(Content warning: Qi Yan is the top. There are cross-dressing scenes, and their everyday dynamic is a weaker top and stronger bottom, though not always. This is not a traditional infinite-flow story.)
When Qi Yan opened his eyes and found himself caught in a deadly game called "Dungeon Escape," he thought his biggest challenges would be dodging werewolf bites and breaking a ghost-marriage curse. That was until he met Shen Jue, a man who calmly analyzed the rules in the blood-red mist, yet blushed at the tips of his ears whenever Qi Yan "acted vulnerable."
"The werewolves kill at night. I'll find you during the day." Shen Jue's voice carried the scent of rotting leaves, and his fingertips brushed the copper badge in Qi Yan's palm. Qi Yan lowered his eyes with a quiet laugh, hiding the bloodstained silver ring beneath his sleeve. He was no lamb in need of protection. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and Shen Jue was the alpha wolf he was willing to enter the game for.
From campus ghost stories to apocalyptic ruins, from mirror mazes to data abysses, they tested each other and found redemption at the edge of death. When Qi Yan discovered the tenderness beneath Shen Jue's mechanical bones, and Shen Jue saw through the scheming beneath Qi Yan's fragile mask, the deadly game between them began to take on a different feel.
"Shen-ge," Qi Yan said, grabbing his wrist amid a tide of corpses, the corners of his eyes red. "This time, let me protect you. But afterward, you have to let me 'bully' you in return."
Shen Jue pulled him into his arms to shield him, his mechanical eye reflecting Qi Yan's image. "You can have my life. My heart too."
I guess I'm the first reader here. Come on
I haven't finished reading it yet, I've only finished the first volume. It's a bit confusing for me, and I'm not sure if I understood it at all. Basically, Qi Yan and Shen Jue were lovers, but Qi Yan's memories were altered by the system, while Shen Jue's memories were lost. Then Qi Yan made a huge sacrifice for their future. It seems that in the second volume, Qi Yan also lost his memories, right?
It's pretty good. The two people are devoted to each other, the dungeon is quite exciting, and the male lead is also an adorable character!
