Bold, slow-on-the-uptake shou x refined, easily jealous gong
They're very much cousins!
In the mortal world, the heir apparent Yu Qingyao was outstanding, and despite being the younger cousin, he took care of his older cousin, Sheng Zezhou, in every way.
As the son of the richest man in the land, Sheng Zezhou was flamboyant and generous. His family often told him to learn from his excellent younger cousin.
Who could have guessed that once they entered the cultivation world, Sheng Zezhou would be blessed with exceptional talent and surpass Yu Qingyao at every turn...
Just when everyone was waiting to see their heir apparent turn jealous and evil, Yu Qingyao instead cheerfully kept Sheng Zezhou company every day.
Everyone: "That's got to be fake. He's just pretending to save face! ...Wait! Why are Sheng Zezhou and Yu Qingyao making out behind the mountain?!"
Synopsis:
In the southeast of the Great Zui Dynasty, life was prosperous and peaceful. Yu Qingyao, heir to the Prince Jing's estate, was cool and refined as jade; Sheng Zezhou, son of the richest man in Jiangnan, was handsome and lively.
They were cousins of high social standing in the mortal world, but an accident during an autumn hunt led them to the immortal staircase rising above the sea of clouds. Together, they entered the Chengxian Sect, where they faced sidelong glances from their fellow disciples, competition for resources, and trials of the heart born from their worldly ties. They continued to trust and protect each other as they always had, but their feelings began to stir.
One offered his affection openly, while the other cared for him in secret, willing to give everything...
The path to immortality was long, but they also met like-minded companions, forged bonds of life and death, and grew through their shared adventures. Then they discovered a vast conspiracy, shrouded over the cultivation world for a century, that sought to devour heaven and earth.
