A Guide's Daily Work

[Volume One focuses mainly on the plot, while the romance starts developing in Volume Two. The plot-to-romance ratio is around 6:4. Thank you, dear readers, for your support!] 1. Bai Chengyuan was once the youngest God of War in the empire. After a war, he was driven out of the centers of power and spent eight years in a rehabilitation facility. Rumor had it that he was now a cripple. When Bai Chengyuan returned to the military, everyone waited to see him make a fool of himself. Bai Chengyuan took charge of Outpost Eleven, which was already on the verge of collapse and bound to fall to the enemy sooner or later. They all thought he was crazy. But no one expected that a guide could revive the outpost single-handedly, turn the entire battlefield on its head, and become a legend praised throughout the empire, deserving of every bit of his fame. 2. Outpost Eleven, located on the empire's border, was constantly harassed by enemy forces. The sentinels assigned there endured years of mental and physical torment. As the outpost's captain, Ji Sui had long since grown numb to scenes like this. He did everything he could to protect his subordinates, walking on eggshells to maintain the outpost's fragile balance. Because of the selfishness of their previous commander, the comrades he considered family had all been pushed to the brink of death. Ji Sui chose to take revenge. He murdered the commander and should have been sentenced to death by the Tribunal. But "Forget it. Let him go. He'll learn his lesson if he follows me," the new commander said. With a casual tone and an assertive manner, he put pressure on the Tribunal's powerful figures. He personally shattered the sentinel's mental defenses, then gently gathered the wounded mental projection into his arms. "Don't be afraid." The man's warm, slightly hoarse voice sounded by his ear. The sentinel's long-frozen heart finally began beating again. Bonus Scene: Late one night, after finding someone else's contact information in his partner's pocket, Bai Chengyuan opened a mental link and took away the sentinel's sight. Ji Sui tried to explain, but his lips were sealed, leaving him unable to speak. "As your punishment, I've increased your sensitivity." Ji Sui: ! "Don't rush. The night is still young." The guide's voice was a devil's whisper, but he never stopped moving. Like a tiny boat tossed and battered by the waves, the sentinel's consciousness gradually grew hazy. At the last moment, he felt the guide kiss the corner of his lips. "I love you," the guide said. The sentinel had always believed Bai Chengyuan was a dazzling ray of light in his life. But he didn't know that, to Bai Chengyuan, Ji Sui was the one fate had chosen for him. Reading Guide: 1. Sentinel-guide worldbuilding, both sexually inexperienced, CP: Ji Sui. Lots of personal worldbuilding, and parts of the plot may be heavy. 2. Guide-gong story. The male lead is the strongest, but his personality isn't perfect. 3. A beautiful, strong, and tragic gong who grows over time × a mad, powerful shou [The following are upcoming stories by the author] 1. Cheng Yang grew up unloved by both parents. After they divorced, the only person he had was his older brother, six years his senior. When Cheng Yang was fifteen, his brother died in a car accident. His relatives treated him like a problem and passed him from one to another. After he got into a fight with a classmate, he was kicked out of the family for good. All he had left was 32 yuan and 60 cents in his pocket. With nowhere to go, Cheng Yang sat in a daze beside the flower bed beneath his apartment building. A black SUV silently pulled up beside him. "Hey, kid, are you Cheng Wen's little brother?" A man leaned one arm against the car door. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the muscles in his arms stretched the fabric taut. Through the man's slightly open collar, Cheng Yang could see a large tattoo spreading across his skin. The man lazily sized up the tall, skinny boy, who watched him warily. "I'm an old friend of your brother's. From now on, call me Uncle Lang." Cheng Yang lowered his eyes and obediently murmured, "Mm." Then he crushed the cigarette pack in his hand and secretly tossed it into the grass. 2. Everyone in S City knew that Meng Yuanlang, a business mogul with many men under his command who had spent years moving through the gray areas of society, had suddenly taken in a white-haired boy. At first, people speculated wildly, guessing that the boy with his fluffy curls was Meng Yuanlang's illegitimate son, just brought back from outside. The boy was tall and slender, and looked fragile, as if he might break at any moment. Several years later, Cheng Yang, now an adult, appeared before everyone once more. "Have you heard? Meng Yuanlang was badly wounded in a revenge attack, and no one's been able to find him since," said Bystander A. "...The Meng family's business is on the brink of collapse. At this point, they can only push their adopted son forward as a shield," Bystander B said, shaking their head sadly. Under everyone's gaze, the handsome young man easily put the reporters who had come to watch the spectacle in their place. After the banquet ended, the young man headed straight to the basement of the villa, as if he knew the way by heart. The man rumored to be missing was sitting against the headboard, perfectly unharmed. "...How long are you going to keep me locked up?" Meng Yuanlang looked at the ungrateful wretch he'd raised himself, his head throbbing and his chest tight with anger. Cheng Yang bent down and placed a gentle kiss against his neck. "Be good." His voice was soft and warm, his cool fingertips brushing over the iron chain around the man's ankle. "If you didn't keep trying to run away, I wouldn't have to lock you up." Seeing the innocent look on his face, Meng Yuanlang finally laughed in anger. "And to think I once believed you were a little lamb I could mold any way I wanted." Turns out he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. [Reading Guide] 1. Gong-centric story, with an age gap and a younger gong. Cheng Yang is the gong. 2. Twelve-year age difference.
