Everyone at school knew that the bully Lin Yue'an had hard fists and a fiery temper, and was a little thug everyone avoided.

Even his childhood friend Xia Yuchuan, the top student who always ranked first in the whole school, thought so.

A top student and a school bully. They didn't look like the kind of people who could get along. Even Xia Yuchuan himself thought so, and unilaterally declared, "I don't have a friend named Lin Yue'an."

Lin Yue'an couldn't bear to let him go. The once-arrogant school bully clumsily tried to clean up his image. He sheathed his claws and hid his sharp edges, following Xia Yuchuan like an inseparable puppy, clinging so hard that even the underclassmen who idolized him were stunned. "You call this a school bully?"

But no matter what Lin Yue'an did, Xia Yuchuan still responded with the same cold, indifferent expression.

Lin Yue'an was tired. Maybe he should just give up.

Just as he resolved to let go, he discovered Xia Yuchuan's secret...

*

Xia Yuchuan didn't dare tell anyone.

He was an impostor.

He had taken another person's identity, claimed their friends, and enjoyed the affection that should never have belonged to him...

So he had always avoided Lin Yue'an, waiting for the day everything could be put right.

On the day his lie was exposed, he thought Lin Yue'an would finally let him go. Instead, he saw the person he had pushed away time and again running back to him once more...

Note: Lin Yue'an is pronounced Lin Yue'an.

1. Both leads are sexually exclusive, and this is a steadfast 1v1. They only ever love each other romantically.

2. A school story. They officially get together during the post-school arc.

3. No misunderstandings or falling for someone else, but there is a second-chance romance. The gong's name isn't Xia Yuchuan, and this will be explained later. There's even a rivalry between the real and fake Xia Yuchuans in the latter part of the school arc!

4. The angst-and-reconciliation arc is for the real Xia Yuchuan! The gong and shou's love is pure and super sweet!

[Theatrical Demon Lord Gong] x [Sweet, Lovable Emotion Dao Shou]

While other cultivators pursue the ruthless Great Dao and sever their romantic ties, Su Yusi insists on cultivating the Emotion Dao! He's the son of the Red String Immortal, and the Emotion Dao guarantees ascension. Having powerful connections means he can do as he pleases!

But he never expected that even the strongest connections couldn't save him from the hardest tribulation of all: a romantic one.

Su Yusi: "Does that make any sense? I'm cultivating the Emotion Dao, and I can still have a tribulation?"

To lessen the pain of his romantic tribulation, Su Yusi pulled strings through his father to get what was supposedly the perfect tribulation partner.

Red String Immortal: "Look, this is the partner I've arranged for you. He's handsome, and he was born with immortal bones..."

Su Yusi's heart stirred. "Dad, that's enough! I'm going to face my tribulation right now!"

Su Yusi happily descended to the mortal world to face his tribulation. But after he left, the Red String Immortal realized that the person he'd connected to his son didn't have immortal bones at all. They were clearly demon bones! He'd mistakenly matched his son with a demon!

*

The Demon Lord Wu Lingyan was framed by a villain, lost all his cultivation in a single day, and ended up in a remote village in the mortal realm, where he was rescued by a silly young cultivator.

When he woke, he saw the young cultivator beaming with delight and pointing at him, eyes shining. "Want a Dao companion? A heavenly immortal sent you to me!"

Wu Lingyan sensed that the young cultivator was descended from the union of an immortal and a human, and had abundant spiritual power. Wasn't he the perfect cultivation furnace?

A gift delivered right to his door was too good to refuse, so he said, "Sure."

*

Su Yusi thought his father's choice of romantic tribulation partner was perfect in every way. He was devastatingly handsome, powerful, and protective, and even his skills in bed were first-rate.

There was just one thing that seemed a little strange...

After they finished dual cultivation yet again, Su Yusi lay limp in Wu Lingyan's arms, feeling the surging spiritual energy within him. Puzzled, he asked, "Husband, is your spiritual energy a little too fierce?"

Wu Lingyan gently brushed the sweat-damp hair away from Su Yusi's temple, his smile full of meaning. "Is it? Then let's send in some more to suppress it."

1. 1v1. Handsome gong and beautiful shou, a sweet story where the gong dotes on the shou.

2. Please note: the shou is not sexually inexperienced, but the gong is. Before meeting the gong, the shou had dual cultivation with others for the sake of cultivation, but had no feelings for them. He only loves the gong. One of his former dual-cultivation partners will join the main cast!

3. The shou is adopted, and his father has his own male love interest. Stating this in advance to avoid controversy!

4. There is a secondary couple, the shou's father and his love interest, but the story sticks to the main characters' perspective, so they won't appear much. Still, consider this a heads-up. The secondary couple isn't a parent-child romance, since the shou wasn't born naturally.

Theme: True love lies in the soul, not the skin.
