Blurb One:
For the citizens of the Empire, the First Military Academy is the ultimate test of one's abilities. Every Guide and Sentinel dreams of entering the military through its doors and setting off toward a bright future.
Shu Fulei, however, only wants to get through this time quietly. After all, he's just a B-rank Sentinel with nothing going for him except cuteness and good looks.
But his peaceful days come to an abrupt end when Imperial Marshal Rui Nabing visits the First Military Academy.
Rui Nabing, an Imperial Marshal with both top-tier abilities and looks, not only invites Shu Fulei to join the Empire's strongest knight corps in front of everyone, but also openly recruits him to go to the front lines as his personal Sentinel.
The students of the First Military Academy are stunned: What is this ridiculous idol-drama plot?
Damn it, I'm so jealous! Can't I be the one?
The Marshal's overtures and obvious affection make the other Sentinels envious and wistful. They wish they could take Shu Fulei's place.
That's why Shu Fulei's indifferent silence is especially infuriating.
“Come on, that's the Marshal!”
“What does a mere B-rank Sentinel have to deserve an SSS-rank Guide?!”
“Quit pretending!”
For a time, Shu Fulei becomes everyone's target. The Sentinels take pleasure in picking on him or arrogantly challenging him to duels.
Everyone wants to see the lucky guy who's been favored by the Marshal but doesn't even realize it get humiliated.
Shu Fulei takes every instance of bullying and injustice in stride, returning each in kind. But in private, he calmly turns down Rui Nabing, who has come looking for him.
The other man only smiles and shakes his head, making his favoritism even more obvious.
“They don't understand. You deserve every honor.”
Blurb Two:
Only Shu Fulei knows what kind of relationship he has with Imperial Marshal Rui Nabing.
A hundred percent compatibility is an inescapable bond, but also an invisible shackle and prison.
He doesn't want to face this fate, so he runs away in hopes of living an ordinary life. But Rui Nabing tracks him down and earnestly pursues him.
In the training room, the Imperial Marshal stands close enough that their breaths mingle, whispering in his ear: “Admit it. You were born for me.”
Shu Fulei plays along and agrees: “That's right. I'll be the Marshal's sharpest blade.”
“No,” the Marshal murmurs, warm breath brushing the skin behind his ear. “I mean we're made for each other, both in spirit and in body.”
Shu Fulei clears his throat at that, his face turning bright red. “Oh, really...”
Yikes, what should I do?
Shu Fulei thinks, The Marshal really is a pervert.
When the ordinary B-rank Sentinel Shu Fulei is revealed to have a hundred percent compatibility with the Marshal, people assume the Marshal will lose interest in him after their matching and bonding period.
Later, everyone in the Empire discovers that after Shu Fulei forms a mental link with the Marshal, the once-bullied Sentinel becomes unbeatable on the simulated battlefield.
People watch as he devotes himself to his career and grows from a target of public scorn into an Empire hero.
Everyone: No wonder the Marshal chose him. He's amazing!
Tips:
The CP is a black-hearted Sentinel gong who uses his cuteness to fool people x a powerful and yandere mad-dog Guide shou.
Their spirit animals are a fox x a dragon.
Mainly told from the gong's perspective. Shu Fulei is the gong; the shou dotes on the gong, and the shou is so strong he can get himself moving ( ).
