The More Lovers, the More Impressive

As the posthumous child of a legendary Guide, Jiang Yan is a useless nobody whose mental strength barely reaches Grade C.

His fiance falls for someone else, and Jiang Yan is sold off for human experimentation.

To stay alive, Jiang Yan plays along with the master of a star-destruction testing ground. After the man remakes him into a perfect creation capable of repairing any Sentinel's mental landscape, Jiang Yan gets hold of compromising evidence and escapes in the chaos.

He spends four years under the White Tower's supervision and testing, successfully hiding the secret of his body. After graduating, he becomes an ordinary psychiatrist specializing in mental rehabilitation.

But every Sentinel treated by Jiang Yan falls hopelessly in love with him. His ex, a former playboy, wants to rekindle their relationship; his childhood friend betrays his fiance and wants to start a forbidden romance with him; his younger brother shows up at his door in the middle of the night and says, "Sister-in-law, open up. It's your brother-in-law"; even a Sentinel and Guide couple fresh from the battlefield invite him to join them and make it a three-person relationship.

The White Tower's suspicious gaze falls on Jiang Yan once more.

Jiang Yan: I need to find a way out. If I don't leave now, I'll be locked in solitary confinement again!

When Jiang Yan wakes up again, a finger-thick chain is fastened around his ankle.

The silver light that has lingered around him for years has taken physical form.

He grips Jiang Yan's chained ankle and slowly strokes it. "Go on, run. Aren't you good at that?"

Jiang Yan: So it was you all along. What a shame, I got caught again.

* A Sentinel-Guide story, with some original worldbuilding explained in the novel.

* He thinks he's been with lots of different people, but they're all different bodies inhabited by the same soul.

* The story involves the transfer of a soul between different bodies using technology. To avoid spoiling the reading experience, the top's name is kept hidden for now, but it's always him.

* The bottom has had intimate contact with people who aren't the official top, both in the past and in the present.

* A melodramatic story that indulges in the author's kinks.

Theme: Never give up. Good luck is waiting for you in the next moment.
