[The restrained, cool-headed, jealous top x the carefree, lively, flirtatious bottom]
Mu Wuyou, a general's son, carries the Son of Heaven's Sword, reforged from the flesh and blood of the emperor, Chu Anming. He defeats the Qiongqi beast the enemy nation unleashed on the battlefield. He wins, but becomes a "widower."
Mu Wuyou is seventeen that year.
Chu Anming and Mu Wuyou grew up together and were as close as brothers. The newly enthroned emperor dislikes Chu Anming, so he also takes a dislike to Mu Wuyou. He constantly makes things difficult for Mu Wuyou, convinced his military achievements will threaten the throne, and has the ministers ostracize him.
In utter despair, Mu Wuyou leaves the court with the Son of Heaven's Sword and wanders the martial world. By chance, he gains an immortal's blessing. A horsetail whisk in his hand can command "heavenly soldiers and generals" and unleash awesome power.
From then on, Mu Wuyou rises to fame in the martial world, dominating every challenge and winning every fight. Though he is merely a rogue cultivator, he becomes the leader of the Immortal Alliance, drawing resentment and criticism from many prestigious sects. Some even gather a large force to assassinate him.
Mu Wuyou can't help it.
Fine, fine. So a person as outstanding as me is hated no matter where I go, huh?
But Mu Wuyou has always felt that someone is protecting him in secret. Many times, when he has found himself in danger, he has somehow escaped unscathed.
Mu Wuyou can't make heads or tails of it.
How strange. Who is this person secretly protecting me?
(Obviously, your husband!)
Eleven years later, the Son of Heaven's Sword, which Mu Wuyou has always carried, suddenly breaks. He immediately decides to find someone who can repair it.
But not long after setting off to find a swordsmith, Mu Wuyou runs into someone he knows.
That old acquaintance is... Chu Anming?
Huh? How can it be him?
Didn't Chu Anming die long ago, sacrificed to the sword?!

Seeking Home Through Wind and Rain
[The tender, deeply devoted, secretly passionate top x the vengeful, hot-tempered bottom]
In the martial world's rumors, Yin Changning, the poison king who excels at using toxins, is a vicious man. He looks terrifying, everyone fears him, and some call him the "Poison Master of Annihilation." But they don't know that Yin Changning was once a handsome, refined young hero, so beautiful that he could be mistaken for a woman, who fought evil and defended the weak. His fame spread far and wide, and countless people revered him as a chivalrous hero.
The world is cruel in chaotic times. Yin Changning was only seven when his family was massacred, and he alone survived by sheer luck.
He ran, he fled, and after years of wandering, he was still always alone. That is, until he met Feng Yulian, the Medicine King. Through a twist of fate, the two came together and faced all kinds of hardship side by side.
Yin Changning is flirtatious without realizing it. As Feng Yulian pursues him time and again, he gradually falls for him.
After finally avenging his family, Yin Changning is hunted by the remnants of a band of villains. He is wanted, branded a criminal everyone is out to kill.
One winter, Yin Changning and Feng Yulian unexpectedly confess their feelings. They spend a passionate night together and share their love. But Yin Changning runs away so his revenge won't bring Feng Yulian trouble.
A taste of love is never enough to satisfy. When his lover leaves without a word, Feng Yulian goes completely mad.
From then on, one runs, the other chases, and there is nowhere to escape.
In a room, Feng Yulian shoves Yin Changning against the wall. He demands, "Yin Changning, it's been three years. Where have you been?"
Yin Changning tries to deny it. "Yin Changning? I don't know any Yin Changning. I'm not that wanted criminal."
But Feng Yulian doesn't care! Now that he's caught him, he'll hold on tight and never let him go again!
Their old friend has returned, and their story is only just beginning.

Dual timelines with an interwoven, plot-driven narrative. The couple join forces to fight monsters, solve cases, clear up misunderstandings, share sweet moments, and raise a child (their adopted son).
Welcome to the Heroes of the Martial World
[The earnest, persistent, straightforward, loyal top x the sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, suspicious, proud bottom]
Yun Feixu is an overworked nobody, just another scrap at the fringes of society. After graduating from college, he goes through job after job. Little by little, reality crushes the dream he has held since childhood.
One day, an accident causes Yun Feixu to be reborn inside a martial arts game he often plays, called Heroes of the Martial World.
He thinks he'll just be a minor NPC in this martial arts world, but the System tells him he's been reborn as a powerful, unbeatable game boss!
Oh no, how could a fragile nobody from the fringes of society handle being a boss of that caliber?!
As if things weren't bad enough, Yun Feixu is forced to take on a disciple named Yi Junyan, and he's even an inner disciple.
This disciple clings to Yun Feixu and wears him down with relentless pleading. Yun Feixu screams inside, "SOS!!!"
Doesn't everyone know how this kind of story goes? If it keeps going like this, he'll lose his chrysanthemum (beep!)!
But the quests issued by the System leave Yun Feixu no choice.
Forced to work alongside this "good disciple," Yun Feixu is thrown into a series of story quests, perilous adventures, and life-or-death trials...
Fortunately, this disciple is a player, not an NPC in the game. Players eventually log off, so Yun Feixu can at least catch his breath.
What Yun Feixu doesn't know is that this player disciple is the very survivor he saved during that accident.
And the player disciple doesn't know that the Yun Feixu who saved his life has been reborn in the body of this game's boss...
Both leads' first time, one-on-one, happy ending, younger top, unconventional master-disciple relationship
The top plays the pig to eat the tiger and uses an alt account; the bottom is completely unaware and deeply responsible. A battle between two max-level powerhouses.
Theme: We depend on each other; when one falls, the other is imperiled
