The Captain Is a Sickly Beauty

[My new novel, The Hated Sickly Beauty Is Reborn and Becomes Everyone's Darling, is being updated daily!]

[Devoted police detective gong x frail forensic doctor shou]

Pei Qingyu was a forensic doctor and the leader of the special cases unit. But after being injured in a case six months ago, he developed heart disease.

Everyone told Pei Qingyu that his frail body made him unfit to lead the special cases unit. Everyone advised him to step back and work behind the scenes.

Everyone except Xun Yin, his deputy and the only one who saw how unwilling he was to give up.

And so...

Case One: The gun that no one fired, the bullet that vanished.

Pei Qingyu: If its freezing point is... mm...

Xun Yin: Captain, it's cold at night. Put on a scarf.

Case Two: A crazed lover, sisters who save each other.

Pei Qingyu: Cough, cough. Its evaporation temperature is about...

Xun Yin: Captain, it's too pungent. Let me do it.

Case Three: A lost tycoon, a mad dog who won't give up.

Pei Qingyu: A-Xun, come with me here...

This time, Xun Yin smiled faintly and let go of the hand supporting Pei Qingyu's waist. Captain, if you can walk to the door by yourself right now, I'll go with you.

The loyal dog had turned into a wolf cub at some point, and took advantage of his illness to drag him straight into bed.

Xun Yin was Pei Qingyu's most steadfast supporter and most devout believer.

[Outwardly cool-headed, inwardly protective, devoted gong x outwardly eager to die but actually near death, carefree sickly beauty shou]

Yun Qi, the senior disciple of Tian Nan Mountain, was a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius across the Three Realms and Six Paths. Yet he was always frivolous and unruly, as dissolute as a young aristocrat, and despised by the elders' council.

An elder once declared that Yun Qi would inevitably fall into the demonic path and be rejected by the Six Paths.

"Falling into the demonic path hurts too much." Yun Qi lay across his junior disciple Xie Jingbo's lap and yawned lazily. "Maybe in my next life."

"There is no next life for our sect, Senior Brother," Xie Jingbo said calmly. "The elder means that if you fall into the demonic path, he will personally lead the Six Paths to attack you."

"Oh..." Yun Qi paused, then smiled. "Would you do it too, Junior Brother?"

Xie Jingbo lowered his eyes and said nothing. Yun Qi waited a moment, then broke into a smile. "I was joking."

He yawned. "I'm tired. Go to my class this morning in my place, Junior Brother."

Xie Jingbo was silent for two seconds. "...But Senior Brother, you're the one teaching it."

Yun Qi: "...Oh."

--- Tian Nan Mountain's senior disciple Yun Qi feared pain and hard work most of all. Every day, he did nothing but tease his junior disciple and sleep.

Unexpectedly, years later, the Six Paths fell into chaos, and Yun Qi really did fall into the demonic path, turning against all his fellow disciples.

Fortunately, at the final moment, Xie Jingbo suppressed the demonic path by himself and became Tian Nan Mountain's new sect leader. Yun Qi, badly injured, mysteriously disappeared.

The Three Realms and Six Paths all praised Xie Jingbo for turning the tide, but rumors said that Xie Jingbo had spent years searching for someone.

·

After the battle among the Six Paths, Yun Qi thought he would die and be erased from existence.

But when he woke, not only had he become a sickly person who coughed up blood with every step, he had also been picked up by a cold, aloof archenemy.

Yun Qi's long hair fell over his shoulders as he knelt on the ground and tilted his head curiously. "You say you're my junior disciple, but also my archenemy?"

"But you look so familiar." Yun Qi raised his head with a faint smile. "Are you my husband?"

Xie Jingbo: "..."

--- The number-one wastrel and once the greatest genius of Tian Nan Mountain had become an amnesiac invalid.

But Yun Qi, who thought every day alive was a bonus, didn't care.

"Junior Brother, I'm tired." Yun Qi half-reclined in a tree, his peach-blossom eyes drooping sleepily. "Carry me back so I can sleep, okay?"

Xie Jingbo walked up to the tree and struck its trunk with a blank expression.

Yun Qi: "?"

