Wanting to Buy Osmanthus Blossoms and Share Wine on the Road

Xie Xuan, the chancellor of Yu, is cool and dignified, a gentleman renowned throughout the country. Chu Ji, the regent of Yu, is flirtatious and frivolous, a scoundrel everyone tries to avoid. Little do people know that even the most proper gentleman was once reckless in his youth, and even the most dissolute rogue was once innocent and pure. So six years ago, the innocent and pure Chu Ji slept with the reckless young Xie Xuan. It was truly a sad story. And so, six years later, the two sad souls set out on a path of fighting each other to the death, as long as neither could kill the other outright. Cool, dignified, proud, and devoted bottom x over-the-top top who brought about his own ruin A few things to know before reading: 1. I think... it shouldn't be too angsty? Happy ending planned. 2. There's a girls' love storyline. Don't read if that's not your thing. 3. Lots of flashbacks. 4. A broken relationship reunited, with lingering ties. 5. The manuscript is actually complete. It's not long, and I'll finish updating it soon. 6. Feel free to give it a try. This foolish author wrote it for practice (and to earn bookmarks). The pacing is fast, so don't yell at me after you finish. Take a look at my other ongoing story, Divine Relics [Infinite], available through my author page~ On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, when the gates of hell swing wide open, Lin Shengxue finds a black invitation at a grave. "Dear player, welcome to the 'Divine Relics' game. Please be sure to follow the rules of God's game, " ...Lin Shengxue has no intention of following God's rules, so he tears up the invitation on the spot. Then he's thrown into a massive live-action horror game. -- It's said that those who clear the final stage will be guided by "God" to an ideal world where every wish can be fulfilled. Three years after "Divine Relics" began operating, Lu Jianqing, the number-one player on the leaderboard, rejects "God's" invitation and vanishes from the game. The players know full well that anyone who offends "God" is probably dead. -- In a beginner game, Lin Shengxue runs into Lu Jianqing, who was rumored to be dead. Lu Jianqing, now the Ghost King, wears a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses. Looking impeccably dressed, he stands at the lectern and teaches a roomful of ghost students: "The world is material... So fundamentally, none of us exist." A girl in the front row is so shocked by this brilliant theory that her head falls off. Lin Shengxue coldly kicks the head away from his feet. ...Right, so you're not a ghost, then. This guy must be out of his mind. -- Later, he blows up the beginner game and takes the Ghost King who teaches materialism out with him. Later still, he regrets it. This freak... isn't just out of his mind, he wants to flirt with him, too? A little scene A woman in red is bound to a table, baring her fangs at the players. Lu Jianqing [starts rambling]: Your makeup is no good, the clothes are poor quality, and those teeth... The woman [quietly shuts her mouth]: Sniffle. Lin Shengxue kicks the woman over and looks at Lu Jianqing coldly. "Say one more word and I'll kick you, too." Lu Jianqing [quietly shuts his mouth]: Sniffle. A chatterbox who can't tease his sweetheart until they explode at any time or place isn't a good chatterbox. "There were no divine relics in this world to begin with. But once enough people were deceived, they became real.", A certain Mr. Lu, who prefers to remain anonymous A chatterbox top who can still play this lousy game x a cool bottom who's sick of it all and just wants to destroy everything Theme: Only by treating each other with sincerity can we find happiness.
