Nine Degrees of Plum Blossom

Devoted, mature younger seme • Easygoing, carefree older uke

Two male leads, a growing-up-together romance, a fated bond, a little court politics, a little xianxia, a lighthearted beginning, angst later on, a younger seme, and two fine young men growing old together.

Yuanyuan, I am someone who should never have existed.

I come from a past I cannot look back on.

But everyone I've met has been so good to me.

So very good.

I am your older brother, your lover. I'm so glad I belong to you, so glad that my future is filled with you.

I used to be so afraid.

I had nothing but you. You could have anything, except me.

Later, I realized that without you, Lu Zigui would no longer be Lu Zigui.

I was born destined to love you.

I must have done something great in my previous life, saving my country and helping the world. Otherwise, I could never have deserved your love, or the deep devotion of this life.

Zigui, I love you just as you are. I love your gentleness, your courage, and your fearlessness.

Yuanyuan has always been willing, lost in foolish devotion year after year.

It was a beautiful dream, and I don't want to wake up.

You are all my future, all that I cherish.

I'm happy because it's you, simply because it's you.

We spent the first half of our lives caught up in turmoil, tangled in love and hate.

So let's spend the rest of our lives growing old together.
