A scheming, flirtatious pursuer who just won’t leave x a cool, pure-hearted recipient who doesn’t even realize he’s baiting him
Chen Mu was a diligent, hard-working grunt in the Heavenly Realm. After he witnessed something he shouldn’t have, he was dealt with!?
After being reborn, Chen Mu has only one thing on his mind: revenge. His heart and eyes are set on merit, and he’s done being a lazy slacker. A grunt should know his place! A grunt should be number one! Anyone who messes with him is done for.
Chen Mu: Merit, here I come.
But just as Chen Mu is determined to claw his way out of his lazy life, he keeps getting pestered by a mortal, his close friend from his previous life, who looks at him pitifully and asks, “You don’t want me anymore?”
!! What the heck? Is that what that line means?
The mortal: “Can I come with you? Don’t leave me behind.”
And so they hold hands, hug, and then... kiss.
Wait, can close friends do this?
The mortal’s eyes well up again. “That’s how friends are with each other. You don’t want me anymore, do you?”
Chen Mu: “Mortals are such a hassle. Come here and kiss me. No crying.”
