ARC 1

Dan Heng is a member of one of the last surviving sects in a world razed by the Demon lord, Ren. His sect has an artifact that could end Ren’s life so Ren is in the hunt for it since it is his only weakness. While they are holding back Ren’s onslaught on their sect his seniors himeko and welt decided to use the artifact and send Dan Heng to the past to prevent the Demon lord’s destruction. A few hundred years ago Ren was a human prince who was born with Shuhu’s flesh, the original demon lord.

It lays dormant within him but due to him being cursed the people treat him with disdain and suffer abuse, the moment he was killed from it is when he rose as the demon lord to return to them what he experienced tenfold. Dan Heng's mission is to ensure that Ren won’t experience the cruelties he suffered and that he would live on normally at the same time finding a way to destroy Shuhu’s flesh in him. As his seniors were completing the ritual to send him back in time, Ren has already breached the sect and is now standing in front of DH who witnessed the slaughter of his friends, before he disappeared he vowed that he would kill Ren.

DH wakes up 700 years in the past in the body of Dan Feng, a haughty second prince of the Luofu. He suddenly discover that one, he is married to Yingxing (Ren’s name before he became the Demon lord) for half a year already. Two he is also one of the people who abused him, three Yingxing is nothing like the Demon lord Ren he saw, where was the cruel Demon lord who plunged the world into chaos. This man seems docile and why is he kneeling in the garden in the middle of winter?! (“Master Dan Feng, you are the one who ordered him to do this….”his servant reminds him) Oh great! not off to a great start, why didn’t he travel to the time before he got married to him, how is he supposed to win the trust of someone who is wary of him already. also another hurdle is that he doesn’t know how he will interact with him esp the last time he saw him he slaughtered his friends how the heck would he interact with the murderer but that was him from the future, This is now and he will make sure he would succeed in his mission with the hand that he is dealt with but first he gets him out of there and stops the “punishment” that Dan Feng gave him.

Yingxing was confused on the sudden change of attitude with Dan Feng, he was suspicious and distrustful of this “new” Dan Feng since it might be another one of his ploys and it's back to beatings again.DH also finds out that the servants disrespect him and DF does nothing about it and just lets his servants, he doesn't really care about his husband cuz he is just a hostage prince.

Yingxing is a prince from Zhuming who was sent to Luofu as hostage as part of the peace treaty between two kingdoms and was chosen to be Dan Feng’s betrothed. DH tries to be nice to him but all he get is wary glances, one time he was able to make Yingxing talk, YX tries to warn him that whatever he is planning now gotta stop as if it would change his opinion of him because at the end of the day DF would still treat him as he always does. DH asks why he thinks that and finds out what he thought of everyone of how everyone simply enjoys on hurting the weak altho he hasn’t done anything to warrant such treatment” so DH asks him if he has any grudges he just answers with its already exhausting enough to survive in this hellish place he doesn't have energy to think about anything else.

It gave DH insight on YX and how he became Demon lord in the first place, no one showed him kindness and guided him on the right path since he was only shown cruelty so he will give back cruelty so he decided to be that person the one who will guide him to the right path.

After that, their relationship changes, DH tries to do things for him like feeding him proper food, buying him proper winter clothes, and hanging out with him. YX slowly warms up to DH since even though they don't talk much his presence is comforting since he is not alone anymore. YX thought that DF is starting to care for him but all of that was dashed when he accidentally eavesdrop on DF and crown prince Yubie, DH tries to act like the haughty prince that DF is since his brother inquired on the sudden shift in attitude with YX, He thought he hated him so he tells his brother that he extended kindness since he is worried that it wouldn't be good for the kingdom if Zhuming finds out they mistreated their prince, The peace treaty is already delicate as it is. If Yubie thinks that DF cares for YX, don't because he can’t truly care for him, it’s impossible ... he never liked him from the start anyway, he hates him with every fiber of his being.

YX was disappointed and furious because all of the kindness that was shown to him by DF wasn't genuine and was all just a ploy. Most of all he was angry with himself for believing it, he should've known, people dont change that easily. He was deceived by that kindness, that DF only cares so that Luofu would be safe but in the end they still think that he is a jinx who only brings disasters. For the first time, he wanted vengeance which activated his dormant powers

YX tried to unleash his newfound powers at a royal banquet hosted by Yubie by summoning spirits, he was surprised on how DF was able to protect his brother with warding charms, he didn’t expect DF to be capable like that. DH found YX and tried to protect him with his body from the spirits that surrounded them, this left YX perplexed so he got rid of the spirits.

DH was relieved that they are both safe now and checks if YX is injured anywhere while YX internally wonders if DF hates him why would he sacrifice himself to save him? YX is prepared to trust him again since for him actions speak louder than words, so he confronts DF on why go back and save him since he saw that he was running out of the mansion. DH tells him that they are husbands am i not suppose to protect you and be with you for better or worse

YX asks if he likes him, DH reluctantly answers yes and reasons out that they have grown fond of each other since they have spent time together recently.

YX: If you like me, teach me those charms you used this way we can spend more time together

DH: why would you want to learn that?

YX: because i also want to be capable of protecting my loved one

DH is surprised that someone like him suddenly has something he wants to protect, so he agrees and makes him promise to take care of himself too because he really doesn’t want to risk his life to save him again.

They spend time in the library with DH teaching YX illusion charms, he shows him an illusion of maple forest, and a vast galaxy of stars. They became closer and fell asleep on each other till Yubie found them the next day which embarrassed DH greatly.

They also went out and spent the whole day at a festival which made YX loosen up and felt special since all of DF's attention was on him, they even played in the snow and lit up fireworks. YX was smiling at DF as he watched him light up fireworks, he starts falling for him now.

