As the strongest spirit apprentice in the Living Beings instance, You Sang has two things he can't stand.

The first is the thorn that shares his senses.

It completely loses its dignity whenever it encounters a certain spirit catcher surnamed Xie, destroying You Sang's aloof, mysterious boss persona. It even rushes over to snuggle up to him.

In the end, Xie successfully arrests it, calls it improper and obviously disobedient, and pins the label "unfit to raise a child" on You Sang.

You Sang: ???

The second is this certain Xie.

He folds instance items into designer paper airplanes, or single-handedly turns horror puzzle-solving instances into battle royales.

Even now, whenever You Sang sees the long red team name above the man's head, so long it needs to scroll, he feels his vision go black at the thought that he's on this unreliable team too: [Red Carp, Green Carp, and Donkey Roll].

You Sang stood in front of Xie Nanchang, reached out, hooked a finger under the choker around his neck, and tugged him closer. "Do me a favor and get one thing straight: you're supposed to mess with the enemy, not your own teammates."

Xie Nanchang leaned in with the pull, the faintest hint of an unconcerned smile at his lips.

"Are you giving me orders?" He even lifted a hand and held the fingers You Sang had wrapped around his choker. "My dear young master."

The place where their skin touched grew warmer and warmer. You Sang's fingers moved involuntarily as he looked down at Xie Nanchang.

"You know what to do, don't you, Your Highness, Imperial Commander?"

Unfortunately, Xie Nanchang was always "different on the inside than he appeared on the outside."

He would bite down on the rope himself and place it in You Sang's hand, but he would also peel away the surface of an order to reveal the humanity underneath, looking to the beloved who stood at the top of the command chain.

Reader's guide: (1) 1v1, happy ending, two equally strong leads

(2) Carefree commander seme x elegant, aloof experimental subject uke

(3) Lots of personal worldbuilding, please don't overanalyze it

(4) Due to the setting, this is an ensemble story, with half the story from each lead's perspective. The opening isn't well written, but the writing gets better later.

(5) Quite a bit of plot unrelated to the instances will be interspersed between them. It serves the main plot.

(6) Content warnings: There are side couples, both BL and BG, but they get very little page time. The leads are a bit slow to warm up, but things get very sweet later.

(The author is terrible at writing blurbs and will improve this later.)

Thank you for your support.

Theme: Genes determine instinct, but they can't determine human nature.
