[The gong: EEE! (All scrambling to answer first) (And pretending they never did any of those stupid things in A through D)]
① Abstinent, devoted, obsessive subordinate gong × outwardly warm but inwardly cold, melancholic beauty shou
② Young, fatherly, ruthless and taciturn human gong × aloof, abstinent insect emperor shou
③ A gong who sees through worldly conventions and has a cold, detached heart, but is dragged down into the mortal world × proud, scheming, heaven-blessed heir shou
④ Cunning, arrogant, imperious python gong × pure, kind, innocent, beautiful elf shou
[An episodic novel with a gong-focused perspective. In short, the gong and shou are deeply in love, but an accident strikes and the shou dies. The gong goes mad searching for a way to bring him back to life.
Years later, the gong finds a way and signs a contract with the System, Bai Xiao, reviving the shou, who has no memories.
After that, the two pretend to do missions while secretly falling in love all over again and working together to restore the shou's memories. A sweet romance story.]
To readers coming from the neighboring novel:
① This is the story of Liang Chi Yu's friend Qi Zezhan and his husband from World ① next door.
② This is the story of Lindberg and Cyril, friends of Ernest, from World ② next door. (Lindberg is the shou.)
③ This is the story of Xiao Zhilan and Liankong from World ③ next door. (Xiao Zhilan is the shou.)
④ This is a story based on the originally planned World ⑤ next door, with changed settings but the same characterizations.
A few notes:
① Strong characters mutually dote on each other, both devoted only to one another
② The shou is revived by the System using a special ability. In other words, he still has the same body; he has simply miraculously come back to life. (His body is no longer in the grave.)
③ Even without his memories, the shou inevitably falls in love with the gong. Their love is fated.
Theme: Keep striving through every setback.
