Blurb:
Zi Shujie transmigrated into the role of the capital's top male courtesan.
One night, he sat high in a pavilion while countless cultivators and ordinary people below cried out his name, utterly captivated and crazed with infatuation. He... He covered his face, wishing he could dig out a Barbie Dreamhouse with his toes.
Someone, please save him. He's an extreme social phobe!!!
System: Get it together! Look, see that cold, aloof Immortal Venerable in front of you? Yes, go talk to him.
Zi Shujie: I see him. He looks like he wants to chop me up...
System: Don't just stand there. Tell the Supreme Demon Emperor about your glorious childhood history of chasing geese.
Zi Shujie: He says I'm the goose I chased...
System: Come on, get the overbearing Demon Lord to do the Seaweed Dance for you!
Zi Shujie: ...What exactly do you people do?
System: Our company specializes in helping patients with social mixed-vegetable syndrome overcome their condition. We wish you an early transformation into a socializing ace!
Zi Shujie: ...
Under the System's constant coercion, Zi Shujie was under a lot of pressure. Then he met a good friend who was just as socially anxious as he was. Zi Shujie decided Heaven had given him a kindred spirit. Every day after finishing his tasks, he would chatter away, complaining to his confidant: "Waaah, this world is so scary! My dear confidant, let's fly off together and live as a pair!"
His confidant smiled shyly, warmly, and bashfully. "Sure."
Reborn, Wen Renxing returned to the dark, foul-smelling alley where it had all begun. Unlike in his previous life, someone reached out a hand to him through the light and shadows, though he was still filthy.
That person was like a warm sun, with eyes and heart filled with him. He said the world was frightening, that he was afraid to stand beneath people's gazes, and that it would be better if they were the only two people left in the world.
Fine. I'll make that happen for you.
But as soon as Wen Renxing put on a secret identity, the other man came bouncing over. "Hey, gorgeous! You can't get away without dancing for me today!"
Wen Renxing: ?
Wen Renxing put on another secret identity. The other man said, "Hey, buddy, what's your name? Oh, you're the Immortal Venerable? Nice to meet you, I'm the top courtesan! I can tell we're destined to get along!"
Wen Renxing: ??
Wen Renxing put on yet another secret identity. The other man said, "Let me tell you, I was incredible as a kid. Chasing the village geese was as easy as play!"
Wen Renxing: ???
At night, Wen Renxing took off his secret identity. The other man threw himself into his arms and complained, "Waaah, I'm so miserable, and you're so miserable too! Strangers are so scary. I don't want to talk to people. Let's run away together!"
Wen Renxing: ????
#My wife calls me her kindred spirit every other word, but what is he doing behind my back every day?#
[Secret-Identity Master, scheming sweet puppy (pretending to be) top x socially anxious, lazy lie-flat bottom]
Important notes:
① The top has secret identities everywhere, and after being reborn, he's very, very dark.
② Social mixed-vegetable syndrome: extremely socially anxious around strangers, but very talkative around familiar people (from Baidu).
③ The bottom's surname is Zi, and his given name is Jie.
