Has the Heir Apparent Gotten Out of Bed Today?

[Young lord x bodyguard / versatile couple / lighthearted, sweet romance / explosive love x restrained love] The Xie family had seven sons and six daughters, each with lofty ambitions and a vow to serve their lord unto death. Only the seventh son, Xie Yan, was determined to lie flat and enjoy himself. The year he came of age, Xie Yan was sent away from the Xie estate, supposedly to gain experience. With a few silver coins and one servant, Xie Yan was dumped outside the city. In disbelief, Xie Yan fell to his knees and shouted at the retreating figure: “Father, turn around and look at your good son! I can still be saved!” The servant beside him stood silent as a statue, shifted to the side, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing. Xie Yan turned his head. The sunlight was just right, and, shamefully, he was bewitched. How could a servant be more handsome than him, a young lord? Was that even reasonable? The training was a little rough, and the jianghu was no easy place to navigate. Whenever he got into trouble, Xie Yan shouted, “Zhuang Chu!” Whenever he was bullied, Xie Yan shouted, “Zhuang Chu!” Whenever he was lovestruck, Xie Yan shouted, “Zhuang Chu!” Day after day, it was Zhuang Chu, Zhuang Chu, Zhuang Chu... He even shouted Zhuang Chu while pinning him beneath himself. Zhuang Chu clutched his chest, thinking, I’ve never met anyone so noisy. I think he’s scared my heart. What does it feel like to be in love with someone? Xie Yan didn’t know. He only knew that he wanted to lay everything he had before Zhuang Chu. Not just his sincere heart. Himself, too. So Xie Yan grinned boldly, opened his arms, and said to Zhuang Chu: “Zhuang Chu, come over here once.” [This is not a pure jianghu story.] Check out my friend’s novel, A Peerless Young Master, ID 9059351 A free-spirited, dashing young man who attacks x an apparently innocent, cute uke who is actually deeply cunning.

He fell into the demonic path, slaughtered his way through the demon realm, and became the enemy of the entire cultivation world. In the third year after Zi Sang Shen died, Feng Jin died. They say he defied the heavens to bring the dead back to life, and was struck down by heavenly lightning. With the great demon dead, the cultivation world enjoyed a hundred years of peace. A hundred years later, one bolt of heavenly lightning after another struck a village in the human realm. Someone who should have been long dead slowly opened his eyes in a charred crater. Zi Sang Shen was alive. 2. There were many rumors about Zi Sang Shen’s resurrection. One version said that Zi Sang Shen had died at the hands of the righteous, and the heavens had taken pity on him and brought him back to life. ↑ But this explanation couldn’t account for the great demon’s existence, so few paid it any mind. Another version said that the great demon had never died. He had spent a hundred years bringing Zi Sang Shen back to life, right there in that village. ↑ Most of the righteous believed this version. A third version said the great demon had never died, and the heavenly lightning was punishment for resurrecting Zi Sang Shen too soon. Those hundred-plus years had been the years he kept Zi Sang Shen imprisoned. ↑ This was the version whispered about in secret. 3. Qingcui Mountain was once again blanketed in snow. Wearing an outer robe, Zi Sang Shen picked the first red plum blossom for Feng Jin. Inside, Feng Jin watched Zi Sang Shen. He hadn’t expected Zi Sang Shen to recover his memories despite the parasite. Still less had he expected that on the first night after being tied up and brought back, Zi Sang Shen would strip him naked. But why should he get to do that? Feng Jin had loved Zi Sang Shen for so long before he finally got to sleep with him. Zi Sang Shen didn’t even love him, so why should he get to sleep with Feng Jin? Feng Jin stared fixedly at Zi Sang Shen’s backside. He would keep refining the parasite. He would make Zi Sang Shen lose his memory. 4. Feng Jin failed to refine the parasite and made himself lose his memory instead. Then Feng Jin fell in love with Zi Sang Shen at first sight all over again. But Zi Sang Shen was no longer the same person he had been a hundred years ago. Seizing his chance, he coaxed Feng Jin into willingly putting on shackles and becoming his prisoner.
