby uke who pursues freedom, breaks hearts, and wants to be an independent man
The Gu family were professional funeral criers. One day they found a child and named him Gu Dou. He was a skinny little bean sprout, too weak to lift or carry anything. All he could do was bawl at the top of his lungs, and whenever he cried, mountain spirits and ghosts would come running.
The monsters who came at his call obeyed Gu Dou in everything, feeding him well until he became plump and tender, while the poor village was left in a state of chaos every day.
When Gu Dou turned eighteen, he received an admission letter from the National Special Disciplines Academy.
Gu Dou: ? Can you eat the National Special Disciplines Academy?
The whole village sent him off to the academy with drums and gongs, though none of them had any idea what was going on.
Gu Dou: I'm so touched! I'll repay you all, my dear neighbors! QwQ
But just after setting off, Gu Dou went into free fall during the entrance exam and crashed into the depths of a remote forest.
A great monster lived deep in the forest. He was as imposing as an immortal, with handsome, heroic features. His face was beautiful, and his body was pale.
The great monster, who had been bathing, turned around. His eyes were as bone-chilling as the depths of winter.
Gu Dou: I'm done for. My dear neighbors, I'm going to die. QwQ
Gu Dou didn't die. Instead, he was kept in a cave and told to take responsibility for the great monster. The little monsters decorated the bridal chamber and demanded they get married at once.
Take responsibility for what, exactly? You can't get married just from one look. That's not what freedom of marriage means today!
Determined to be a little heartbreaker, Gu Dou ran away with the dean who came looking for him while the great monster was out!
But... this belly...
The teacher in charge of the rescue looked worried. "Why do you look so pale? Are you frightened?"
Holding his rumbling, chattering belly, Gu Dou replied with a serious expression: "...No, I think I'm pregnant."
As a heartbreaker, Gu Dou decided to accept his bad luck. The world was vast, and surely there was some way to abort a monster's child.
Gu Dou opened his dorm room door while looking through ancient books for information on human-monster pregnancies, only to find the great monster he'd "abandoned" sitting on his bed, his face as dark as still water, like a discarded wife.
Gu Dou gave in and, before the great monster could "lose it," cried through an entire set of little funeral dirges.
Zhuo Yuan glanced over the books scattered all over the floor, including Records of Human-Monster Romances and The Domineering Monster Claims His Prize. His expression was frosty.
Zhuo Yuan: Who is he?
Gu Dou: W-who... who do you mean...?
Zhuo Yuan: The monster you abandoned me for. Who is he?
After that,
In physical training class, Gu Dou was chased by the sinister Zhuo Yuan and flew across a bottomless cliff with tears in his eyes.
Gu Dou: Waaaah, great monster, I'm going to die.
In environmental simulation class, Zhuo Yuan tossed Gu Dou into the sky and sank him underwater, until he learned to ride the wind and control the water through tearful sobs.
Gu Dou: Waaaah, great monster, I'm going to die.
In the alchemy research class, Gu Dou was so thoroughly nourished by the spirit treasures and elixirs Zhuo Yuan brought out that his nose bled, his whole body burned, and he collapsed into Zhuo Yuan's arms like a delicate willow.
Gu Dou: Waaaah, great monster, I'm going to die.
But when the great monster wrapped his thick tail around Gu Dou and pressed his soft, tiny, warm body against his cold dragon scales,
Gu Dou could only let his tears fall, trembling as he raised one little finger.
Gu Dou said: Waaaah, great monster, can we just use one finger? If you use two, I'll die...
