Ming Xiu'ai never imagined that one day his lowly mortal junior brother would pin him down on a bed.
He was the son of an Immortal Sovereign, exalted above all others. His junior brother, Gu Wuku, was born mortal, lowly and insignificant.
When they were young, Ming Xiu'ai trampled Gu Wuku underfoot and tormented him without restraint, to the point that even their fellow disciples couldn't stand to watch. But no one dared help Gu Wuku. Everyone thought this was simply his lot in life.
Until the war between immortals and demons, when Ming Xiu'ai was gravely wounded and fell unconscious. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself locked in a basement.
Gu Wuku emerged from the darkness. "Hello, Senior Brother."
Ming Xiu'ai's heart sank. This was it.
"Gu Wuku! How dare you imprison me! If my father finds out, "
"No one will find out." Gu Wuku leaned down, his voice soft. "My dear Senior Brother, everyone thinks you've already died in battle."
"You don't think you can escape, do you?"
Ming Xiu'ai was terrified. He had lost all his spiritual power and was no longer a match for Gu Wuku. Gu Wuku hated him to the core and would surely take a terrible revenge on him.
No matter how proud and noble he had been, during the days Gu Wuku kept him imprisoned and tortured him, his temperament gradually softened, and he began begging Gu Wuku for mercy.
Gu Wuku lifted his chin. "Want to live?"
Ming Xiu'ai nodded vigorously.
"Then you should think carefully about how to please me."
Ming Xiu'ai stiffened. Remembering the rumor that Gu Wuku liked men, he stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked Gu Wuku's finger, his eyes full of ingratiating flattery.
Gu Wuku froze, then shook his head with a scoff.
"Licking my finger isn't enough."
Gu Wuku had lived a life of misery. At the darkest point of his life, when he most wanted to end it all, that lofty Senior Brother came crashing down.
Right into his arms.
Gu Wuku, who had nothing, suddenly seemed to have something of his own.
Only, that something was rather disobedient.
No matter.
He could teach him.
Reader's guide:
1. The top is miserable early on, the bottom suffers in the middle, and things turn sweet later. Not for extreme fans of either character.
2. The wicked get their comeuppance.
3. Even the hateful may have something pitiful about them.
4. Both are each other's first and only, happy ending, love amid bitter resentment.
