A Debt Written in Ink

In their previous life, Xiao Lin and Yan Yu loved each other with such passion that they laughed off the disapproval of the whole world, until they shouldered everything together and leaped from the city wall.

In this life, Xiao Lin has finally come to his senses. Love is like poisoned wine: it harms you, so it's better not to love at all. He plans to follow the proper path, pass the civil service exams, and settle down as a teacher. That will be enough for this life.

But who could have guessed he'd meet him again...

No rebirth, no transmigration, just a story of past and present lives.

Warnings:

1. The previous life really is tragic, but the more painful the past life, the sweeter and more swoon-worthy this life will be.

2. The story alternates between the past and present. If it poisons you... yes, it really is poison!

Readers who can't handle angst, please take note!

The past-life story is sweet for the first two-thirds, then angsty for the final third. You can skip that last third if you'd like.

The present-life story is entirely sweet! The present-life protagonist is the author's own beloved son, and he is not allowed to suffer! Mom-author won't allow it!!!

Sweet story! Sweet story! Sweet story! That's how important it is!

Previous life: carefree bottom x aloof top, BE

Present life: gentle bottom x domineering top, 1v1, HE

Coming soon: Salty Egg, Wolfish Senior x Husky Junior: That Guy Next Door

!! Go, China!!

Theme: More powerful than love at first sight or love that grows over time is a love destined by fate.
