A Dream of Splendor

"What a pity it was only a dream of Huaxu. How fortunate that it was more than just a dream of Huaxu."

Xu Nanyi, a professor at one of the capital's top music academies, had a life that was smooth sailing and full of promise, except that he had no family.

That was until he ran into the biggest obstacle of his life...

The obstacle himself held a mace to his neck and demanded with a cold laugh, "Why is my demon core inside you?"

Xu Nanyi looked at the broad-shouldered, long-legged man with sharp features, then at the weapon that could take his life at any moment.

"I don't know. And I don't like having other people's things suddenly end up inside me."

"If you say it's yours, then take it and go as far away as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man opposite him stiffen for a moment, yet make no move to leave.

Xu Nanyi remembered that he still had students' graduation projects to review and felt unbearably irritated. "Are you taking it or not?"

The mace at his throat suddenly disappeared. The man frowned. "I can't take it. It recognizes you as its master."

Xu Nanyi: "???"

Xu Nanyi: "Who recognizes me as their master?!"

The man in the shadows forced out a few words, sounding both annoyed and frustrated. He pointed at himself, then at Xu Nanyi.

"My demon core recognizes you as its master."

One month later.

Xu Nanyi stared at the demon king who was refusing to leave his home, his expression unreadable. "Are you going to do anything to get your demon core back or not?"

"No." Jinghua walked over and wrapped his arms around Xu Nanyi's waist. "I'll give you my demon core, and throw in a boyfriend for free."
