[Male-Male Romance] [Cultivation] [Older Top] [Both Powerful] [Growing Up Together] [Romance-Focused]
Support ace, gorgeous guqin cultivator bottom × loyal, hard-luck, destined-to-be-great sword cultivator top
Zhu Zhibai had a miserable childhood: poor, pitiful, without a father or mother, and burdened with a special constitution.
Only after his master personally brought him back to the sect did he finally start living well. His master said he was a golden treasure, a musical cultivator genius seen only once in a thousand years, but Zhu Zhibai wasn't convinced.
Later, when he became the undisputed number one in the immortal sects, he had no choice but to believe it. He even risked his life, facing a thousand enemies alone just to save another poor little soul.
Lu Yunyi was a textbook case of a poor, pitiable soul. Even the one thing of value he possessed, his sword bones, was coveted by his sect. So he pitifully fled the sect, pitifully killed his own master, and pitifully joined an immortal palace, before making a name for himself through sheer ruthlessness.
During his escape, a beautiful guqin cultivator took pity on him and helped him. Later, once he had grown strong enough, he went to repay the young guqin cultivator, only to discover that he was a distinguished prodigy of a great sect, someone Lu Yunyi once hadn't even been worthy of looking at. Feeling inferior, he could only gaze at him longingly, afraid the other would despise him.
Luckily, fate took pity on him, and he managed to win a place by his side.
Bottom's POV. At first, Zhibai and Yunyi grow up together as two little kids. In the middle, they become leaders of the righteous path. There's love at first sight, in their childhood versions, and a rare childhood sweetheart couple, in their teenage versions.
