Shang Keyu is broke. He subsists on rice porridge and pickles, and his home is a dilapidated shack on the verge of collapse.
The only thing of value he owns is his betrothal. His intended is a peerless genius among the younger generation of an immortal sect, born into a prestigious clan.
They're far too mismatched in status.
Shang Keyu makes the first move: "Want to break off the engagement? Five million taels, and I'll be gone by tonight."
His betrothed frowns.
Shang Keyu looks sincere. "It's a little expensive, but you're worth the price."
Sui Yuyun, who has run away from home and is penniless, thinks for a moment. "Two and a half million. I'll leave right now."
Shang Keyu frowns.
Sui Yuyun looks even more sincere. "It's a little expensive, but you're worth the price."

Old friends, a promise beneath mountains and moonlight.

Coming Soon
1. Cold Dew Days
When Xxx was a young master, he truly devoted himself to being a young master: riding horses through the streets, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, the most dissolute of the lot.
He even once drunkenly declared that he would marry the Immortal Venerable from Qingyi Sect, the one whose beauty was like a painting.
Then it was discovered that he was a fake young master.
He lost his place at the First Academy, the people at the estate turned cold toward him, and Xxx slunk back to the countryside, inheriting the no-name academy slot that belonged to the real young master.
Unexpectedly, his talent was so poor that he was kicked down to an even more obscure branch academy.
At this no-name branch academy,
the eldest senior brother spends every day meditating like an old monk, the second senior brother carouses day and night, the third senior brother is always absorbed in studying storybooks, and the fourth senior brother is consumed by love and impossible to pin down.
At least their master is beautiful.
On the first day, his master teaches him breathing exercises.
On the first month, his master teaches him breathing exercises.
On the first year...
Three years later, Xxx is still practicing his breathing.
It's said that the real young master has already topped the academy rankings and been taken as a personal disciple by the leader of Qingyi Sect, the foremost of all the immortal sects.
One day, they meet in a secret realm, competing for a treasure and becoming enemies.
Everyone calls their family for help.
The real young master's backing is the leader of Qingyi Sect.
Xxx: My master is too frail to take care of himself. Fine, I'll face them alone!
He is about to draw his sword when he sees his master arrive, moving gracefully.
Then he sees the leader of Qingyi Sect's expression change as he respectfully says, "Granduncle."
Then he sees someone kneel and call out reverently, "Lord XX!"
Xxx: ?
That title sounds familiar.
Wait, isn't that the Immortal Venerable XX I drunkenly teased back when I was a young master?!
Back away! Back away! Back away!
2. Twilight Is Unavoidable
The fight for the throne is truly insane.
Some have the protection of gods, some are extraordinary in their own right, and others hide in the shadows, wielding history and time as their weapons.
As the thirteenth prince of the Tayler Empire and sixteenth in line for the throne, Ye Jia can only take an unconventional path.
"So that's why you signed a contract with the traitor of heaven, one of the Twenty-Four Calamities, the Sixteenth Pillar Demon King, the Master of the Hand of Hell, the End of Days foretold in the prophecy of dawn?"
Ye Jia slurps the hometown snail noodles he painstakingly recreated. "Who signed a contract with him? I just got married!"
Theme: If there is no light in the sky, then I will be the spark.
