Thousand Crossings

[All the Immortals Pay Homage: He Was Born to Rule]

Yan Xiang, the abandoned son of the Human Emperor, was cast out and left to wander. He survived thanks to someone who rescued him.

The art of summoning brought forth evil spirits.

Though they had nothing to do with each other, the two signed a blood pact and became inseparable.

Yan Xiang was of royal blood, yet he was abandoned. Fortunately, he encountered the Lord of Manzhou City, who saved his life.

After that, Yan Xiang joined the Divine Temple and wielded a Xuan Xiao to slaughter evil spirits.

He and Fenghuang were, respectively, the abandoned son of the Human Emperor and a god who had laid down his vast sins. Yan Xiang thought he and Fenghuang were no more than enemies bound by a contract, but in the end, neither could leave the other.

But a phoenix said to bring good fortune isn't necessarily a good person. Yan Xiang thought he was moody and unpredictable: one moment he would be smiling at you, and the next your head might be rolling on the ground.

Yet this inscrutable phoenix was the first to make Yan Xiang, a straight man who couldn't even charm women, fall in love.

Yan Xiang (the steady gong) x Yu (with a mercurial, inscrutable personality)

This story features:

1. Two equally powerful male leads, primarily a gong and shou pairing [but the shou is stronger]

2. An alternate-history tale of slaying demons and vanquishing evil

3. The romance develops at a leisurely pace [neither of them is very perceptive when it comes to matters of the heart]

4. That's all. I hope you enjoy reading!
