(Two male leads + childhood friends + fellow disciples + love and hate + star-crossed love + sworn enemies)
Slow burn + a touch of ensemble cast
What do you do when you’re locked in a room with your nemesis while competing for the last inheritance in a secret realm? The room is called “You Can’t Leave Unless You Truly Hate Each Other.”
Wouldn’t that make it even easier? Just walk right out.
But to their surprise, an oddly charged atmosphere drifted between the two of them inside the room.
After a long while,
Jiang Xingyan, young master of the Wanli Sword Sect,
glared at Wei Yunchi, his former beloved senior brother and current enemy,
and stepped forward to open the door.
But it wouldn’t budge.
Jiang Xingyan turned and glared at Wei Yunchi, his voice filled with disbelief.
“You don’t hate me?”
Wei Yunchi’s beautiful, peach-blossom eyes brimmed with devotion and indescribable anguish.
He shook his head and took Jiang Xingyan by the wrist.
“I’ve never hated you.”
In the end, they did get out. But in the cultivation world, the story of the two of them changed from that of sworn-enemy senior and junior brothers to that of a famous bickering couple.
A couple in the “I thought I hated you, but actually I was just suffering because I loved you” category.
