Stars Before Dawn in the Eternal Night

Fu Zexuan is an amateur awakener who doesn't care to talk to anyone, the sort who takes five jobs in three years.

He has a secret that would shake the world if revealed.

But he's eager to make it public, and has spent five years plotting how to do it.

His steps are as follows:

First, scheme against a certain major general.

Second, scheme against a certain major general.

Third, scheme against a certain major general.

Once his plan is complete, Fu Zexuan retires from the scene in triumph.

He never expected that before he could slip away, the furious major general would catch him.

Fu Zexuan says the general can do whatever he wants to him. Instead, the major general brings all his belongings and sets them down before him:

"From now on, I'm your way out."

Yu Hengjun is the youngest major general in Country Z, the sort who can't make time for anyone and rises six ranks in eight years.

No one knows he had a childhood friend.

This person led him into a brand-new world, then vanished in a flash.

No one knows he also has a pair of dream hands.

Those hands led him through the brink of collapse, then vanished before he knew it.

Five years later, Major General Yu is deceived in both body and heart.

What's even more infuriating is that this con artist didn't just steal his heart...

Con artist: I have another name...

Major General: Aren't you my childhood friend who went missing?

Con artist: Have some candy.

Major General: Isn't this the candy made by my dream hands?

Mystery solved.

Major General: Could anyone be more miserable than me?

*

In the end, the major general catches this little con artist.

Fu Zexuan still tries to wriggle out of it: Who are you?

The major general says calmly: You schemed so much. Did you ever count your own heart into the equation?

Do you know?

The moment you chose me, I became the sole recipient of your special favor.

Steady and reserved (Yu Hengjun) ?? Cool, strong, and complicated (Fu Zexuan)
