Soft, harmless, but ridiculously powerful bottom x gentle as jade, yet ruthless and unhinged top
System Ji Xi x Traveler Yue Cenli
The Not-So-Serious Blurb:
Ji Xi is human, but he is also a System. His job is to escort people entering instances safely to the Mirror Realm.
He did the job smoothly for three years, until he ran into a little trouble on his latest assignment.
A man who claimed to be his husband became his Traveler.
Ji Xi sat in the passenger seat, so the other man insisted on taking the driver's seat.
If Ji Xi sat in the back, even better: the back seat had to belong to the two of them alone.
And that wasn't all. The man was far too handsy, constantly touching him.
After the man touched Ji Xi's waist for the nth time, Ji Xi snapped and held the short blade exclusive to Systems against his neck.
The man only blinked. "I was just getting some candy."
Ji Xi: "...What candy could I possibly have on me?!"
Ji Xi successfully met up with another System to hand over the assignment.
Before he could say a word, someone cut in: "You're the one who stole my wife?"
The other System: "?"
Ji Xi: "..."

The Serious Blurb:
Transporting Travelers may seem like a simple job, but in reality it comes with pressure from all sides.
To protect Travelers in this harsh environment, Systems were created.
Ji Xi is a new-generation System. He doesn't understand this vast framework, and he isn't interested in it either. He just wants to do his job well.
His normally peaceful work was disrupted by a Traveler who claimed to be his husband. For the first time, Ji Xi wanted to uncover the truth about this world.

When Yue Cenli woke up one day, the wife he'd been married to for twelve years was gone.
He searched all of Hai City, only to learn that his beloved had died. After seeing the body with his own eyes, he completely lost hope.
He spent his days in misery until a friend told him there was a gate on Green Mountain, and that if he stepped through it, he could meet the person he longed to see.
He didn't believe it, but he went anyway.
There was a cliff on the other side of the gate, and he stepped through without hesitation.
His beloved was already gone. What reason did he have to cling to life?
Miraculously, he didn't die.
He even saw the wife he'd yearned for, the one he'd been married to for twelve years.
The rumors really were true.
As long as you cross the gate on Green Mountain, you can go anywhere to see the person you want to see.
[Reading Guide]
1. Both the top and bottom are unhinged. One-on-one romance, older top, and both are each other's only partner.
2. The setting is a modern alternate world. Humans enter instances voluntarily, and forced entry is rare. Completing an instance grants a wish. Those who enter instances are called Travelers, and their escorts are Systems.
3. A satisfying power fantasy! When two people with overwhelming combat power get together, they just beat up anyone they don't like. They never take a loss!
Note: The inspiration came so long ago that I didn't save my first blurb revision. The official version is the blurb from 4.29, and I've uploaded a screenshot to Weibo.