Messengers from zhuming secretly contacted yx to let him know that he needs to go back to his kingdom and take back the throne from the usurpers since his father is now bedridden but why should he when they were the ones who threw him here in the first place being a cursed prince.

Also he doesn't want to go back since DF is in luofu but the situation seems dire if the messengers started begging so YX tried to take DF with him but refused since it can be seen as DF defecting and betraying the luofu if DF goes with him so yx has kidnaps him instead.

While on the boat to zhuming, it was revealed that the messengers were in on it too and tried assassinating yx but with yx powers slaughtering them was easy and DH who managed to escape from captivity witnessed this scene.

Even after all the time they spent dh still doesn't trust yx after all it's still his mission to prevent the demon lord rising. And his current actions just proves that his real nature cant be changed as he could easily slaughter people.

DH escaped by jumping from the ship, YX also follows later even with his powers he is still human, injured and outnumbered. Once ashore, he also find yx weak from injuries and apparently poisoned too so he tries to nurse him back to health and tells him he isn't allowed to die. When he is well enough, DH leaves him near zhuming where attendants who are still on yx side found him. He returned to Zhuming, overthrew the usurpers and was crowned emperor.

DH travels all around zhuming trying to find a clue about shuhu’s flesh, DH believes he can find information about it on yx homeland. At the same time Yubie deploys an army to rescue his brother that yx kidnapped and orders they kill yx afterwards.

-ARC 1 END-

Stay tuned for Arc 2~

@witchmachine replied to your post "WIP TAG GAME!"

sorry, but I have to know what "NO!!!" is...

plz imagine me wearing a little waiter outfit as I say, "oh, very good choice!" that is the role reversal au that @lesamys yes-anded me into where dfs has wandered the jianghu, mostly depowered, for 10 years after donghai and fdb is his hanger-on/little guy who lives in his house (dubcon). (llh is busy doing [redacted].)

He wasn’t hiding from her. It was a—strategic retreat. He had strategically retreated to the upstairs hallway of the inn after Jiao Liqiao came into the dining room because he was in no mood to fight her off. He could hear her overturning half the tables, shouting at the waiters. Sooner rather than later, they’d be convinced by her mounting property damage to rat him out. Yes, they’d seen a tall man with once-fine clothes and a three days’ beard—if only Miss Jiao would please stop breaking the nice tableware.  He eyed the series of identical doors to guest rooms. It being early evening, the dinner hour, they were probably not occupied. He could go into one and clamber through a window and make the best of the drop from the second story. Could spend a little neili on the jump, even, if he had to. He had just chosen the third door—was about to shove it open—when it whisked open under his hands.  “Lao Di!” cried an all too familiar voice.  Di Feisheng groaned. He was beset on all sides. “Hello, Fang Duobing.” A familiar flutter of blue silk engulfed him. He stood still, arms at his sides, and did not hug Fang Duobing back. Once he had finished clinging—although he did not actually let go of Di Feisheng’s arms—Fang Duobing said sulkily, “You told Xiaoyi where I was, didn’t you?” “Yes,” Di Feisheng said. He hustled Fang Duobing into the bedroom, shutting the door behind him. “I was trying to get rid of you.” “Lao Di!” Fang Duobing shouted. “How could you?” The boy was pouting at him, gesticulating wildly and expounding on the cruelty and suffering and many fantastic meals he had experienced while trapped at Tianji Manor.

[mx-myth]

Post-canon difang amnesia au where someone decides that di feisheng needs to die once and for all. They don't exactly succeed but once again dfs loses his memory. When he wakes up on the bank of a river all he has is three words written on his palm: find fang duobing.

He picks himself up and finds that when he asks around everyone is all too happy to tell him about fdb. Oh yes! That gongzi, they tell him, he's a hero! He's going to kill the number one villain in the jianghu!

Dfs doesn't know it yet but whoever made that attempt on his life threw fdb under the bus. It's meant to be another donghai-sized misunderstanding except that he's lost his memories.

He continues onward and eventually finds himself at Tianji Manor. The servant who lets him in is wide-eyed but when he asks for fdb their face turns downright scared. He's timidly informed that their shaoye is out right now.

That's fine, dfs says. He plops down right there to wait.

Master He, who has perhaps not seen her son since li lianhua was supposed to be at the beach, is told of this situation. She's heard the rumors that her son is looking to kill dfs and, half-believing this, storms out to give him a piece of her mind.

Dfs is wildly confused about why this woman is yelling at him. He's vaguely scared of her but it's not because he finds her intimidating. He doesn't know why.

Luckily this is the moment that fdb arrives home. He's tired and exhausted and forcing himself to take a break from his search for llh. "Niang!" He calls.

And then he stops. Dfs stares at him around his mother. "Lao-Di?" He says. His voice is wavering and cracks in the middle.

He stands and stumbles towards him. They meet in the middle of the yard and fdb looks like he wants to hug him but he thrusts his palm out at him before he can. "Fang Duobing?"

Fdb stares at it before taking it and cradling his hand in his own. His eyes are as huge as the moon when he looks at him. "A-Fei?"

Dfs may not know the difference but he can feel it. Whoever he was before was this boy's Lao-Di but right now he's his A-Fei. The name knocks a single memory loose - knowing nothing, like he does now, and a warm and familiar voice calling him A-Fei. He looks at him and clutches at his hands. "Who am I?"

So on top of the search for llh fdb and a-fei have to hunt down whoever tried to kill dfs. Fdb knows how to exist with dfs; without the barrier of llh, he's lost on what to do with a-fei. But they relearn how to work together, how to coexist, and step by step a-fei regains his memories.
