The year Le Qinglan turned eighteen, he unexpectedly obtained a spiritual artifact. From it, he learned that his master had raised him as a human furnace, destined to be sent out to entertain guests and drained until he was nothing but skin and bones.
The spiritual artifact didn't just tell him about his origins and his tragic death. It also revealed that this world was actually an adults-only romance novel called The Immortal Sect's Erotic History.
The Immortal Artifact Great One introduced everyone to him: this is the male lead gong, this is the male lead shou, these are gongs two through five, and these are villains one through five.
You're a despised cannon-fodder human furnace.
This was the first time Le Qinglan had encountered such an immortal opportunity. Nervously, he followed the Immortal Artifact Great One's advice and took notes.
He finished his notes, tried to untangle the complicated relationships between all these men, and searched for a way to survive. Then he began his escape and his struggle to stay alive.
Many years later, Le Qinglan asked the Immortal Artifact Great One, "How come none of the plot points you told me about were right?"
He asked suspiciously, "Did you just make all of that up?"
The Immortal Artifact Great One ran for a while, then froze up. When faced with a difficult question, he stopped answering again.
Fortunately, everything went wrong along the way, but the outcome was right.
Le Qinglan had little interest in those complicated relationships between men. Once he escaped, the whole world was open to him. With a world this vast, where could he not go, and what could he not do?
He just couldn't understand why those people had come after him.
They couldn't understand it either. They hadn't done anything wrong, so why did Qinglan avoid them like the plague?
A gentle, handsome, heaven-blessed gong × a gloomy beauty with a human-furnace constitution who topples over at the slightest push
1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced.
2. Lots and lots of people are interested in the shou. As long as anyone who might be a gong is faithful in body and heart, expect plenty of win-back arcs and forced-love scenes.
Theme: A thousand years since the lotus left its homeland, it still smells of blood after the rain, with iron in its scent
