Saving the World Starts with Leashing the Psycho

Jiang Lingyue, head of the Immortal Alliance's Discipline Office, is cold and ruthless, and efficient in everything she does. She is the cultivation world's only hope for eradicating demons, and no one dares defy her.

At this moment, however, she gazed at the impossibly cool and handsome man before her, lost in thought.

According to the System, he was the Child of Destiny in this world, a powerful cultivator in the Integration stage, born to eradicate demons. Her mission was to protect him and save the world.

But she felt this man was her nemesis. Not only had he destroyed the clues to the demons' whereabouts and killed the Alliance's mole whom she'd worked so hard to capture, he also constantly provoked her and restricted her movements.

Outside the door, demons invaded, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Inside, Gu Changsheng held Jiang Lingyue's hands firmly bound. His gaze was bare, burning, and so direct it seemed he would devour her whole.

"Senior Sister, no one understands the demons better than I do. I'm the blade that fits your hand best!"

She trembled with fury, her gaze as cold as ice, yet the next moment she was completely lost in Gu Changsheng's consuming kiss.

After being reborn, Gu Changsheng finally saw Jiang Lingyue again.

In their previous life, the two had met while eradicating demons and saved the world from disaster, only to die in the process.

Fortunately, she had been reborn.

Even if she had lost her memories, looked at him with less regard than a stray dog, and even become engaged to someone else, Gu Changsheng still loved her.

He hated it. He hated that the moon shone high above, but did not shine on him alone.

But it didn't matter. None of it mattered. He belonged only to her, and she could belong only to him. He would give her what she wanted, in the way that would leave the deepest impression.

For example, by defying her outright, starting with cutting down her fake fiance with a single sword strike.

My next novel will be this one: Ancestor, You Smell So Good! A modern fantasy danmei entertainment-industry romance, sweet and satisfying.

Lu Jiangyu, head of the Special Abilities Bureau, has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a pair of flirtatious eyes that look at even dogs with tenderness. He's graceful and genteel in public, a true gentleman, but in reality he's a sanctimonious schemer with a knife hidden in his smile.

He once led the unit with the highest employee resignation rate for years running, earning himself the nickname "Jade-Faced Tyrant."

Since taking office, he's handled every special ability incident flawlessly, right up until the one that pulled Chu Yun into the picture.

Chu Yun is a newly famous young actor. His breathtaking looks and frosty, snowlike aura caught a director's eye and landed him a role in an S+ production.

His antis call him a pampered pretty boy who can't lift or carry anything and can only get by on his looks. His fans say he's like an immortal banished from the heavens, a pure soul from the clouds.

Lu Jiangyu: Bullshit!

What immortal nobleman? He's an unregistered ability user!

And he keeps acting like he knows everything, criticizing Lu Jiangyu's work as not meticulous enough, his methods as not ruthless enough, and him as weak-willed.

Lu Jiangyu: Bullshit!

Who do you think you are, criticizing me?!

Then, during a sudden disturbance in the spirit veins, the entire filming location was on the verge of collapse. Lu Jiangyu could only organize an evacuation, while Chu Yun charged straight into the oncoming danger.

Lu Jiangyu was shocked. "Are you crazy?! If you want to die, can't you pick somewhere else to be reborn?"

Chu Yun smiled faintly. "Young one, watch carefully and learn."

The out-of-control formation dissolved at his fingertips. He suppressed the raging spirit veins with ease, and ancient techniques long forgotten by the world appeared once more. An S+-level threat was resolved perfectly, with zero casualties.

Lu Jiangyu thought, This old fossil who appeared out of nowhere and only knows how to spout fancy words is a real handful!

He's finally met someone he can't push around!!

And a highly dangerous person with no official file!!!

From then on, whenever Chu Yun acted, Lu Jiangyu visited the set. Whenever Chu Yun went out, Lu Jiangyu had a car ready. He rented the apartment across the hall, and sat opposite Chu Yun at meals.

His subordinates were stunned and bewildered. Boss, Boss! You're acting like one of those... obsessive fans, right? Aren't you straight? Why are you pursuing a male celebrity?!

Lu Jiangyu could only scoff. "Bullshit!"

"First, don't call me Boss. Second, I'm straight. And finally, this is work. Who would want to keep staring at a man every single day?"

Even if this man was a little better-looking than him, a little more capable than him, a little more knowledgeable than him, and a little more popular than him.

He was still a man!

He wasn't interested in men with rock-hard bodies!

This was selfless devotion, sacrificing himself for the greater good.

But after Chu Yun showered, his damp long hair gathered up revealed the suggestive curve of his Adam's apple. While eating, his wrist looked slender and delicate as he held his chopsticks, as if a light grip would leave a red mark that belonged to Lu Jiangyu alone. Even the mole on his collarbone rising and falling as he breathed while pretending to nap was enough to leave Lu Jiangyu's mouth dry.

He felt Chu Yun was an anomaly who targeted him specifically, seducing him every moment of the day.

After one particularly out-of-control incident, Lu Jiangyu looked at his disheveled self and swore that once he uncovered Chu Yun's identity, he would leave without a second thought.

At last, a special ability incident revealed Chu Yun's identity:

He was the most tyrannical emperor of two thousand years ago, the man who brought the age of spiritual energy to an end, wiped the arrogant demon clans from history, and ushered in an era of peace and prosperity. He was the ancestor of Lu Jiangyu's ancestor's ancestor's ancestor... all the way back to the very first ancestor.

And now, the ancestor was dancing with a sword onstage at the victory banquet. His sword strokes were graceful and fluid, his body moving like a soaring dragon. His eyes seemed to look down on all things, yet contain the whole world.

If gods existed, they could be no more than this.

Lu Jiangyu: ...

Am I... still... straight?

Little Extra:

Lu Jiangyu had just finished reading The Good Husband Handbook: 108 Must-Read Tips when a flash of beauty crossed the corner of his eye and a wave of warm, steamy air washed over him.

The thin silk pajamas were damp from his still-wet hair, outlining his slender waist. It made Lu Jiangyu's heart burn, but Chu Yun himself seemed completely unaware.

Lu Jiangyu fought to hold himself back, then primly turned his gaze away. "Could you... stop seducing me?"

Chu Yun, brushing back his wet hair with one hand and holding a hair dryer in the other, looked confused. "What did you say?"

Lu Jiangyu felt his face flush. He went over and took the hair dryer. "...Nothing. I'm the one who wants to seduce you."

Reader's Guide:

1. The blurb is from the gong's perspective, while the main story is from the shou's. A straight but self-deluded, flirtatious gong x a cool and aloof shou with overwhelming combat ability, the true ancestor.

2. The entertainment-industry setting isn't a major focus. The story is mainly about a sweet couple falling in love.

3. No real-life inspirations or actual celebrities. Otherwise, the real person would be doomed to obscurity for life.

Theme: Hold fast to your convictions and dare to reach for greater heights.
