An Unconventional Savior

An age gap of billions of years: a quiet, no-nonsense top who can kill with a single sentence × a talkative, easygoing bottom who gets drunk after one cup

East of Lin lies Jieshi; from there, I gaze upon the sea.

Yang Jie, an invisible nobody studying mining, is tricked by the old immortal Xu Cang into joining a small team tasked with saving the world, becoming the perfect candidate to be its savior.

Gradually, Yang Jie senses that he shares a deep, intricate connection with an ancient mountain god, and even finds himself caught up in a love affair between mountains and seas that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years.

The road to saving the world is rough: monsters are hard to defeat, beautiful people are hard to woo, and he can never seem to flirt successfully with the old immortal he likes.

Luckily, his teammates are invincible, and the savior fights without bothering to play fair.

A fire-breathing bird? Blow it up!

A monkey who loves to dream? Tie it up!

A proud old immortal? Take him to bed!

Modernist black-and-white Messengers of Death, a cyberpunk Stone Monkey Great Sage, Meng Po and Judge who run a dance club... Amid a series of strange tales, this is a refreshingly unconventional love story between an ancient sea god who was quite the ladies' man and a mountain god reborn as a good man.

This story begins with a trip up the mountain to hunt a tiger.

Xu Cang, Lord of the Cang Sea, is very fixated on becoming a father: Everything originated in the sea, so you can call me 'Dad.'

Yang Jie: If you're so keen on being a dad, why did you leave me at an orphanage back then?

Xu Cang: Because I can't write a raising-you-up story here. I can make an effort in other ways.

Yang Jie: Give it up. No matter how hard you try, you still can't be my dad!

Coming soon: Dead Eight Years Later

Cheng Shuibei has a lover eight years older than him. They were tied together by a sense of duty, with neither love nor affection between them, just the daily grind.

Cheng Shuibei's life has been one misfortune after another: his father died, his mother remarried, his older brother died young, and even his landlord called him a curse.

At twenty-six, the curse decides to die.

At thirty-four, Zhang Cian lives an unchanging life. His toothbrush must go in the second slot of the bathroom rack, his socks must be maroon, and there must be no more than three positions for getting down to business.

Before he dies, twenty-six-year-old Cheng Shuibei knocks over the toothbrush, takes off his socks, bites Zhang Cian, then leaps from the eighth floor with a thud.

He doesn't die. He is reborn.

When he opens his eyes, he sees eighteen-year-old Zhang Cian.

Eighteen-year-old Zhang Cian has a faint blush and an open shirt, and his socks aren't maroon yet.

Cheng Shuibei doesn't plan to let history repeat itself. He pulls on his pants and tries to run. "You don't have to take responsibility!"

But Zhang Cian pins him back beneath him and bites him.

A reckless young man in an eighteen-year-old's body × an ascetic old man

A realistic rebirth story: erase the age gap and retrace the path of youth. (Before rebirth, the bottom is 26 and the top is 34; after rebirth, both are 18.)

Theme: Keep striving, and never let your passion fade.
