Canaries Dream of Fierce Dogs? [Sentinel and Guide]

Career-focused blurb

Aichiao, a man living in the year 4022 of the Star Calendar, transmigrates to the Li Dynasty three thousand years in the past, then transmigrates back to the future. This time, he brings back Mu Shiye, the prince who tormented and coerced him in the Li Dynasty.

Mu Shiye was once a pampered prince in the Li Dynasty, but an accident brings him to the future. Here, he can no longer do as he pleases or command everyone at will. Instead, he has to obey Aichiao, the little plaything in his eyes.

Because they are a Sentinel and a Guide, Aichiao and Mu Shiye, who both want to kill each other, are bound together. They enter the combat division to train and end up living under the same roof.

Aichiao: "I refuse to be stuck with this barbarian!"

Mu Shiye: "I refuse to be stuck with this little plaything!"

After enduring trial after trial, the two men who once couldn't stand each other go from having no rapport to becoming an outstanding team. Together, they expand the Star Alliance's territory and defeat one enemy after another.

As their investigation deepens, they gradually uncover the secrets hidden within themselves, and the truth behind them leaves them stunned. Aichiao's transmigration was no accident, and Mu Shiye becoming a Sentinel was no mere genetic mutation. Their greatest enemy turns out to be...

Romance-focused blurb

Aichiao was raised to believe in absolute rationality: reason is the key to solving every problem. Even when bound to the person he hates most, he must follow the arrangements, because that is the optimal solution. After once again finding the optimal solution through sheer rationality, he decisively abandons Mu Shiye for the greater good. When Mu Shiye returns alive and asks whether he regrets that decision, Aichiao still answers rationally that he does not. But only Aichiao knows how much he suffered during that time. He also realizes that Mu Shiye isn't just a fierce dog who can be tamed, but a wolf.

If the price of the optimal solution is Mu Shiye, is it still the optimal solution?

Mu Shiye has always gotten whatever he wanted, and has always believed he is the one in control of everything. A canary could never escape his grasp. It wasn't until Aichiao abandoned him for the greater good that he understood he was the plaything. Aichiao was never a canary, nor some celestial being untouched by worldly affairs. He is an eagle soaring through the sky, a god looking down on all things, a god who loves every person equally. Perhaps a humble prayer might earn a god's pity, but if he destroys everything the god loves, might he win the god's mercy?

If I can't be your only love, then I'll be your only hate.
