Everyone Adds Wood to the Crematorium

At the edge of a cliff, the wind howled as the hidden guard held a sword to each of Gu Pu and Yun Yang's necks.

"High Priest, choose one: your believer or your lover."

Blood soaked through his white robes. Gu Pu was kicked to his knees, fingers digging into the earth until his knuckles turned white. His breath hitched, and he could barely speak. "My lord... abandon me."

He had stayed by Bo Luanrong's side for three years. His only wish was to remain at his side day after day as a hidden guard. To die for him was the fate Gu Pu had willingly chosen.

Bo Luanrong's voice trembled. "...I choose Yun Yang."

Gu Pu didn't miss the brief hesitation in Bo Luanrong's eyes. To him, even that fleeting pause was enough.

"Take care."

Gu Pu gave a bitter, desolate laugh, then spun around with lightning speed and lunged at the hidden guard, who hadn't reacted in time. The two of them plunged together into the unfathomably deep ravine

As a veteran employee of the Heartbreak Division in the Transmigration Bureau's Substitute Department, Gu Pu took on a major assignment. He had to play the substitute for three different people in one book.

And he had to keep all three from finding out about one another, so he could leave in triumph once the mission was complete.

Bo Luanrong used Gu Pu as a human test subject for medicine, locking him up in the Jitian Bureau for over a hundred days. At last, he created a cure for Yun Yang's chronic illness.

On his wedding day, Bo Luanrong couldn't stop thinking about those dark eyelashes, rimmed with ice in the freezing night.

Even when Gu Pu was in pain from testing the medicine, trembling all over and pale-faced, he was still willing to kneel in the biting snow, back straight and eyes lowered as he endured.

He hurried to the cliff outside the city, wanting to see the lonely, unmarked grave. But there, at the grave, he unexpectedly found a young emperor in disarray, wearing a bright yellow cloak. Then, in the blink of an eye, he spotted a young general approaching with a sword.

"...Did you come to find him too?"

Gu Pu had gone too far and had nowhere to hide. He was driven step by step into a corner, with only a carriage beside him.

The carriage curtain stirred. A black cloak swept through the air and wrapped him tightly in its owner's arms.

"All of you, get lost."

[The top is none of the three men. There is someone else.]
