A carefree, playful, warm-hearted, flirtatious swordsman top x a beautiful, powerful, tragic, cold bottom who walks the line between good and evil

Power couple, first love in their youth, confidants, sharing life and death, loving and fighting each other, reconciling, sweet and angsty, 1v1, happy ending

Blurb I:

Jiang Zhuo, young master of the Xuancang Sect, refuses to suffer the scorn and slander of others. So he drinks to excess, treats life like a game, and roams the martial world with his sword.

On a snowy spring night, he meets Zhuang Lin, whose identity is shrouded in mystery. His blade grazes the man's neck, and he smiles roguishly. "Forgive me, beautiful one. I was too forward."

An evil sect's ancient texts resurface, the Qingyang Sect Leader suffers a qi deviation, and time suddenly flows backward by seven days at the Sword-Washing Manor... Amid the dangers and turmoil of the martial world, Jiang Zhuo suddenly longs for somewhere to belong. He turns his gaze to Zhuang Lin, a man who is ruthless and unyielding even toward himself, yet shows a chivalrous and gentle heart to others.

He becomes obsessed with solving the mysteries surrounding Zhuang Lin and, without realizing it, wagers his heart and loses. He can only accept that he owes a lifetime of longing.

Only much later does he learn that beneath Zhuang Lin's exquisite, otherworldly beauty lies a lonely wandering soul abandoned by the world, a prisoner shackled by half a lifetime of vengeance and old debts.

Blurb II:

Jiang Zhuo cannot bear the thought of Zhuang Lin being nothing more than a fleeting glimpse in his life.

After surviving life and death together, they finally get to lie drunk together in the snow. Jiang Zhuo puts a token around his neck. "Now that I've tied it on, you're mine forever."

But one day, he wakes from a dream to find that the beauty is trying to run away.

He thought Zhuang Lin was a cold little immortal, only to discover that he has sharp fangs, ruthless methods, and is especially good at deceiving people.

But once Jiang Zhuo has chosen someone, he will never let go.

At last, after losing and finding his beloved again, he holds his lover, burdened by illness, close amid the crowds. "I heard he was still alive, but that he'd become the enemy of the entire immortal sect. So I came to stand by him."

Slow burn, hang in there! Feel free to bookmark and let it build up~

Content warning: The bottom isn't a good person. He's more like a villain, ruthless and merciless.

Little scenes:

Zhuang Lin leans close to his ear and sighs as if in a dream. "A Zhuo, can you save me?"

Jiang Zhuo strokes the crown of his head and says gently, "How will we know unless we try? I'm the one who loves you."

"A Lin, let's get married."

Zhuang Lin pauses slightly and looks into his eyes.

Jiang Zhuo raises an eyebrow and meets his gaze. "Don't tell me you only wanted to seduce me a few times?"

"You can't beat me. You're a gentleman who upholds the Way with your sword, while I'm a scoundrel who stops at nothing." Zhuang Lin smiles lazily. "After all we've shared, how could I bring myself to kill you?"

Jiang Zhuo deliberately provokes him. "You're cunning and manipulative. I wouldn't presume to say we've shared anything. Maybe it was those few nights in bed that left such a deep impression on you?"

Jiang Zhuo says, "I trust my sword to win everything I want, without relying on anyone else."

Zhuang Lin says, "I survived the calamity, and now I can stand here and question the leaders of the righteous sects about the truth of what happened back then. Isn't that reason enough?"

Yet even after reopening a case buried for ten years, Zhuang Lin's blade of vengeance can only strike at nothingness.

What is the "Ultimate Way" sought by all under heaven? The Great Way is distant and impossible to grasp, but my feelings are my Way.
