Bound Spirits [Reborn]

Cool, aloof, secretly passionate top x wicked, carefree, roguish bottom ◆A ridiculous blurb◆ The trainee Soul Envoys at the Central Soul Envoy Academy are all wondering: who lifted the veil from the face of Lord Chenguang, the most renowned figure in the Soul Realm? Every beauty at the academy has been considered, but no one expected it to be the "poor nobody" who only passed the entrance exam at the age of a thousand. In his previous life, Ji Lan had neither talent nor looks. The only thing he had going for him was a ridiculously handsome boyfriend. His boyfriend let him have his way with him, but never once confessed his feelings. It wasn't until the day Ji Lan was forced into exile in the Nine Hells that he learned the truth: his boyfriend had been good to him because Ji Lan had removed that veil. Supposedly, it was his boyfriend's companion veil, and whoever took it off had to marry him. His boyfriend treated him like a bride raised from childhood, but never fell in love with him. How could Ji Lan possibly accept that? He struggled to survive in the Nine Hells for a thousand years while his boyfriend "kept a beauty in each arm" in a nest of beauties. Once Ji Lan had secured the throne, he led his people to storm his boyfriend's lair. His boyfriend was so furious that he killed him. Ten thousand years later, Ji Lan was reborn, and his boyfriend pursued him relentlessly. Was he the sort of "pathetic" bottom who came running whenever called and could be tossed aside whenever convenient? He would make this "scumbag" top learn what it felt like to want someone he couldn't have. Note: It may be more interesting to read the previous life first, then go back and read the first four chapters. 1. Modern alternate universe, bottom-centered, 1v1, happy ending. 2. An outrageously melodramatic story with no logic whatsoever. It's all complete nonsense. 3. The protagonist is the son of Ji Fengyue and Ji Chenxi from After Tearing Off My Junior's Second Button. If you're interested, you can read the other story first. Note: The setting is entirely made up, so please don't overanalyze it. Theme: I love you, and my devotion will never waver!
