The Captain's White Moonlight Can't Possibly Be Me

This story has plenty of original worldbuilding. You don't need to know anything about the Sentinel and Guide setting to enjoy it.

Ji Heng had always thought his old classmate was a very mysterious person.

He was proud, rebellious, and never followed the rules. He and Ji Heng had agreed to conquer the world together, then he vanished without a trace on the night before their university graduation.

Four years later, they met again. The poor Sentinel from back then had become a man who ruled the star system's trade routes, with over a hundred merchant ships, countless treasures, and a great many loyal subordinates.

Newly promoted First Mate Ji Heng looked up at the handsome man standing on the golden deck like a king and said indignantly, "We agreed to conquer the world together, sharing one pair of pants, and now you're telling me you're a rich second-generation heir?!"

Gavin Frederick Naldwin gazed gently at the Guide, who was puffed up like a pufferfish with anger. "These aren't just merchant ships. They're the lifeblood of the empire."

Ji Heng: 0.0

"I'm the empire's crown prince, first in line to the throne. These treasures are for the Guide I'll have in the future." Gavin's gaze grew increasingly feverish as he looked at Ji Heng. "And now he's standing right in front of me..."

Ji Heng raised a hand to interrupt him. "So you have a secret crush on someone else."

Gavin: "...Yes. Aren't you curious who it is?"

Ji Heng was heartbroken. "Curious my foot! Didn't we agree to stay single for the rest of our lives? You deceived me for so long. I'm done. I quit!!"

Overbearing, loyal puppy Sentinel (crossed out) × slightly scatterbrained Guide. A sweet little romance.
