The Timid Immortal Lord Is Tearing the Protagonist Apart

[Selfcest, one body shared by the gong and shou at first, universally hated cannon-fodder shou x sharp-tongued, stubborn gong]

Blurb:

After being thrown into an abyss thousands of feet deep, Shen Yunshen awakened just before he died.

It turned out the world he lived in was a power-fantasy novel about a destined hero who leveled up and built a harem! And he was just a minor cannon-fodder character who caught the destined heroine's eye early in the story.

Because he rejected his junior sister's advances, he was beaten, bullied, and humiliated. His cultivation was too weak for him to fight back, so every day was worse than death.

His life only improved after the male lead, his junior brother, joined the sect. He went from being an outer disciple punished day after day to the junior brother's "protected" dog.

It made no difference whether he was a person or a dog. He just wanted to survive.

But even that wish was too much to ask. It turned out his junior brother was humiliating him in a different way. In the end, because someone in his harem had once liked Shen Yunshen, the junior brother grew resentful and pushed him into the abyss, hoping he would never escape.

Shen Yunshen didn't understand. Why? What had he done wrong? Why? Why weren't they the ones who deserved to die?

Shen Yunshen had one breath left, but thought he might as well die.

After all, he was cowardly, weak, insecure, and useless. In a place full of demonic beasts, he had no idea how he could possibly survive.

And so, a heart demon was born within him.

When demonic beasts chased him, the heart demon called him useless, took over his body, and killed them.

When demons captured him, the heart demon called him a failure, took over his body, and devoured them.

When he rolled down a cliff and wept from the pain, the heart demon took over his body so he wouldn't feel it.

The heart demon said he didn't want to be associated with a coward like Shen Yunshen, so he gave himself a new name: Shen Xunchu.

The heart demon said that once Shen Yunshen finally got himself killed through his own uselessness, he would erase his consciousness and make him disappear completely.

The heart demon always said that, but never followed through.

The heart demon was stubborn and sharp-tongued, cursing and grumbling all day, yet taking such good care of him. His body stopped hurting, and a hidden warmth began to grow in his heart.

Everyone said it was a grave taboo for cultivators to give rise to heart demons, and that they must be purged at once. But through every day and night in the abyss, Shen Yunshen wanted nothing more than to hold himself close, and hold "him" close too.

He couldn't live without him.

The Immortal Sword Sect was in an uproar. Shen Yunshen, who had fallen into the abyss, had actually returned alive!

The protagonist's group was stunned. The dog who had once obeyed their every command had dared to bite its master!

Shen Yunshen couldn't win an argument, so he meekly retreated into his sea of consciousness and watched Shen Xunchu debate the crowd;

Shen Yunshen wasn't skilled enough to fight, so he cowered in his sea of consciousness and admired Shen Xunchu taking on ten opponents at once;

Watching Shen Xunchu get revenge on everyone who had bullied him made Shen Yunshen feel wonderful, body and soul! He sincerely believed Shen Xunchu was a gift from heaven.

He thought they would share one body forever, until an opportunity finally let him meet Shen Xunchu face to face. Shen Xunchu looked exactly like him.

He was happy, but afraid.

Happy that Shen Xunchu could truly stay by his side, but afraid that once he had a body of his own, he would abandon him.

So Shen Yunshen made the boldest decision of his life: he would seduce Shen Xunchu...

And Shen Xunchu knew everything, and indulged him in everything.
