[Two equally strong leads + two male leads + pure love + devoted to each other + mutual pursuit + 1v1 + happy ending]
After dying from staying up all night reading a novel, Pei Heng transmigrates into the role of a doomed villainous senior disciple, full of questions.
Then, after being bound to an unreliable System, he learns that he has a cauldron body, a constitution seen only once in a thousand years.
It feels like the future has gone dark, then darker still. Terrifyingly dark.
To save his own skin, Pei Heng rewrites the script overnight. He goes from an arrogant, overbearing villain to someone who fusses over Xie Yanchuan.
Taking hits for him, refining medicine, braving secret realms: Pei Heng is always first into the fray, smiling brightly. “Be good, Junior Brother. Stick with your senior brother, and I’ll make sure you eat well and live comfortably.”
Xie Yanchuan quietly accepts all his kindness, but his gaze grows ever darker, like a poison-tipped hook winding around Pei Heng until he can hardly breathe.
Only after the mystery in his heart is finally solved does Pei Heng realize just how wonderful his junior brother is.
On a rainy night in the bamboo grove, Xie Yanchuan pins Pei Heng against the cold, damp shadows. His fingers stroke the nape of Pei Heng’s neck, and his hot breath brushes his ear. “You’re so good to me, Senior Brother. Aren’t you afraid I’ll… take advantage of it?”
Pei Heng sees the dark tide surging in his eyes, and his legs go weak. Help! He just wants to stay alive.
The only regret is that Yan Yu has not returned yet.
