This story has undergone major revisions several times, so it differs greatly from what’s on pirate sites. Please don’t read a pirated version and then come here to question the plot. (And please, readers who are used to pirated sites, don’t come to the comments just to make your presence felt. Have a heart, sob sob.)

April 3, 9012. The virus broke out, and zombies surrounded the city.

A month later, on a highway outside H City, Shen Shian strode forward past the abandoned vehicles scattered everywhere, a heavy sword strapped to his back.

“Quit fooling around,” he said, looking back. “Hurry up. It’ll be dark soon.”

“Coming!” A child who looked no more than four or five answered from behind him. He raised his weapon and brought it down, chopping off a zombie’s head. Then he reached inside, rummaged around, and dug out a transparent crystal about the size of a marble.

After wiping it clean on his clothes, he slung the Tang sword, which was half a head taller than he was, over his back and clanked over to Shen Shian.

“An’an, this is for you!”

Shen Shian picked up a pitiful little dog, with filthy, tangled fur and a terrible temper.

The first time he took it into the spirit spring, it turned into a little boy.

The second time he took him into the spirit spring, he turned into a man.

Beside the misty spirit spring, Shen Shian stared at the man swimming on his back, his handsome brows knitted together. “Can you turn back?”

“Why?”

Shen Shian pressed his lips together. “…You eat too much.”

The man wrapped a towel around himself, picked up the Tang sword, and vanished from the space. Not long afterward, he reappeared, plunged the bloodstained sword into the grass, and held out a handful of glittering crystal cores.

“I may eat a lot, but I’m even better at earning my keep!”

*Post-apocalyptic setting. The uke has a cultivation technique and a personal space.

*The seme is a supernatural beast with an incredibly noble bloodline. He reached adulthood at three hundred.

*The early story focuses on the plot; the middle balances plot and romance; the later story balances romance and plot.

*No secondary couples. The seme and uke are the absolute leads of the romance, while other people’s love stories are mostly just mentioned in passing.

*Sweet story, sweet story, sweet story.

READ THE WARNING BEFORE YOU PROCEED!!!!!!!

1. Readers of pirated versions, please don’t show up in the comments. This fragile, poor author will see it as provocation and will probably curse you out. All my love and patience are reserved for readers of the legitimate version.

2. If the story contains logical or factual errors, feel free to point them out so I can fix them or find a way to save face, ahem.

If you don’t know something, aren’t sure whether it’s a plot hole, or haven’t checked, I suggest reading on or looking it up before commenting. If you insist on acting like a know-it-all and being a killjoy, there’s a small chance you’ll receive a bonus package of angry retorts~

3. I don’t accept writing advice. The setting will not be changed, the setting will not be changed, the setting will not be changed! Unless you pay three hundred million to keep me, in which case you can change whatever you like.
