Here is the blurb:

Chu Yu, supreme ruler of the Demon Realm, carries the bloodline of the phoenix and is an irreverent man who walks the line between good and evil. When he opens his eyes, he discovers that he has transmigrated into the human realm as Chu Ling, the third son of its emperor: a sickly, meek pushover.

He has the finest sword bones and was born to cultivate, yet he is poisoned and frail.

To force the poison out, he shamelessly uses his past favor to pressure the Imperial Preceptor, Su Yunwei, into helping him.

Su Yunwei is an immortal lord who descended to the mortal realm to undergo a tribulation, aloof and indifferent.

After they meet, they clash repeatedly over one little thing after another. Sometimes Chu Yu is so angry he could bite him to death.

Chu Yu remembers Su Yunwei's words for years: "Chu Ling, what makes you think you have the right to bargain with me?" He just wants to regain his strength someday and give him a good beating.

But after they weather life and death together, the two unexpectedly become kindred spirits and close friends.

Chu Yu changes his mind and instead helps Su Yunwei through his trials. He only has to wait until Su Yunwei has earned enough merit to ascend through his tribulation, opening the gateway between the three realms. Then he can take the opportunity to return to the Demon Realm and escape his mortal body ahead of time.

Everything is perfect, until Chu Yu has finished all his scheming and deceit, regained his identity as the Demon Lord, and emerged from his secluded cave in the Demon Realm to find his "close friend" waiting at the entrance with an Immortal-Binding Rope.

"?"

Something seems off.

In the eyes of the world, Su Yunwei is an icy immortal lord, handsome, with sharp brows and bright eyes, and a graceful bearing. Yet no one dares get close to him.

That's because there are two rumors about him.

The first says he is volatile, and will turn the ground red with blood over the slightest disagreement.

The second says he had a husband who died young, and that they loved each other deeply.

A man so temperamental and fond of men, no matter how handsome, can only leave countless female immortals sighing with regret.

Just as everyone thinks this man, who follows the merciless path and will surely cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate until he tires of it, is destined to be alone forever, he returns from his tribulation in the mortal realm with another man bound up and in tow.

When the immortals see who he has captured, they all gasp. Isn't that the Demon Lord who once wreaked havoc in the Immortal Realm?!

Chu Yu, terrified that their friendship has turned into something else: "Brother! We're close friends! You know what that means? Friends! Friends can't get married!"

Su Yunwei merely lowers his eyes to watch Chu Yu's lips move. They're rosy and soft, and look very kissable.

And that's exactly what he does.

[No wonder he looks like an old acquaintance. Turns out the old acquaintance never died.]

[A story about a flirtatious bigmouth who talks himself into trouble and is forced to repay his debts of love.]

Here is the blurb for the upcoming novel After the Unlucky Guy Gets Haunted by an Evil Ghost:

Su Che has been unusually unlucky lately.

He tries to play a hand of Dou Dizhu, but his straight is missing a seven. His instant noodles come without a fork. Then his neighbor's huge Samoyed leaps on him, and he ends up at King Yama's palace.

There, he meets his grandpa, who died many years ago and has always been an irreverent old man.

"You weren't supposed to come this early." Grandpa rubs his thumb and forefinger together. "But our family owes the people upstairs a bit of money, so we had to send you down to pay it off."

Su Che: "???"

"So, what'll it be? Sell yourself or work it off?" Grandpa kindly offers him two choices.

Sometimes, when people are so speechless they can't take it anymore, all they can do is laugh.

Su Che laughs himself awake in the hospital.

He assumes everything that happened was just a dream and doesn't give it another thought.

But that night, the old man in the next bed sits bolt upright and shuffles over to Su Che's bed, muttering hoarsely, "Hey, young man, got a light?"

Su Che is absorbed in his phone and doesn't even look up. "No. I don't smoke."

The old man doesn't leave.

For some reason, Su Che gets goosebumps. He's about to look up and say something when he sees the shape of the old man lying peacefully in the next bed, and the straight line on the monitor beside it.

As if his bad luck weren't enough, his creditor comes calling soon after: a male ghost who's been dead for hundreds of years.

He's very handsome, like the seductive demons in stories who feed on people's life essence.

But he's sharp-tongued and aloof.

"I hope you'll treasure your life and stop doing stupid things until you've fulfilled our agreement."

Su Che treats him as his direct superior, diligently accumulates merit, and encounters all manner of extraordinary people and strange events. The human and ghost get along surprisingly well.

He never imagines that one day in the future, as dusk settles and the stuffy summer wind sweeps into the room through a window left ajar...

The seductive demon kneels between his legs, holding his wrist and trapping him in place. Cool strands of long hair fall against his neck, making him shiver.

The demon presses his forehead to Su Che's, his expression softening as he murmurs in a pitiful, coaxing voice, "Xiao Che, won't you give me a kiss?"
