The Entire Taoist Order Owes Me a Favor

**More Serious Version:** Yunzhongjun Feng Rugui is a legendary figure in the Taoist sect and a savior of the world. At 14, with a stroke of inspiration, he created the 49-style Guixu Swordplay, astonishing all with his brilliance. At 15, mastering both cultivation and martial arts, he forged the twin swords—Luosu Qingwan and Hansu Cold Iron—earning universal admiration. At 18, trapped in the demon realm, he defended over a hundred disciples for 89 days, shocking the world. At 28, retired in Fengling, living a premature life of leisure, only to be abruptly jilted. ——————————— **Less Serious Version:** Buddhist practitioner Ruyi, the solitary blade who defends the faith, kills to protect the world. Countless Buddhas exist in the Western Pure Land, yet the only true Buddha in Ruyi’s heart is his childhood foster father, mentor, and benefactor: Lord Duanrong, Chang Boning. But Chang Boning’s heart belongs solely to his junior disciple, Feng Rugui, whom he raised himself. …Infuriating. When tasked by Chang Boning to care for Feng Rugui—his lazy, reclusive junior who hasn’t left the mountain in a decade—the habitually cold and aloof Ruyi hides his displeasure perfectly. Until one day, Ruyi discovers that Feng Rugui, just like his foster father, plays the konghou exquisitely. Ruyi, arms behind his back: "…Yunzhongjun, it seems Lord Duanrong taught you well." Feng Rugui: "Tch. Called me ‘foster father’ when you were young, now it’s ‘Yunzhongjun.’" Top: Ruyi (You Hongchen) x Bottom: Feng Rugui Charming yet ruthless Buddhist beauty (gong) x Free-spirited, ambiguous Taoist rogue (shou) **Tagline:** "The world kisses me with pain, so I repay it in kind." **Notes:** 1. Don’t ask if the gong is really bald. The answer is yes. 2. Main shou, younger gong, 1V1. A mix of angst and indulgence, beautiful gong x captivating shou, 5-year age gap. 3. Gong genuinely dislikes the shou initially for various reasons, but expect a "regret and redemption" arc. 4. Multiple CPs ahead. 5.
