He decided to give the scumbag a taste of his own medicine—make him suffer the same heartbreak! Rumors said the scumbag was filthy rich: elite family background, CEO status, personal chauffeur, rode in a Bentley, had umbrellas held for him in the rain, and custom-tailored clothes. Rumors also claimed he was drop-dead handsome, looks rivaling a celebrity. Bai Junyan quickly locked onto his target. Months later. Target successfully charmed—scumbag was head over heels for him. Then, Bai Junyan coldly dumped him. The scumbag, stunned, asked why. Bai Junyan smirked: *"Because you’re bad in bed."* Bai Junyan was satisfied. Told his friend: *"Bro! I avenged you!! He’ll remember this for life! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"* Friend sobbed: *"That bastard’s entire persona was fake! The luxury car was rented, the house was rented, his diploma was fake, the CEO title was fake!! Even his social media clout was bought on Taobao!!!"* …Wait? Bai Junyan felt something was off. After intense questioning— Bai Junyan: *"Holy shit, did I target the wrong guy???"* The wrong guy, horrifically vindictive with a slow reflex: *"…Who did you say was bad in bed?"* — **Innocent, sheltered young master (top) × King of sarcastic one-liners (bottom)** P.S.: 1. The scumbag and the guy Bai charmed are two different people—this is a colossal mix-up. Hence, this story’s alt title: *"A Comedy of Errors."* 2. The protagonist’s actions are wrong—do not imitate! He *will* face consequences later. 3. The protagonist is human, not a flawless saint. Avoid god-mode judgment or black-and-white interpretations.

If he didn’t, his gaze wouldn’t be so cold, and he wouldn’t have suppressed his every surge of passion when they shared a bed, refusing to give her any response.And he certainly wouldn’t have—after coordinating with the Central Plains forces to assassinate the Khan—slaughtered their infant son while he was still in swaddling clothes.

### Blurb 1 (Angst Version): The Second Prince of Heaven shattered the sacred Soul Lantern and was stripped of his powers, his beauty sealed, and exiled to the mortal realm to suffer trials.

At first, everyone bullied him—only the cold, silent Eldest Senior Brother treated him kindly. Later, he learned that the two were bound by fate: unless one perished, they were destined to become cultivation partners. His heart swelled with joy—until the day he saw his senior brother, treasonous and ruthless, pull their master into an embrace, murmuring tenderly: "Miaomiao..."

Later, the prince didn’t dodge the blade that came for him, dying beneath his senior brother’s sword. In his fading vision, he saw the disbelief on that beloved face. Returning to Heaven, battered and broken, he asked his father for a Heartless Pearl. After enduring so much suffering, he thought—being an emotionless immortal would be better. Yet he never imagined that his senior brother would become the only Demon Sovereign across the Three Realms. Only then did he learn that after his death, his senior brother had knelt bloodied beneath the phoenix tree, madly piecing together his shattered soul. ### Blurb 2 (Sweet Version): The Ninth Heaven’s Prince shattered the sacred Soul Lantern and was exiled to the mortal realm for trials.

He was sent to endure trials—not to get his face slapped repeatedly! So the prince decided: screw this. He’d embrace the mortal virtues. —Bravery: "Might as well off myself." —Optimism: "LMAO, whatever, I’ll just die." —Serenity: "Why suffer? Suicide solves everything." —Kindness: "Maybe just kill me now?" Yet somehow, his senior brother’s gaze grew increasingly... intense? —Features a "chase-to-the-crematorium" redemption arc. —Blurb sounds heavy, but the actual story is lighthearted! —Crazy x Drama Queen pairing. —Constructive criticism welcome, but no personal attacks~ **Content Warnings:** —ML is horrible early on. —ML has a fake "white moonlight" (later eliminated). —ML = strongest fighter; MC = prettiest face. —Two minor side CPs (minimal focus). —Non-traditional xianxia setting with Eastern fantasy elements. —Romance-centric, plot-light sweet/sour fluff. —Old-school "scum ML + doormat MC" lovers, tread carefully—tone is more comedic!

So when he learned that he had once been with a Beta named Zhou Huaisheng and even had a child together, his first reaction was fury. But when he saw the ordinary, impoverished Beta carrying a pale-faced child, rushing between hospitals, he couldn’t help but feel heartache. He stopped Zhou Huaisheng and demanded that the child be handed over to him for custody. Zhou Huaisheng refused. Having lost his memory twice, Lin Zhiyi retained only fragments of what happened in the past. Yet even from these fragments, he could sense Zhou Huaisheng’s past love and unwavering devotion toward him. So, he decided to steal the baby! But every time, Zhou Huaisheng caught him, taking the child back from Lin Zhiyi’s arms with a helpless look in his eyes. Lin Zhiyi kept stealing anyway. Yet as he stole, he found he couldn’t bring himself to leave. He clung to Zhou Huaisheng’s bed and began pressing for marriage: "Marry me. I’ll give you the recognition you deserve." Zhou Huaisheng looked at the approaching Lin Zhiyi and deliberately provoked him: "I can’t smell your pheromones. Go find an Alpha. There’s no use with me." Lin Zhiy turned off the light, leaned close to Zhou Huaisheng’s ear, and whispered, "If there’s no use with you, then how was the baby born?" ********************** **Next: "We Fall in Love at Night"** The unfortunate little pitiful Sheng Tang recently had a very strange dream. In the dream, his boss, Fu Linzhou, married him to escape an arranged marriage. Sheng Tang sat blankly on the edge of the bed, about to promise Fu Linzhou that he wouldn’t have any inappropriate thoughts, when Fu Linzhou entered the room, knelt before him, and took his tightly clenched hands. He said, "Baby, don’t be afraid." Only then did Sheng Tang remember—this was a dream. He sighed in relief. In the dream, Fu Linzhou treated him too well, healing all his wounds, indulging his every whim, staying with him no matter how busy he was, and holding him close at every moment. Sheng Tang laughed in his dream—only for the alarm to blare. His eyes snapped open, and his blood ran cold. With a lifeless expression, he dragged himself to work, tiptoeing as he followed Fu Linzhou, continuing his duties as a secretary. But every night, he dreamed of Fu Linzhou. The dreams grew more frequent, more vivid, so much so that Sheng Tang began to lose touch with reality. Once, on a business trip with Fu Linzhou, he woke up sprawled shamelessly on Fu Linzhou’s bed, Fu Linzhou glowering beside him. As soon as Sheng Tang opened his eyes, Fu Linzhou was about to erupt—only to see Sheng Tang gazing at him pitifully, looking utterly aggrieved. He reached out, clutching at Fu Linzhou, eyes shimmering with tears as he mumbled, "Hubby, I can’t sleep…" Fu Linzhou: "..." Later, afraid of drowning in the dream, Sheng Tang barely slept, dark circles growing like a panda’s. Fu Linzhou dragged him into the lounge, swept him up in his arms, and placed him on the bed. "In your dream," Fu Linzhou asked, "what would I do to you right now?" Sheng Tang muttered blankly, "You’d kiss me." So Fu Linzhou leaned down and kissed him. "Let’s get married. Whatever happens in your dreams, we’ll make it real." *
