Shen Junwen was the youngest top scorer in the imperial exams of the Great Liang dynasty. With his quicksilver tongue, he could talk the dead back to life. But the person he hated most was Xie Han, because Shen never had time to insult him.
Xie Han was the youngest military champion of the Great Liang dynasty, a towering mass of muscle. He could scare even the most eloquent person senseless without throwing a punch. That person was Shen Junwen.
Then an accident left them in each other's bodies.
Shen Junwen: Heh. Fighting? So crude and boring.
Headline that day: Breaking! A certain military champion has lost all his martial arts skills and was beaten bloody while standing motionless in a sparring match!
Xie Han: Heh. A scholar is useless in every way.
Headline that day: Breaking! A certain top scorer has run out of things to say. At a debate, all he could manage was one word: “Get lost!”
Shen Junwen: ...
Xie Han: ...

Shen Junwen and Xie Han had no choice but to put their grudge aside and sit down for a proper talk at a teahouse for the first time.
They couldn't reach an agreement.
Then they tried a second time, then a third. At last, on their sixth attempt, they managed to have a “peaceful” conversation.
They made a deal: when you debate, I'll protect you. If you can't win an argument, no problem. I know a little martial arts.
When you fight, I'll insult your opponent for you. If you can't win... Impossible. But from then on, Xie Han never had to pay damages after a fight again.
That's because Shen Junwen always provoked the other side until they snapped and threw the first punch.
Whoever throws the first punch has to pay!

From then on, the people of the Great Liang dynasty saw Shen Junwen and Xie Han together every day.
You called me your elder brother, and I called you my younger brother.
The two went from sworn enemies to brothers as close as if they'd sworn an oath together, so close they even shared a bed!
Until Xie Han accidentally kissed Shen Junwen, and their bodies switched back.
Xie Han: ...
Shen Junwen: ...
From that day on, if Xie Han went a single day without seeing his younger brother, Shen Junwen, he felt terribly uneasy.
If Shen Junwen went a single day without seeing his elder brother, Xie Han, he couldn't even muster the confidence to insult anyone.
But it was all right. When they kissed at night, their hearts stopped racing, and their backs straightened too.
Theme: Nothing matters more than making a good life together.
