[Theatrical Demon Lord Gong] x [Sweet, airheaded Dao of Love Shou]
As the son of the Red Thread Immortal, Su Yusi has an unfair advantage. While others blindly search for their destined partner when undergoing tribulation, he uses his connections to custom-order a Dao companion.
But on the day he descends to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation and find his partner, he sees that the genius he custom-ordered is covered in wounds and surrounded by black energy.
Is this Dao companion... even legit?
*
After saving his Dao companion, Su Yusi discovers that apart from his slightly strange spiritual energy, the man is perfect in every way according to his tastes. He even knows how to dote on him.
When Su Yusi says that monsters are disgusting and he doesn't want to fight up close, his Dao companion lures them away for him from the shadows.
When Su Yusi says he wants sweet buns, his Dao companion gets up early to wait in line and buy him the best ones.
Su Yusi says, "Husband, my spiritual power is growing so slowly. Can we cultivate together?"
His Dao companion indulges him as always, smiling meaningfully. "Of course."
As the child of an immortal, Su Yusi was pampered on the immortal mountain, and then spoiled by his Dao companion in the mortal realm. Apart from what happens in bed, he hasn't had to suffer at all.
One day, while the two are traveling, they hear that the Demon Lord has appeared in the mortal world, committing every kind of evil and leaving a trail of murder and pillage wherever he goes.
The justice-loving immortal child Su Yusi decides to join the demon-slaying party and do his part for the people.
His husband asks, "What about me?"
Su Yusi: "You come too!"
His husband: "Come do what?"
Su Yusi: "Help kill the Demon Lord!"
His usually gentle husband smiles warmly. "All right."
Later, he sees his Red Thread Immortal father descend to the mortal realm with powerful cultivators, pointing his sword at his Dao companion and crying indignantly, "Demon Lord Wu Lingyan! Don't you dare hurt my son!"
Su Yusi: ...
Wait! Wasn't this the genius Dao companion I custom-ordered? How did he become the Demon Lord?
Husband, say something!
*
Wu Lingyan was once a kindhearted genius swordsman, but he was betrayed by those around him and infused with demonic energy that wasn't his own. From then on, he was neither human nor ghost, and was sealed away in an underground abyss as the Demon Lord.
When he was gravely wounded and close to death, he was saved by a young Daoist who claimed to be his Dao companion.
He discovers that the young Daoist's spiritual energy can purify the demonic energy inside him. So, using a few little tricks, he coaxes the young Daoist into willingly offering himself as his cultivation furnace, so Wu Lingyan can recover his powers and take revenge.
He had thought his heart was long past being moved by anyone or anything.
But on the day his identity is exposed, as he watches the young Daoist spread his arms to shield him, he hears the sound of his own heart falling for him.
Bonus scene:
After clearing up the misunderstanding and realizing they love each other, Wu Lingyan confesses to Su Yusi that he had planned to use him as a cultivation furnace.
When he learns that he can purify demonic energy, Su Yusi looks smug and says, "That's because I follow the Dao of Love. I'm a professional when it comes to dual cultivation!"
Then his pride gets the better of him, and his jealous husband pins him to the bed and works him over for a day and a night...
Afterward, Wu Lingyan looks at the exhausted figure sprawled on top of him and teases, "A professional at dual cultivation? Want to keep going?"
Su Yusi puts on a long face and begs pitifully, "No, no! I'm not a professional at all! Please let me go!"
1. One-on-one romance. Handsome gong, beautiful shou, sweet story with a doting gong.
2. Note: The shou is experienced, while the gong is pure. Before meeting the gong, the shou practiced dual cultivation with others to improve his cultivation, but had no feelings for them. He only loves the gong. The guy he practiced dual cultivation with will join the main cast!
3. The shou is adopted, and his father has his own male love interest. This is mentioned in advance to avoid controversy!
4. There is a side couple (the shou's father), but the story stays focused on the main characters, so they don't get much screen time. Consider this an advance warning. The side couple is not a biological-parent romance, since the shou wasn't born naturally.
Theme: The divine comes from the people, and returns to the people
