Reborn as the Dragon-Aotian Hero’s Wife

Coming soon: *My Paper-Doll Wife Turns Out to Be the Demon King Boss*. Blurb at the very bottom~ Bai Qing transmigrates into a cultivation world and becomes the man behind the protagonist, Long Aotian. The System tells him to help the male lead, Lin Zhenming, become a saint, an immortal, and a god. Full of ambition and confidence, Bai Qing resolves to become the second male lead with the most screen time, the protagonist's unforgettable white moonlight. But right from the start, the Lin family falls into ruin, and the scene is set for the engagement between the Bai and Lin families to be called off. Bai Qing is like: I know this one! Broken engagement, face-slapping, the Dragon King returns, thirty years east of the river and thirty years west, never look down on a poor young man... But why am I following the rich-and-beautiful heroine's script?! With everyone watching, he can only grit his teeth and say, “Daddy, he's not some poor boy! He'll definitely make something of himself someday. I don't care, I'm going with him!” Everyone: ??? Amid the uproar, only young Lin Zhenming looks stunned, his gaze shifting ever so slightly. And so the ill-fated pair, whom nobody believed in, elope. After they arrive at the Lin family home, Lin Zhenming clenches his fist. “I know you only helped me out of kindness. It's fine. Even if you leave later, I won't hold it against you.” Bai Qing really does have to leave after completing his mission. He nods. “Oh.” Lin Zhenming clenches his fist even tighter, his voice dropping lower. “If you're planning to leave, you can still go back right now.” Bai Qing sighs. “How old are you this year?” Lin Zhenming hesitates. “...Fifteen.” Bai Qing turns over. “You're just a kid. Go to sleep. Don't stay up thinking about all this nonsense, or you'll stunt your growth.” Lin Zhenming: “.” . Their status as childhood betrothed is awkward, so Bai Qing simply treats his husband like a little brother and bosses him around every day. “Hubby, hubby, I want some water.” Bai Qing: “Hubby, hubby, rub my legs.” Bai Qing: “Hubby, hubby, go pick up my takeout... Oh, takeout means food delivered to the house. Don't ask so many questions, just go!” Bai Qing: “Hubby~ Hubby~ Why are your ears so red~” (in a teasing, little-kid kind of way) Lin Zhenming always turns bright red, frowning as if he can't bear it, but in the end he obediently does as asked, murmuring, “Mm.” But it doesn't last. While Bai Qing is still diligently adding skill points to the protagonist, the System suddenly sheepishly tells him that it bound itself to the wrong person in its rush when he transmigrated. The real male lead is still cultivating in seclusion at his sect. Bai Qing freezes, then slaps the table. “I knew it!! What male-oriented novel has a male protagonist whose betrothed is a guy!!!” Either way, he'd raised the kid to adulthood. Looking at Lin Zhenming, now a grown man taller than him, Bai Qing beams with pride and starts packing to fake his death and run away. He gets caught less than two years later. Bai Qing is telling the male lead, “Here's the thing. I think you're a promising investment, so it's worth putting some resources into you...” The male lead suddenly takes two steps back. Bai Qing: “? What's wrong? You won't lose out, and you won't get cheated. I'm only telling you about this secret realm, so it's a great deal. Get your money out, quit stalling.” The male lead points behind him. Bai Qing turns around. Lin Zhenming has appeared without him noticing. Some time has passed, and all the youthful awkwardness has faded from him; he already has the bearing of someone in power. His gaze lingers on Bai Qing, tracing his features again and again, unable to look away. A thousand unspoken words fill his eyes. Bai Qing is smug: I raised him. Pretty imposing, huh? The System wants to shake him by the shoulders: Is now really the time for small talk?! Run! Now!!! “...So you're the one who hid my Qingqing.” Lin Zhenming finally looks at the person beside him, his gaze dark, almost ghostly. The next second, his sword is drawn and pointed at the male lead. “The grudge of stealing my wife is unforgivable!” Male lead: ??????? Male lead: Am I going to die too? Bai Qing: ?????? Bai Qing: Who? Wife? Me? #Bottom: I treated you like a little brother, closer than family, someone I'd trust with my life. I called you hubby once, and you really started thinking of me as your wife?! #Top: My virtuous wife helped me reach for the heavens, so I'll repay my virtuous wife... My wife is gone, and now I'm consumed by darkness. Please note: 1. No faction wars. Entering means you accept this. 2. The top is younger; no switching or reversal. At the start, the bottom is 16 and the top is 15. Romance only begins once both are adults. 3. The bottom is somewhat frail early on, but gets better later. 2026.6.4 . Coming soon: *My Paper-Doll Wife Turns Out to Be the Demon King Boss*, male protagonist pairing, younger top. Chusu, a well-off college student with plenty of free time, picks up a newly released Western fantasy game. In the game, every new player gets an egg, which hatches into their first contracted combat character. Some people hatch dragons, some hatch elves, and others hatch ghost knights. But a tiny person, no bigger than Chusu's palm, pops out of his eggshell. They have lovely long curls and jewel-green eyes, and glare at him with hands on their hips, looking very displeased. Name: ??? Race: ??? Combat strength: ??? Chusu clutches his chest as he stares at the screen. So. Incredibly. Cute. How could he ever send this little one into battle? So... While everyone else tries every trick to level up and farm experience, Chusu spends money like crazy on all kinds of outfit bundles for the little one: maid outfits, wizard robes, ball gowns... While everyone else works hard to collect characters and train heroes, Chusu tackles dungeons himself. Before leaving, he affectionately pats the little one's head. “Be good at home by yourself, okay?” While others discuss on the forums why they can't find the Demon King boss stage, Chusu is absorbed in pulling cards, getting knocked out by the beauty of the little one's exquisitely illustrated date cards. #Who says you can't fall in love in a battle game? . Anolan, the infamous Demon King of the dungeon. People keep disappearing in the dungeon. Even when he's sleeping peacefully at home, he can open his eyes and find himself summoned by a human into a tiny screen, and shrunk down! The clueless human has no sense of boundaries. He pinches Anolan's cheeks, rubs his head, and grins as he calls him, “Baby, why are you so cute?” Anolan has no choice but to wear a princess dress, put on cat ears, and sit obediently while the other man brushes his hair. Until the seal slowly begins to lift and Anolan gradually regains his magic. He only needs to complete one last transaction. The human makes a wish at the screen: “I wish you could come be with me.” . That evening, when Chusu gets home, he finds the fridge completely raided and snacks strewn everywhere. A very familiar beauty sits on the sofa, wavy curls cascading down, an aloof and haughty look on their face as they sip a bottle of yogurt with an air of refinement. “I have granted your wish. In exchange, you must surrender your soul, ” “And three little cakes every day.” #Little extra To raise the little one's affection, Chusu tries to farm high-level gear for them in an S-rank dungeon. But he doesn't have enough experience, and his health bar nearly runs out. At the critical moment, a black dragon suddenly appears and rescues him. The dragon carries him to a magnificent castle, growling as if it wants to trade something with him. Chusu looks around and realizes this is an unmarked location. Thinking he's triggered some hidden reward, he says, “!” As soon as he gets back, he brings the little one there. Chusu fidgets shyly. “Baby, look. I conquered this kingdom for you. Do you like it?” Anolan finally gets a chance to go home. He looks at his castle, his dragon, and then at the person beside him. His fists clench. - A seemingly flippant but actually very aggressive, low-defense, hopelessly earnest college guy x a cool, bad-tempered Demon King who's easy to placate Theme: What you hold fast to is your true self.
