Miao Li is a minor character in a novel about a heaven-defying hero.
The good news is that he'll eventually gain special abilities, follow the protagonist around doing whatever he wants, lie flat, and enjoy a wonderful new life.
The bad news is that he's fallen for the protagonist, who's a block of wood with no interest in men or women.
Heartbroken, Miao Li is ready to bow out after accomplishing his mission. So why is the protagonist holding his hand and refusing to let him go?
(The protagonists aren't perfect people.
Xiao Li will be a bit of a weakling early on, but he'll gradually grow stronger. The characters may change quite a bit over time, so consider this a heads-up.)
(There may possibly be a tiny bit of nonhuman romance.)
