Reconciliation after a breakup, younger male lead, happy ending
1.
Ling Can is a prodigy. He earned his PhD in computer science at twenty-three and became chief algorithm scientist at Xinghe Tech. The greatest setback of his life was being dumped over the phone by his boyfriend while studying abroad.
Wen Renwang left him with only one word, "Tired," then vanished without a trace.
2.
One day, Wen Renwang attended the launch of an archaeological project as a photographer, only to run into his ex-boyfriend from years ago.
Ling Can still had that distant look in his eyes, calm as still water. A string of agarwood prayer beads hung from his left wrist, completely out of place in the surroundings. He looked even more like a robot programmed in advance than he had five years ago.
Wen Renwang gave him a wry smile and looked him up and down, particularly interested in his ex's hair. "When you get your head shaved, remember to invite me to watch!"
Ling Can clenched the prayer beads. "Buddha's comp... compassion."
When exes meet, sparks fly. That very night, Ling Can broke his vow.
Wen Renwang: Heh, I knew you weren't truly free of worldly desires.
Ling Can × Wen Renwang. The story shares a setting with Still Burning at Dawn, with a very light career storyline.
Of course I had to write about a capital-circle Buddhist ascetic on Jinjiang!
