I Was a Hero in Ancient Times

[Two male leads + a bond across time and space + sweet, cathartic protection + heart-wrenching angst]

With a pen, the disabled boy Mu Xiaoji created a towering presence for Jiang Chengyu and wrote a tale of two people relying on each other through life and death across time. To save a girl trapped in slumber, their souls transmigrated into a book, where the two endured life-and-death trials together. With the book spirit's help, they returned to the modern world, and Jiang Chengyu became Mu Xiaoji's ever-present guardian. He killed any enemy or demon in their way, protecting him at all costs, and would have gladly taken a blade through the chest from his own father for him.

“When I came here, I had nothing. All I brought was a sincere heart.” With the loyalty and courage of an ancient knight, he stood by Mu Xiaoji as they uncovered the truth about his past and shouldered the burden of Zidong International. But Mu Xiaoji's innocent misunderstandings and his parents' worldly prejudices eventually made their love too hard to sustain. The night he turned gray-haired in a bar marked the depths of his heartbreak. His three-day comeback at the book mall, where he displayed a photographic memory and mastered the art of business, was his final compromise.

At the wedding, he tearfully offered his congratulations while holding the bouquet that had unexpectedly landed in his hands. Then he turned and returned the phone, bank cards, and car keys, making his most painful farewell with the words, “When I leave, I'll return everything and take no regrets with me.” On a lonely stretch of beach, he carved into the sand with his inner power: “The world is wide, the mountains and rivers vast, yet there is nowhere for me. In this life, I have nowhere to turn; but where is the place I could turn to?” Every blood-soaked word laid bare his loneliness and unyielding devotion.

Two male leads, each moving toward the other: from heartfelt protection to a decisive farewell, sweetness and angst intertwined, catharsis and heartbreak side by side! Memorable lines deliver both tears and thrills, and the plot is packed with tension. All that remains after reading is a lingering ache!
