Restless Heart [Nonhuman Love Interest]

[Complete] While volunteering at a nursing home, college freshman Frank meets a reclusive old man.

To fulfill the old man's final wish, he risks everything to approach a man as elusive as a ghost.

Frank thinks he's fallen in love with an ordinary mental patient who's handsome and tall, just a little off in the head.

Little does he know that inside his lover's perfectly sculpted body, quiet and gentle in his eyes, are three hearts, nine brains, and twenty-four eyes.

Test Subject 2306's ability is to create illusions.

Only later does Frank learn that time itself is an illusion.

And his terrifying, nonhuman lover can make illusions real.

Extreme, twisted, captivating, deeply in love.

"Cheap love is everywhere. The one I want has to be you."

Nine cycles of alchemy, and you become the Supreme Immortal.

He had once been only one step away from that goal.

Li Mingshu was a prodigy, yet until the day he died, people mocked him and called him a foolish show-off.

Even his kindest senior brother, Chang He, was only pitying him.

"Mingshu, don't misunderstand. I don't feel that way about you."

"Of course I'm on your side, but how can a stubborn stone be carved into fine jade? No matter how hard you try, it'll still only be a slightly prettier stone."

Chang He reached out with long fingers and wiped away the tears beneath his eyes, his voice full of pity.

"The Heavenly Dao is like the moon, beyond the reach of mortals."

"But don't worry. Even if you never amount to anything, your senior brother will protect you."

After he died, the cultivation manual he had left behind, once scorned, became a peerless classic that everyone fought to read. Everyone lamented his loss.

No, he didn't regret it at all.

Li Mingshu looked coldly at the golden road to immortality stretching at his feet, then turned and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

A hundred years later, he is called Guang Mofeng. By chance, he enters the immortal sect again, but only to slack off, sleep, and get by.

At the sect's grand assembly, he is forced to demonstrate the techniques from his previous life in front of everyone. The whole crowd erupts.

Chang He's familiar, pitch-black eyes gaze at him across the sea of people.

That night, rain falls through the mist. Chang He, drunk, stops Guang Mofeng beneath the covered walkway, probes him with questions, and invites him to join his sect.

Before Guang Mofeng can make sense of what he's saying, someone behind him puts an arm around his shoulders.

It's his current senior brother, Su Zhi.

He has always been arrogant and flirtatious, and usually the person Guang Mofeng gets along with least. But now he curls around him like a boneless wisteria vine, hooks a strand of his hair with his index finger, and smiles roguishly.

"Immortal, you may not know this, but A Feng and I are deeply in love. We're used to going everywhere together."

"Wherever he goes, I go. Whether to heaven or the depths of the earth, I only wish to be with him, in life and death."

"Please, Immortal, grant us your blessing."

At the time, Guang Mofeng thought he was talking nonsense to get him out of trouble.

He never imagined that every word was written in blood and spoken from the heart.

*

Su Zhi was once a demonic spy, a treacherous lapdog who sowed discord in the immortal sects, and the most wicked demonic cultivator in the world.

He was also the world's greatest fool, willing to abandon his cultivation and his life to help one person become the Supreme Immortal.
