Qiu Xinzhuo is an investigator who generally can't be bothered to deal with anything related to the occult, and usually gets by on scholarships and writing research papers and reports.
Roc Alexander is a beautiful "good-for-nothing" nobleman with a deep blood feud, secretly studying forbidden arts.
Two failed rituals unexpectedly shattered a point of overlap between parallel worlds, causing the two, alternate-world counterparts to switch bodies from then on.
To make matters worse, their minds became linked. They could not only sense each other's actions, but also feel everything the other felt, one to one. If one died, the other would die too, leaving them completely in the same boat.
One thinks the other is a textbook case of bringing ruin upon himself, having wrecked his own reputation so badly that every investigation has become an uphill battle.
The other thinks their partner is pigheaded, taking a long, winding road just to say something nice and constantly trying to sacrifice themselves.
Can these two complete opposites work together to build a proper magic array and return to their own bodies?
And how will they face the crises that keep coming their way?
A noble "good-for-nothing" with secrets x a mysterious investigator burdened by a painful past
Side by side, they soar through a sea of fire.
(Their relationship may be entirely platonic, so feel free to read it as friendship or familial affection.)
