I Have an Old Friend in Chang'an

Ye Zhuoyan first met Liang Yuanzhou at a fighting ring outside Chang'an. With a horizontal saber in hand, Liang ended Ye's nine-match winning streak and then walked away.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Ye went after him to settle the score. He never expected to become Liang's teammate, much less to win the Famous Martial Arts Tournament together.

Back then, Ye Zhuoyan thought Liang Yuanzhou was boring, while Liang thought Ye Zhuoyan was a chatterbox.

Their flimsy friendship couldn't withstand a test. Three days after taking first place, their friendship had completely shipwrecked.

Later, Liang Yuanzhou became the court official Ye Zhuoyan had once hated most.

Ye Zhuoyan, too, became the spoiled playboy Liang Yuanzhou had once hated most.

And yet, they met again in Chang'an.

Ye Zhuoyan ordered a whole table of beauties to keep him company, determined to see how long Liang Yuanzhou could keep that sour look on his face.

Liang didn't disappoint him. But the anger, pain, restraint, and delight on his face weren't for the beauties. They were all for Ye.

Liang Yuanzhou dragged him out of the pleasure quarters and into an empty alley.

That same horizontal saber was pointed right at his face.

"Who brought you to a place like this?"

"Why can't a man come to a place like this?"

"Men can. You can't."

"Are you saying I'm not a man?"

"I'm asking who brought you here!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Get rid of them before they cause any more trouble."

He was the one Liang kept in his heart. No one else was going to lead him astray.

Devoted, powerful top x goofy, spoiled bottom

The genius cultivator Shen Jinghan was tricked by a rotten author into a story that had been abandoned before its ending. He became the sole Immortal Venerable of a tiny sect, so rundown that even its mountain gate had been split in two by heavenly lightning.

He found a half-dead young cultivator among the two halves of the gate, and from then on spent his days saving people and waiting for someone to come knocking.

The rotten author told him that in the original story, he was a great villain. One day, Ji Tingyun of Lingyun Mountain would lead a group of righteous cultivators to attack him. If he killed Ji Tingyun, he would be able to leave the book.

At last, the day came when the so-called righteous cultivators showed up.

Facing the crowd, Shen Jinghan calmly asked, "Is Ji Tingyun of Lingyun Mountain here?"

Ji Tingyun was there, but the plot seemed a little off. He walked out from the dilapidated mountain gate behind Shen Jinghan.

"The Immortal Venerable knows my name!" Ji Tingyun exclaimed, rushing out in excitement. But when he saw the crowd outside, his expression instantly turned cold.

"What is it this time? Which fool has been picking on my dear Xiaohan?"

The righteous cultivators below erupted:

Who would dare bully Shen Jinghan, the man even heavenly tribulation couldn't kill? He just had a delicate, deceiving face!

Wait, why is the young lord of Lingyun Mountain defending this demonic villain?

To the cultivators, Shen Jinghan was astonishingly gifted. His talismans killed without a trace, and he had faced heavenly tribulation alone without a scratch. He was the very image of a villain who could slaughter his way through the world.

To Ji Tingyun, Shen Jinghan was slender and frail, aloof and lonely, so delicate he might break at a touch. He was so beautiful that who knew how many people coveted him? It was far too dangerous to let him go out alone!

Shen Jinghan: Can't I just quietly be a villain...?

Core theme: Through life's ups and downs, keep your heart turned toward the light.
