We're Straight Men! We'll Never Turn Gay!

Straightforward, impoverished sword cultivator top x chuunibyou genius pretty-boy bottom

Wen Zhuojin, the protagonist of some popular novel, cultivates the Heartless Way and is adored by everyone.

Countless people are infatuated with him, but the cold moon has no interest in love and only wants to practice swordsmanship.

The people who couldn't have him joined forces to gravely injure and imprison him, bringing down that lofty, untouchable moon.

Pei Xian'an transmigrates into a book as one of the culprits, the protagonist's junior fellow apprentice. When he arrives, Wen Zhuojin has already been drugged and is in grave danger.

Then Pei Xian'an... switches sides.

He swings a hammer, breaks his master's arm, snaps his senior fellow apprentice's leg, and drives them all away.

That very day, word of his shameless decision to keep Wen Zhuojin all to himself spreads throughout the sect.

His master summons their grandmaster and threatens to make Pei Xian'an hand over Wen Zhuojin, or else have his spiritual roots destroyed and be expelled from the sect.

Pei Xian'an swings his giant hammer again. One blow, and the mountains split apart. Everyone falls silent.

Pei Xian'an: "Heh. None of you can put up a fight."

But when he turns around, Wen Zhuojin asks, "What do you think of me?"

To everyone's horror, they see a spark in Wen Zhuojin's eyes for the first time. It's directed at... the giant hammer in this menace's hands?!

Pei Xian'an is straight.

And ever since transmigrating into the book, he's been tormented by gay men.

Who can relate? He went out to gather some herbs and stumbled across a group sex scene, and one of them even invited him to join!

Pei Xian'an runs away in a panic.

This world is so filthy and terrifying!

He suspects there aren't any straight men here at all.

As a universally adored man, Wen Zhuojin definitely can't be one either.

Everyone knows how these stories go. No matter how heartless the cultivation path seems, eventually it gets broken.

It isn't until he meets Wen Zhuojin that he discovers the guy... really only wants to practice swordsmanship?!

The two fight until the Great Way itself is ground to dust, and the whole sect trembles in fear.

Pei Xian'an is thrilled. Thank goodness, there really are straight men here!

He vows to cultivate hard and take his best friend away from this world full of gay men.

And then, haha, he turns gay too (cheerfully).

Years later, no one dares look at Wen Zhuojin's face. They can only lament behind his back: "I gave my heart to the moon, but the moon shines on a giant hammer."

Wen Zhuojin: "Let me clarify. It's not the giant hammer."

"It's Pei Xian'an."

From the very beginning, it was only ever Pei Xian'an.

Reading guide:

1. From relying on each other to relying on each other as gay men.

2. This is not a harem story. The two protagonists will not flirt with anyone else, whether they take the initiative or not.

3. No control, splitting, reversing, or dream pairings.

There will be side couples for plot reasons =v=
