Shuang Jiangnian transmigrated into a cannon-fodder sickly beauty who cultivated the Path of Heartlessness in the novel.
The original host, due to his breathtaking looks, caught the eye of the obsessive peacock protagonist, who coveted his skin and tortured him to death.
Shuang Jiangnian put on a disguise: "...I just want to laze around far away as a salted fish."
Living freely in the mortal world, he was unexpectedly offered as a sacrificial gift to a young demon boy.
The boy fiercely declared that he would take his life on the eve of his coming of age.
Unexpectedly, on the night Shuang Jiangnian's lifespan neared its end, the boy used dual cultivation to boost his cultivation.
The next morning, Shuang Jiangnian stared at the now-grown peacock protagonist beside him in silence.
Why had the boy he raised turned into the cruel protagonist from the book?
Recalling the original host's fate, Shuang Jiangnian decisively fled.
*
Later, Shuang Jiangnian was pinned down by the protagonist's claws, expecting to meet his demise just like in the original story.
Until two scalding tears dripped onto his face.
The protagonist spread his magnificent tail feathers and cried fiercely:
"Why did you run back then? Are my tail feathers not pretty enough?"
*
The Peacock Demon Sovereign had one wish.
Even before he grew his tail, he longed to display his plumage to a certain black-hearted sickly beauty.
By the time he finally grew his tail feathers, the man had vanished.
If they ever met again, he would lock him up—
And force him to watch his display, day and night, for eternity.
Flamboyant and domineering in public, silly and jealous in private — Peacock Gong.
Master bird-teaser, full of mischief, salted shark sickly beauty — Shou.
Pure and devoted to each other, Gong chases Shou, a hilarious, sweet romance.
No drama, locked comments in emotional distress. Will strive to be stronger.

When they meet again, his first love is possessed by an Eldritch God.
Xia Yin indulges in passionate nights, soothing the Omega’s heat.
"...Of course, I love you more. The pleasure you give me is unmatched. I’ll be faithful to you forever."

Then turns around and seals it in the abyss.
Before vanishing, the Eldritch God grips his throat, lips crimson with a smile:
"Don’t let me find you... Next time we meet, it’ll be your death."
*
Xia Yin’s first love returns.
Everything seems normal—each night after work, his first love prepares dinner and gives him a lingering kiss.
Behind his back, eighteen tentacles clean the dishes while another eighteen fluff the pillows.
One drunken night, his first love murmurs in complaint:
"Darling, you’re always distracted. What’s on your mind?"
"Plotting how to kill an Eldritch God," Xia Yin replies.
"It’s simple. Accept its love, and it’ll offer you its heart and soul—even grill its own tentacles for dinner."
His first love smiles sweetly.
"So, darling, can you pull the knife out of my mouth?"
"It’s hard to kiss you back properly."
Dual first love, 1v1.
