Synopsis

I wanted to see a younger man gradually grow up and carefully plot his way forward, while the powerful older man finally takes a fall. So I made up this whole story just to satisfy that craving.

Couple: Sha Miu, the poor little thing who grows into a big bad guy (?), as the top × Te Rui Ya, a demon and soul merchant who delighted in everything until he delighted himself to death, as the bottom

Sha Miu knew the demon only worked as a soul merchant on a whim.

He also knew that, despite his sincere-sounding words, the demon was a heartless merchant.

But Sha Miu also knew that under the rules of trade, as long as you paid the price, the demon could sell you anything.

Including himself.

I was too lazy to look anything up, so I just made it all up. The demons and all those weird English symbols are entirely my invention. The idea that knowing a demon’s name gives you power over them is, however, a common trope in exorcism movies.

Theme: Only by making an equal effort and offering sincere feelings can you find love.

Top POV, One-on-One Romance

I read gong-focused, gong-leaning, shou-leaning, and mutually doting couples, but only 1v1. I’m not into everyone-loves-the-protagonist plots, one-sided crushes, weak gongs, or muscular shous. I prefer strong gongs and beautiful shous, or two strong leads.

Top-Centric, One-on-One (Strong, Adored, Reliable Bottoms)

High-quality bottoms with charisma and an overwhelming sense of security. No trashy scumbags. No Mary Sue or manchild tops; no housewife, shrewish, insecure, or deadweight bottoms. Good writing.
