The winter snow melts, and spring grass grows again. You are the sunrise I've been waiting for.
Xie Linyuan transmigrated into a book and became an unremarkable junior disciple of the Sword Sect. His assigned role was to be a tool for bringing the male and female leads together, but he discovered that his original body's owner had a shocking secret: a body meant for immortal cultivation could actually absorb demonic energy.
What's more, the original body's owner had only five years of memories from his time at the Sword Sect. Yet Xie Linyuan often dreamed of the owner's past. Those nights were so painful that he could vaguely see his great-grandmother waving at him.
So he guessed that this was just one of the original owner's secret identities.
He never expected that after following his assignment and dying by the male lead Qi Weichen's sword, he would wake up to find the usually cold and aloof Qi Weichen standing over him. Qi Weichen had bound his hands with the red ribbon he liked best, then trembled as he whispered in Xie Linyuan's ear, “Don't leave me again.”
Xie Linyuan: The original body's owner was actually me?
After being locked away for a hundred years, their love finally found an outlet. Qi Weichen stared intently at the living, breathing person before him and swore that from this day on, he would keep Xie Linyuan firmly in his grasp and never let him leave his side again.
Bonus scene:
Xie Linyuan (smug.jpg): In the Sword Sect, there's no general or marshal, only your dad, Lin.
The Sword Sect disciples looked from Qi Weichen to Xie Linyuan and suddenly understood. “Oh, you're the bottom's dad.”
Xie Linyuan (smug.jpg): You don't know what Senior Brother did last night when I...
Qi Weichen happened to pass by and said coolly, “Come practice your swordsmanship.”
The Sword Sect disciples jeered, “You'd better actually be practicing swordsmanship!”
Xie Linyuan (nervous laugh.jpg): Senior Brother, I was wrong.
A seemingly cold and heartless top who is actually a hopeless romantic x a seemingly carefree bottom who is actually conflicted and awkward
P.S.:
1. One-on-one romance, bottom's point of view, happy ending.
2. I'm determined to tell a heavy story in a silly style.
3. Xie Linyuan, the undisputed king of trash talk: Instead of mentally exhausting myself, I'd rather wear other people down with my words.
4. The bottom has the beautiful-but-tragic archetype, and the top gets a bit of a rabid-dog streak later on.
