【A proud, kind-hearted bottom who's reserved on the outside and wickedly flirtatious within × a free-spirited, open-minded top who's fiery on the outside and gentle within】
【Poor health｜Two strong leads｜Mutual pining｜Sweet romance with a touch of angst】
Yin Zhao is exceptionally talented and a formidable fighter, but unfortunately, he was born frail and sickly, the most fragile of the fragile.
He takes on the elders to find his missing brother and braves perilous places to save the people marked for sacrifice.
He's fearless and fierce when breaking through a crisis, but the moment he steps outside the mountain gate, his true energy runs out. He stumbles and collapses in a sorry heap, straight into the arms of the man he's secretly loved for years.
In the eyes of the world, Pei, the manor lord, is ruthless, decisive, and hard to tame. But he is exceptionally attentive to Yin Zhao, caring for him as though he were a pampered young noble, arranging every detail of his food, clothing, lodging, and travel with painstaking care.
His favoritism is plain for all to see. People can't help wondering and repeatedly try to find out what their relationship is. Unfortunately, the hardest thing about Pei Yi is his mouth. He just puts on a stern face and says coldly, “Don't talk nonsense!”
On the eve of the martial arts tournament, Yin Zhao breaks through the pretense and reveals his feelings, only to be firmly rejected.
Pei Yi knows he doesn't have long to live. He had planned to protect Yin Zhao quietly to the end as an “older brother,” but fate had other plans. Yin Zhao runs out of strength and passes away before him.
Before the seventh-day memorial has even passed, enemies break in and steal the body.
Pei Yi is strong enough to fight, but he holds back for fear of damaging Yin Zhao's body in the struggle. Unable to take it back by force, he can only watch helplessly, heartbroken.
He gathers Yin Zhao's belongings and builds a cenotaph. On the gravestone, he resolutely carves the words “Tomb of My Beloved.”
Having lost the one he loves, he takes up his blade and goes to the snowy mountains to fight his enemy to the death. Their battle shakes the mountains, and a world-shattering avalanche comes roaring down.
He still has a chance to escape, but he refuses to leave.
The snow swallows everything, leaving the world bleak and white.
He gives a faint smile. “I've come to be with you.”
※This story is not a tragic ending. They reunite later, and it has a happy ending.

Content warnings and reading guide
★ One-on-one romance, both leads have no past partners, happy ending, happy ending!!!
★ The cultivation world is full of fighting and killing, and death is commonplace. The protagonist is kind, but not a doormat.
★ The writing is passable, the logic is good-for-nothing. I write whatever I like, and the main goal is to have fun shipping the couple.
Theme: Don't heed the rain beating through the forest; why not sing and stroll at ease?
