[Too clever, and doomed to suffer x Too deep in love, and doomed to die young]
[Tsundere, sickly young master shou x Devoted, obsessive childhood-friend villain gong]
Pei Jin, son of Lanxi City's richest man, had been frail and sickly since birth.
One day, he found a book that said he wouldn't live to see eighteen.
Pei Jin looked at everyone bustling around to prepare for his seventeenth birthday: "..."
Well, damn!
Lu Wang was reborn back to a time before Pei Jin had died. Seeing him alive and full of vitality, Lu Wang secretly vowed to protect him and help him live to a hundred.
To stay alive, Pei Jin decided to follow the protagonist's group and cultivate immortality.
He'd be bringing his own funds, too.
When everyone in the sect saw the dowry he brought... no, the tuition he brought, they all grinned from ear to ear.
Pei Jin worked hard at cultivation, but still found time to date Lu Wang.
Lu Wang had a mutated lightning spirit root. Pei Jin suddenly had an idea: lightning was so romantic!
So they kissed amid the thunder and lightning.
It was... romantic?
Bonus scene:
Whenever Pei Jin was lost in thought, he'd open his mouth if someone held anything up to it.
So this time, Lu Wang fed him a slice of lemon.
Sure enough, he got slapped.
Pei Jin: Getting angry, preparing to get even angrier.
Lu Wang: Having fun, preparing to tease him again.
Reading guide:
1. A lighthearted, silly story with a bit of an ensemble cast. Both are pure and devoted, and each other's first love. Happy ending.
2. The characters aren't perfect. Both leads have their little flaws.
3. Readers who are strongly attached to either lead should read with caution. The plot calls for a little angst for both the gong and shou.
4. There are side pairings: male x male and female x female ghost. They won't get much page time, but read with caution if this bothers you.
5. Some characters express views based on their characterization. These do not represent the author's personal views.
Theme: Helping each other grow