He lost his balance and fell, but just as he dropped from the tree, a cold embrace caught him.

The next second, however, Yun Qi's arms suddenly wound around Xie Jingbo's neck.

"You really like me, don't you, Junior Brother?" Yun Qi said with a smile. "When are we getting married?"

Xie Jingbo: "..."

Yun Qi had thought Xie Jingbo only wanted to kill him. But this archenemy, whose hatred was known to everyone, seemed to have an odd attitude toward him.

Not only did he not want to kill him, he tried every possible way to save him.

Unfortunately, apart from Xie Jingbo, Yun Qi's other former junior disciples hated him to the core. One after another, they came for him, wanting nothing more than to get rid of him.

But they soon realized Yun Qi didn't seem to care whether he lived or died.

Someone revealed that Yun Qi's fall into the demonic path all those years ago had been the result of something else, and that he hadn't caused the chaos across the Six Realms.

But before anyone else could uncover the truth, the man who was always smiling suddenly curled up in Xie Jingbo's arms and closed his eyes, looking exhausted.

[Back then, Junior Brother said that if I fell into the demonic path, he'd personally kill me. Why won't you do it now?]

[I would save all living beings, but all living beings betrayed me.]

[Scum ex reborn as a devoted, possessive gong x genius heart-surgeon shou who once took in a child and is now reborn, with the child caring for him]

Both are reborn. The gong has to win back his lover, while the shou is frail.

Su Jinnian's greatest regret in his previous life was taking Chu Wang home in the year he graduated.

At the time, he was the youngest genius doctor at the National Medical University. Though born with heart disease, he was a peerless talent, wild and lonely.

He offended his mentor to make Chu Wang his junior disciple, then ignored his own grave illness and taught him everything he knew.

All because Chu Wang said, "Brother, I want to learn what you know, so I can cure you one day."

Then he watched Chu Wang take his friends and research away from him, and when his heart condition struck, coolly say, "Aren't you the best doctor, Brother? If you can't do it, there's nothing I can do."

Su Jinnian loved to smile with his peach-blossom eyes and open his arms to the silent Chu Wang, as if waiting for a lost puppy to find its way home.

Until one day, the puppy grew into a wolfhound, bit him, pinned him down, and watched him die in despair and endless pain.

·

Reborn, Su Jinnian came to his senses.

He decided to avoid all contact with Chu Wang from the very beginning.

Yet, for some reason, things never went according to plan.

On the rainy night when he was supposed to bring Chu Wang home, Su Jinnian slept like the dead. But somehow, he found Chu Wang, drenched from head to toe, outside his door.

He looked down and nudged the feverish Chu Wang with his foot. "Move. A good dog doesn't block the door."

Chu Wang pushed himself up and crawled one step to the side. "...Sorry."

Su Jinnian was in charge of recruitment as an outstanding senior student. Right in front of Chu Wang, he tore his application into shreds.

Leaning on his arm, he raised an eyebrow. "The application requirements aren't there for show. My school doesn't take in useless people."

Chu Wang crouched down and carefully picked up every scrap of paper. "It's my fault. Don't get angry. Your health can't take it."

Su Jinnian worked in the lab until he fainted and was hospitalized, but when he returned to school, Chu Wang had somehow enrolled anyway.

He threw a cup of water in Chu Wang's face. "Did you pull strings, Chu Wang? Don't you have any shame?"

Chu Wang calmly refilled his cup. "I do. But you can't be left without anyone to look after you."

Six months later, Su Jinnian suffered a heart attack and struggled through a whirl of memories.

As Chu Wang approached, he picked up a scalpel and held it to his neck. "Come any closer... and I'll kill you."

This time, Chu Wang didn't obey.

He let the scalpel cut into his skin, then kissed Su Jinnian amid the smell of blood and forced the medicine into his mouth.

Chu Wang's eyes were bloodshot. "Su Jinnian, you are not allowed to die in front of me again."

Su Jinnian was silent for a moment, then his peach-blossom eyes slowly curved into a smile. "Chu Wang, have you never heard that a doctor can't heal himself?"

[May we meet again, Jinnian; how can we speak of forever, Chu Wang?]
