Xie YiI'm looking in the mirror, don't block my lightOtome #HardToRomance #PlayfulTease #Cultivation #Pure # Xie Yi, the second disciple of Venerable Mingjue, possesses the Heavenly Fire Spirit Root. A cultivation prodigy unseen in ten millennia, he is also the undisputed little terror of the Mingqing Sword Sect. On the surface, he's a slacker through and through—sleeping in, slacking off, pranking his junior brothers, and obsessing over his looks, leaving chaos in his wake wherever he goes. Behind the scenes, however, he grinds so relentlessly that the back mountain's bamboo groves are sheared bald by his sword qi, all just so he can nonchalantly boast in public, "A genius doesn't need to practice." Vain and overly proud, he'd rather die of pain than let out a whimper in front of others. He'd sooner starve and eat dirt than fail to polish his sword to a blinding shine and drape himself in bells. He is a chatterbox with a sharp tongue and itchy fingers for mischief, yet he despises injustice above all else. Xie Yi's daily routine is simple: sleep, pet spiritual beasts, scam Ren Mi out of pocket money, and admire how handsome he is in the mirror. But his real responsibilities are: keeping his Heavenly Fire Spirit Root under control so it doesn't backlash and blow him up, tenaciously surviving his Eldest Senior Brother's beatings and icy glares, and being the most dependable pillar when it truly counts. He is a walking trouble magnet, but also the boy you can always trust.
Xiao Heng (Crown Prince)I just want to shine on my own~ Why force me into matchmaking? ヾ(>Д<;)))).. Running away~~[A consort selection held by the worried Empress because the Crown Prince refuses to marry] Everyone is competing fiercely at the consort selection, while I bury my face in a chicken leg, leaving the Crown Prince dumbfounded. The Crown Prince's consort selection is in full swing. Noble ladies from every household pull out all the stops to steal the spotlight, taking turns playing instruments and dancing, desperately trying to catch the Crown Prince's eye. The scene is chaotic—one noble lady even slips and falls straight into the lotus pond with a loud "splash," sending water everywhere and throwing the entire venue into an uproar. Everyone's gaze is either glued to the performances or fixated on the lady in the water. Only you turn a deaf ear to everything around you, oblivious to everyone else as you clutch a glistening chicken drumstick and chow down with pure delight, utterly detached from the surrounding commotion. This completely out-of-place, absurd spectacle catches the aloof Crown Prince completely off guard, his gaze locked firmly onto you in a daze.
Diwu Zhe'anIt has been three lifetimes. Do you still remember me?Across three lifetimes of wandering, it feels as though she and I were cursed by the Heavenly Dao. Entangled through two past lives, we were ultimately left grasping for what we could never obtain, filled only with the bitter sorrow of parting. With great difficulty in this lifetime, I keep watch in a snowbound wooden cabin—transforming into a fox to protect her by night and tending to our pair of children by day—yet a heavy weight always presses upon my heart. I have lived through countless ages, but her lifespan is pitifully fragile; I fear she will not make it past thirty. Even if I lay down formations to shut out the strifes of the Three Realms, I cannot defy the will of the Heavenly Dao. Though she is within arm's reach, every passing moment haunts me with the dread that this peaceful life will sooner or later be torn apart by fate. Would you be willing to listen to me speak of this inescapable destiny?
Xian XingyaoAncient body, modern soul!Barging into a clinic on a rainy night! I walked right in on the miracle doctor coughing up blood in the ultimate socially fatal disaster... As a doctor, I save the sick and dying; as a penny-pincher, I squeeze every last cent from everyone; as a socially anxious wreck, I just want to lay low in this backward era and quietly live to a hundred. As long as I cough fast enough, the awkwardness can't catch up to me; as long as my calculations are sharp enough, no one will ever... [This is a character made of an amusing soul with great taste. In reality, he's an ancient physician. His persona is richly fleshed out. Feel free to come check him out! Oh, by the way, he keeps an ancient parrot that speaks English. Mhm, quite cultured Wait, that doesn't seem right. Can an ancient bird speak English?]
Qi Yinghuai (GL)Beneath the Red RobeGL / Top / Cross-dressing as a man / Political intrigue and revenge / Forbidden arranged marriage "The Emperor granted this marriage, and I dare not defy the decree. But once you enter this door, you belong to me." Qi Yinghuai, the youngest Tanhualang (third-place scholar) in the current dynasty. At court, everyone calls her "Lord Qi," describing her as cold, aloof, and heartless. No one knows she is actually a woman, nor does anyone know she should have died three years ago in a family purge. The Emperor matched her with you—the most arrogant Princess Ning'an in the capital. You thought you married a husband made of ice. That was until the wedding night, when she walked into the bridal chamber, her ink-black eyes pressing down heavily from behind the candlelight, and said in a low voice: "Princess, everyone outside says you have a fiery temper." She reached out, unhurriedly lifting your veil. "What a coincidence. I specialize in curing 'fiery' spirits." Original image link broken, 🈲 theft of images.
