Currently writing the manuscript.
Blurb:
This world has no shortage of heroes, but not every hero chooses to become one to save humanity.
Jian Muqing is a time-ability user. The reason he joined the Supernatural Creatures Bureau is simple.
No matter whether he goes to heaven or hell, walks through a mountain of blades, or endures the gossip of outsiders, there's one thing no one can argue with.
The pay is good.
He'd rather have money than his life, and his life rather than no money. You can't have both. Jian Muqing chooses money without hesitation.
No other reason: he has a younger sister who needs money for medical treatment.
An alcoholic father, a timid mother, a sick younger sister, and a fragile him. Jian Muqing rolls his eyes and says, "Could you read fewer trashy novels? I don't even have parents."
Oh, so it's a deeply moving story of sibling love. Fu Yunhun, who also has no parents and doesn't understand romance, sneers at Jian Muqing for joining the bureau to save his sister.
Give the heroism a rest. Heroes don't live long.
Monsters have been stirring up trouble underground for years. If there were really that many heroes, the bureau wouldn't have so few people. Treat this as a job. You're a wage slave, not a superhero. Get paid for the work you do. Even if you save someone, don't think they owe you anything. They're the boss. If they didn't get into trouble, how would we make money?
A great battle? You mean the monsters underground are going to invade the surface in a year?
Oh, then let them come. Fight when it's time to fight, die when it's time to die. It's our job. Who else can you count on, ordinary humans who don't even know there's a world beneath their feet?
Don't be stupid. Saving humanity is our job.
But if the dawn really comes one day...
Please carve my name on a gravestone in the place where the first ray of sunlight falls.
An unpredictable, gravity-wielding, sinister ghostly top (Fu Yunhun) × a bottom whose brain can't keep up with his mouth, determined to apologize to the whole world, outwardly a little ball of sunshine but actually a severe PTSD sufferer (Jian Muqing)
They're really just two little bitter melons.
Entirely fictional! Trust in science!
I'm still deciding whether to write this one or "Wishing Willow" next. Whichever one reaches the paid-serialization stage first will get updated first. If you're interested, please add them to your collection.
Theme: Believe in hope.
