Flowers for You

Devoted but awkward at romance and narcissistic seme x sickly, gentle beauty uke

Blurb One: In a museum, amid the clicks of cameras and the watchful eyes of students on a school trip, the lid of a coffin wound with rose branches suddenly flew open.

As the clicking stopped, a half-naked young man with red hair sat up inside the coffin.

Beautiful, handsome, dashing Xiao Jinhuan had finally come back to life after 47 years of fighting against death!

Why had he come back to life? Because he still hadn't confessed to his wife, as he alone thought of him.

"I like you so much, Cang Lan." This was practically Xiao Jinhuan's catchphrase, but it wasn't a confession, at least not in the eyes of someone who had been resurrected countless times.

"I like you too." Cang Lan answered earnestly each time. To him, this was a confession, at least according to the guidebook on interacting with ordinary species that he had studied, and his own thinking after living for three or four hundred years.

Blurb Two: Xiao Jinhuan thought the heavens were fair: although he died again and again, he was healthy, while Cang Lan lived forever but suffered from an illness that kept him from experiencing the world firsthand.

Cang Lan, however, thought the heavens were unfair: the young man had a vibrant life, yet suffered from incurable narcolepsy, so Cang Lan chose to transfer the illness to himself.

They were both beings created by the Maker, their souls made of flowers, and were meant to share eternity. Until the world was swallowed up and the "Paradise" was built, requiring their souls to be burned as fuel so humanity could enjoy a life of ease.

I give you flowers, and you destroy my Paradise.
