Huh? Am I Marrying a Disfigured Sentinel?

[Guide seme x Sentinel uke]

Guan Jue transmigrates.

Other people keep up with the trends and transmigrate as emperors, or at least as rulers of the stars. He ends up on a godforsaken continent, with no one in sight.

Only one kindhearted guy gives him a lift into the city.

The guy is cold, but genuinely kind, and has a scar on his face. So cool!

Just as Guan Jue figures out that he's transmigrated to a Sentinel-Guide world, an email lands right in front of him, telling him to hurry up and meet the Sentinel he's engaged to.

At the cafe, Guan Jue looks at the kindhearted guy he parted ways with just a few days earlier, and three question marks slowly appear over his head.

Huh? Him? He's marrying a man?

The strongest Sentinel at the watchtower, a perennial bachelor whom everyone privately jokes will never be accepted by a Guide, has finally received some news. Apparently, the White Tower has matched him with someone whose compatibility exceeds 90%.

Everyone knows that Li Ce is cold and blunt, with a terrifying scar on his face and a rare, aggressive mental domain that requires deep contact to stabilize.

That Guide is in for a rough time. They might even be worn to death.

Everyone whispers, waiting for a spectacle.

Li Ce doesn't care about the mockery. He's simply honoring their appointment. But on the day they meet, he still puts on his most presentable outfit, hoping to make a good impression on the Guide.

His mental domain is on the verge of collapse. If he doesn't receive guidance soon, he'll be close to death.

At the cafe, remembering the book he'd just read, 99 Little Tricks for Sentinel Dating, Li Ce forces himself to smile and lays out every benefit he can offer a Guide.

"If you're satisfied with me, I hope we can start the guidance today."

"Guidance?" Guan Jue looks utterly confused and blurts out in a panic, "I can't do that! Did you get the wrong person? Is there something wrong with the matching system? I don't know how!"

The smile freezes on Li Ce's lips, and the scar on his face twists into a strange shape.

This Guide doesn't want to treat him. This forced marriage is unfair to both of them.

"I understand. I'll apply to the higher-ups to dissolve the bond right away." The Sentinel gets up and leaves, his back cold and resolute.

Guan Jue is baffled. What does he understand?

He transmigrated here in the flesh! He doesn't have a Guide's mental energy!

Later, watching the Sentinel repeatedly risk his life and endure his injuries alone, Guan Jue can't help feeling sorry for him.

He sneaks over to find him, the tips of his ears turning red. "I have another idea. Want to give it a try?"

While the Sentinel looks on in confusion, Guan Jue slips him a room key card.

The next day, the physically powerful Sentinel can't get up.

Guan Jue looks bashful. So it really worked.

Countless people at the Sentinel Tower wait to see Li Ce make a fool of himself. But as they wait, all they see is the terrifying scar on his face slowly disappear, revealing his handsome features. He buys a bouquet every day, though nobody knows who it's for.

Until one day, someone sees the White Tower's strongest Guide finishing work and accepting flowers from the Sentinel. The two walk home hand in hand.

[The harder he goes, the stronger his wife gets.]
