Jiang Ye is timid and easy to fool. He's so thin he looks like skin and bones, always shrinking away from people and never daring to hold his head up.
At school, he's a walking ATM for the older bullies.
Out in society, he's a punching bag for street thugs.
At home, he's a prop for his elders' emotional blackmail.
His timid, insecure, weak, helpless manner only encourages people's malice and brings him more bullying.
Passersby who see him refusing to fight back are always happy to sneak in a kick of their own.
They have no idea.
The invisible karmic debts they're accumulating are multiplying by the day. Soon, they'll pay for what they've done.
And so, year after year,
Jiang Ye becomes the Netherworld's most outstanding performance examiner. In modern terms, it's called cutthroat competition.
He's happy to let people unleash their malice on him as much as they like.
That way, he can send them to hell.
"Ding-dong~"
"You have a new 'Dead Yet?' order. Please hand it over to Black and White Impermanence promptly~"
See? There's another one for the books.
Wen Cheng grew up with nonhuman creatures and has always led a rough life. His lean, powerful muscles were built through fighting, and his hands are often stained with blood.
Perhaps he's picked up too much dirty energy. His aura is different from an ordinary person's, and everyone who sees him feels a chill down their spine. Everyone knows he's committed every kind of evil.
Wen Cheng lives near Jiang Ye's family.
Several times, Wen Cheng has seen Jiang Ye looking weak, miserable, humble, and trembling in front of other people.
What's strange is that Jiang Ye is afraid of everyone except him. Whenever they meet alone, it's as if Jiang Ye becomes a different person. He always walks past Wen Cheng with a cold expression, never even giving him a proper glance.
Wen Cheng can't make sense of it.
One day, he lays the thick club in his hand across Jiang Ye's path and asks him outright, "Why are you ignoring me?"
Jiang Ye walks straight around him, his tone utterly cool. "Sorry, you're too kind. I don't associate with people like you."
Wen Cheng: ?
Here's the core premise for now. It won't change, though the blurb needs revision.
I haven't decided whether the setting is modern, future, or interstellar, or whether Jiang Ye is the gong or the shou. It might be quick transmigration or a regular story... In short, everything is still up in the air. Only the general premise is set. _(:з"∠)_
Theme: Live earnestly, and pursue passionate, wholehearted love
