No angst. Two male leads. Bin Quan.
On the day Lu Dongbin joined the sect, Zhongli Quan caught the wine jar rolling down the mountain gate for him.
That single catch turned into three hundred years.
The world says Lu Dongbin endured ten trials before attaining immortality.
But no one knows that his senior brother, Zhongli Quan, accompanied him through every one of them. The laws of Heaven forbade Zhongli Quan from intervening, yet he broke the rules in each of the first nine trials, losing nearly half his cultivation in the process.
Then the final trial arrived, and Heaven’s gate demanded that Lu Dongbin sever his deepest attachment in this life.
He had let go of fame and fortune, and his old friends were already buried in the earth.
Lu Dongbin thought he had nothing left to hold on to.
But when he drew his sword, its point was aimed at Zhongli Quan.
Zhongli Quan simply waved his fan as he always did and smiled.
“Junior Brother, go ahead. I accompanied you this far so I could see you become an immortal.”
Lu Dongbin looked at him, then suddenly snapped the sword in two.
“You broke Heaven’s rules for me nine times.”
“For this last one, let me accompany you.”
The logic is very clear and the plot is really interesting
