Synopsis

[Dual male leads + sickly beauty + transmigrate into a book + unrequited love + redemption + mutual imprisonment + a touch of ensemble cast]

A writing exercise. Don't overthink it, thanks (*≧∪≦)🙏🏻

Xie Yunshu transmigrates into a power fantasy harem cultivation novel and becomes the “close friend” of its protagonist, Chu Linyuan.

They join the immortal sect together, grow through trials together, and even share a bed and face life and death side by side.

Xie Yunshu buries all his forbidden feelings and plays the perfect brother, until his memories awaken and he discovers that he's merely a “traitor” destined to be pierced through the heart by Chu Linyuan's sword.

Worse still, Chu Linyuan... hates gay men more than anything.

He decides to keep his distance, but Chu Linyuan completely loses control.

“Xie Yunshu,” the once upright protagonist says, gripping him by the throat, his eyes bloodshot. “Now that you've tempted me, don't think you can run.”

You are my only light, and also my greatest inner demon.

Notes:

1. The story is told mostly from the bottom's perspective, but the two perspectives are split about evenly. The top dotes on the bottom.

Bottom: Xie Yunshu, a transmigrator, sweet on the outside and dark within, who knowingly falls deeper even though he knows he shouldn't fall in love.

Top: Chu Linyuan, stern and taciturn, with difficulty recognizing his own emotions. He can't tell dependence from love, and he's homophobic but makes an exception for himself.

Sometimes Xie Yunshu seems even more straight than Chu Linyuan (not really).

Readers who are extremely devoted to either the top or the bottom may want to leave.

2. Don't overthink it. Don't overthink it. Don't overthink it!

3. There will be side couples, but they won't get much page time.

4. Slow burn.

5. Most important of all:

The author is a beginner. The writing and logic are both average.

I've dared to write this review without reading much. I personally love the interactions between Shushu and Xiaoyuan; the familiarity between childhood friends and the subtle atmosphere between them are just so wonderful. The writing style is also incredibly comfortable. I especially love seeing these spirited young people together, fearlessly venturing out into the world. Looking forward to the next installment!

The author writes so well! I absolutely love stories like this, with a large group of people having a great time. It feels like the story is still in its early stages, and I'm really looking forward to the rest. I saw you mentioned a plot involving a fake death; could you write it super angsty? I think angst is really captivating! Also, could the main characters all stay alive?

I've only read a little bit and haven't finished yet, but it's really good! I love this kind of food-themed setting 😳 I love the way the straight man goes around without restraint, and the young couple showing off to everyone like this. But I saw in the author's comments that some of the main characters will have tragic endings, which is so heartbreaking! Can't everyone just have a happy ending?

It's great! I love this kind of twisted and complex relationship between two people. The only downside is that it's not enough. I suggest the author release 1000 chapters in a row to show me their talent! 😏

I can only say that the author is being modest with their brief summary. I was simply blown away today. From the short time I've been following the story, my feelings have unconsciously shifted as the plot unfolds. Not only are their perspectives and understandings deepening, but my understanding of them and their world is also deepening. I'll leave another review after it's finished. So far, it's definitely a worthwhile investment! ദ്ദിᵔ.˛.ᵔ₎✧

Personally, I think the writing and plot are really good. The author is really kind and patient. The explicit content needs to be viewed on other apps, and they sent it to me because I can't access it 😢 Although I haven't seen it yet 😢😢, I'm really 😢 touched. I hope the author is happy every day, keep it up! [KISS][KISS][KISS][KISS] 😳😳😳😳
