Weren’t You Supposed to Wipe Out My Family? Why Are You Offering Yourself to Me?

[Two Male Leads + Younger Man/Older Man + Both Devoted to Each Other + Love and Hate with All Their Hearts + Obsessive Devotion] Xie Wuwang endured a thousand years in the Ten-Thousand Ghost Cavern. The feeling of being stabbed through the heart by the person he trusted most, then watching his entire family slaughtered, stayed with him for a full thousand years. The day he crawled out of the cavern, he swore: He would find that person, lock him up, and make him taste what it meant to wish he were dead. But when he really did lock that aloof, unattainable beloved into the Ten-Thousand Ghost Cavern and watched resentful spirits tear into him until his immortal bones shattered, Xie Wuwang found he couldn’t bring himself to go through with it. The man was always calm, never crying out in pain or begging for mercy. He only mouthed a silent phrase whenever Xie Wuwang turned away. Xie Wuwang told himself it was hatred. Only in the final moment, as the righteous and demonic factions joined forces to kill him and golden light burst forth, did he finally understand the words that had gone unspoken for a thousand years: “I’m sorry” and “I love you.” Later, in the bitter cold of the far north, someone waited a thousand years with a soul lamp in his arms. At the end of the wind and snow, a familiar voice rang out: “Shen Qingyan, I’ve come to collect my debt.” This time, with interest, you’ll repay me by giving yourself to me.
