Synopsis

[Completed~ I’m gradually fixing bugs and making edits for compliance, sorry about that.]

[Blurb]

The mage Ciprince discovers that he’s a substitute lover, and that his boyfriend’s true love is someone else. He promptly breaks up with him and plans to spend the rest of his life with books. But then an unexpected turn of events occurs

“Thanks to my scumbag ex, I’m together with your true love now.”

They share the same values, similar hobbies, and identical academic views. They’re practically two versions of the same person. Their apprentices both describe them as “time travelers from the legendary era,” “the bane of electronic devices,” and eccentric mages who don’t fit in with modern society. It’s only scientific that they’d get together.

Note: The author just wants to write a sweet, clingy, lighthearted slice-of-life story. The plot doesn’t move especially quickly. Mwah! The two-way crush is between the protagonist and the ex’s true love. Whoever [beep]s whom depends entirely on their mood that day. The disposable scumbag ex got mercilessly shown up, and is now badly wounded inside.

The apprentice’s story: The First Great Mage in the Galaxy

Reader’s Guide:

1. The magical continent has entered the modern technological era, and even a futuristic, high-tech era, so don’t be surprised to see mages using phones. Though our protagonist can’t even figure out how to use a basic phone…

2. Don’t worry, the disposable ex-boyfriend won’t get any chance to reconcile with him.

3. Thanks to all the classics of Western fantasy for their intellectual support. All the elements used are well-known ones from the genre, but the specific settings and worldbuilding are entirely made up, especially the magic systems and magical technology. Please don’t view them through a scientific lens, because they’re extremely unscientific (seriously).

4. If you’ve read other stories in this series, this one is set in the same world, but nearly six thousand years after A Hymn of Praise. Familiar characters may appear just a tiny bit in some odd little easter eggs.

5. The author loves melodrama and sugar-sweet romance.

I Just Love Reading About Couples Who Take Turns Giving and Receiving

A place to save the mutual-pursuit stories I've read. I like stories centered on the main couple and care about emotional intensity. I sometimes have sharp opinions. I haven't subscribed to every chapter, so read with caution.

My Personal Reviews

Under serious review. For reference, I'm a fanfic girl, a lover of feel-good stories, a champion of twisted emotions, and a supporter of messy relationships. How many people who like cuckold stories have I rated top marks?

Top-Focused

I'm doomed. I've caught the main-character-as-top bug. I made this list to keep track of main-character-as-top stories I personally think are pretty good. Sorry if they aren't to your taste.

No need to say more about the authority on vers couples. It's everyone's responsibility not to force gay couples into stereotypical straight relationship roles.

Completed Stories with Fewer Than 50,000 Favorites

Both BL and BG, I’ll read anything, really. For romance, I lean toward historical Chinese settings, palace and household intrigue, imperial examinations, and that sort of thing, but they’re not always from the female lead’s perspective. Danmei is even more varied.

Old-School Picks for Readers in Their 30s (Mostly BL)

In my thirties, and my personal tastes come first. I like older styles and strong characters who can hold their own. Not a fan of showbiz, esports, school settings, childhood arcs, or everyone-favors-the-protagonist dynamics.
