[Two male leads + reborn + both virgins + older love interest + prickly uke + widower seme]
A seemingly desireless but secretly twisted widower seme x a sharp-tongued, prickly uke who is secretly in love
While the other senior and junior disciples are as close as brothers, Shen Qi and Xie Jin rarely get along.
Shen Qi loves challenging him to spar, so the sect is always missing a gate or a plaque.
Shen Qi is forever trying to prove himself better than Xie Jin.
Then one day, Shen Qi happens to hear that Xie Jin has a "moonlight" he has loved for years.
Shen Qi scoffs, mocking the idea that someone as cold and hard as Xie Jin could have a sweetheart.
But fate has other plans: Shen Qi is arranged to marry this very "moonlight."
Sure enough, on the wedding day, Xie Jin shows up at the wedding banquet with a sword in hand.
But Shen Qi is currently in the bridal chamber, wearing a red veil.
Xie Jin arrives brimming with murderous intent and lifts Shen Qi's red veil.
Just as Shen Qi thinks Xie Jin is about to hack him to pieces and kidnap the groom, Xie Jin takes him away in front of everyone.
Wait, that's not how this is supposed to go.
The jade slip consoles him: Maybe he's worried the scene would be too scary, so he decided to get you away from the crowd.
Shen Qi consoles himself: ...That's true.
When Xie Jin kisses Shen Qi, a thousand thoughts rush through his mind.
That's not right!!
The jade admonishes him again: Maybe he's just trying to give you breath.
Shen Qi: Oh... that's true.
When Xie Jin starts undressing Shen Qi, he panics and tries to run.
The jade admonishes him again: Maybe he just wants to help you get undressed?
Shen Qi: ...
The jade slip: Maybe your Jin-ge is a believer in platonic love.
One day, the Venerable Master gazes at the sect's plaque with relief. Thank goodness, all that collapsed was a bed.
