I Became the Amnesiac Rival's Master

[The fantasy BL novel "After My Ex-Boyfriend Defects" opens on May 11. Its synopsis appears after this one.]

Synopsis:

Jiang Huaiyue should have regretted it.

On the day of the great battle, he saw his nemesis, who had become a child after losing his memories from a severe injury. His final sword strike never came down.

Not only did he spare his nemesis, he also gave him a new name and took him in as his disciple, telling everyone else he had simply picked up a child.

Now his nemesis had become his cultivation partner, and at the very last moment before they sealed their bond, he remembered everything.

They were still partners, still master and disciple, but somehow everything was different.

Inside the cave dwelling, the light of spiritual energy flashed as Jiang Huaiyue had expected when they sealed their bond. But his disciple, standing before him, coldly gripped his throat and gritted out,

"Just how much more have you been hiding from me, my good... Master!"

Reader's guide:

One-on-one, happy ending

The premise is nemeses becoming master and disciple, then lovers. Probably melodramatic.

Includes flashbacks, so be warned.

Synopsis of the upcoming fantasy BL novel "After My Ex-Boyfriend Defects":

Yu Chuchen and Duan Yan went from military academy classmates to serving together in the military, opening up territory for the Federation and defending it against foreign enemies. They had an impressive record of service.

They became the youngest major generals in the Federation and were hailed as the Federation's Twin Stars.

After years together, they had fully bonded and believed they would never be separated.

Until one day.

Duan Yan defected, and the Twin Stars fell apart.

Yu Chuchen endured the pain of being betrayed by his alpha. He watched as Duan Yan transformed into an imperial prince, his heart full of indignation and confusion.

They had shared years of affection, yet the allure of being a prince was enough for Duan Yan to cast him aside so easily.

Yu Chuchen stepped back from the front lines. He thought he would never see Duan Yan again.

Then the Federation lost the war, and the two countries began negotiations.

The Federation's leadership sent Yu Chuchen, long since withdrawn from the political maelstrom, to Duan Yan's bed.

The gentle, considerate boyfriend he once knew was gone. Standing before Yu Chuchen now was the man who had seized power and become the Empire's true ruler in just three years.

"Reunited with an old lover."

"General, don't you have anything to say?"

Duan Yan stroked the omega's vulnerable gland, his eyes full of dangerous emotion.

Yu Chuchen was as stubborn as ever. Though he forcibly suppressed the joy of seeing Duan Yan again, brought on by his omega body's physiology, he still refused to bow his head.

Theme: Even when on opposing sides, they can still stand together in the end.
