Also titled Breaking Your Bones. A mad, love-turned-to-hate senior disciple × a clever, devoted, frail junior disciple.
Strong leads | Eastern fantasy | Love and hate intertwined | Marriage before love.
Ten years ago, Yan Qing, a disciple of the immortal sect, dug out his senior brother's divine bone with his own hands to seize its power, then pushed him into the Demon Abyss.
Now Shen Tinglan has returned to the immortal sect, and the first thing he does is force Yan Qing, once his junior brother, to marry him.
Beneath the red wedding candles, Shen Tinglan pins Yan Qing down and says bitterly, "You'll start paying me back tonight."
Yan Qing presses a hand to his aching abdomen, his gaze still as a pool of dead water.
Yan Qing never refuses Shen Tinglan, and for a time Shen Tinglan thinks it's because Yan Qing feels indebted to him.
Until one day, drunk, Yan Qing corners Shen Tinglan against a wall and repeats over and over:
"Don't go."
Later, chaos erupts in the immortal realm. Ascended immortals turn to dry bones and fall from the heavens one after another.
The name of the mastermind behind it all is one they know all too well.
Forced to join hands, the two face danger at every turn.
Shen Tinglan sees with his own eyes as Yan Qing, dragging his broken body, shields all living beings from disaster.
Shen Tinglan hears with his own ears as Yan Qing, gravely wounded, repeatedly murmurs, "A Lan, it wasn't like that."
Another night of passion, and Yan Qing's abdomen is in terrible pain.
For the first time, he begs Shen Tinglan to stop.
Shen Tinglan finally senses something is wrong and reaches, trembling, deep into Yan Qing's dantian...
There is no stolen divine power there at all.
"A Lan, it hurts so much," Yan Qing moans in pain, unaware.
After a long moment of stunned silence, Shen Tinglan gathers him into his arms.
Ten years lost in a sea of hatred, all because of a lie.
**
The mastermind looks just as before. "Shen Tinglan, don't you hate him? I'll help you."
But Shen Tinglan instead turns himself into a blade to carve a way to life for everyone.
Beyond that path lies an even greater dead end.
The mastermind is also a pawn.
Above the nine heavens, who is watching this farce?
Theme: Human will can triumph over fate.
