[Volume One]
Teng Lingyun was a little snake who had cultivated for a hundred years. After his older brother, a tree spirit, fed him a human heart, he learned on his own how to use his good looks to get his hands on more hearts.
He and his tree-spirit big brother had caused plenty of trouble in the town at the foot of the mountain. At last, one day, someone came to deal with him.
But this person seemed to have just come down from the mountain and knew nothing at all. He even thought the evil snake demon was innocent and kind. Teng Lingyun coaxed and deceived him, saying sweet things he had never said before in order to eat the heart of this cultivator.
Pei Zhongyue fell in love with him and took him back up the mountain, even saying he would leave the priesthood and marry him.
Even after being brought back to the Taoist temple, Teng Lingyun remained up to no good. His flat, smooth belly had grown round and full from eating the hearts of the disciples over the past few days. Just as he was imagining how he might eat Pei Zhongyue's heart... Pei Zhongyue's senior brother emerged from seclusion.
The pitiful look Teng Lingyun was best at putting on in front of Pei Zhongyue seemed to have no effect on this man at all.
He was locked up and could no longer use his pretty face to show off and seduce people.
[Volume Two]
September 16, 1978, was the second day of He Weisheng's appointment as a Class A Investigation Officer at the ICAC. His subordinates had taken on a case that required them to conduct routine questioning in Hong Kong's largest luxury residential district.
A month earlier, Fang Jialiang, chairman of the Hang Kin Group, had died at home in a grisly manner, his heart violently torn out. Before this, Fang Jialiang had already been placed on the ICAC's list of major investigation subjects, after his wife personally wrote a letter reporting his corruption and bribery, as well as suspected collusion with government officials for personal gain.
A tycoon who had dominated Hong Kong had died suddenly, leaving behind only his beautiful widow.
When He Weisheng came to investigate, this stunningly beautiful madam was fooling around in bed with her late husband's adopted son.
The very same bed where her husband had died.
In both his lives, Teng Lingyun had been searching for a heart. After all the twists and turns, it had all come to nothing.
P.S.:
1. The entire plot revolves around the protagonist who is the bottom.
2. All the tops are virgins, and all of them love the bottom, openly or secretly.
3. There's not much depth, just a little love and romance, a little hatred and resentment.
The sweet parts are naturally sweet, and the angsty parts are heartbreaking. Read with caution.
4. I don't need writing advice. If you want to drop the story, just leave quietly.
Theme: The green hills remain, and the blue waters flow on.
