After Using the Ice-Cold Beauty as a Substitute

As a notorious playboy at the White Tower, Gu Mingshu has been the subject of many rumors:

The young master of the Gu family, taken back in only after reaching adulthood; a sickly Guide with bottom-tier mental power; and... the partner of Ying Hanzhi, the White Tower's top Sentinel.

Ying Hanzhi, the strongest human alive, is cold and ruthless. He's famous at the White Tower for personally defeating his second personality after it evolved into a Dark Sentinel.

No one thought a useless, sickly wreck like Gu Mingshu could win him over with sheer devotion.

Ying Hanzhi had always looked down on the useless young master, too.

Until they were trapped in a forbidden place where they couldn't leave unless they were in love.

Ying Hanzhi took his Guide and walked out without hesitation, only to be stopped by an invisible force. He couldn't take another step.

He turned around in shock.

Gu Mingshu stood where he was, smiling playfully, his tone as casual as ever. “Darling, I can't... get through this barrier with you.”

At first, Ying Hanzhi thought Gu Mingshu loved him.

Only later did he realize the man just wanted to recreate the shadow of another personality through him.

The blood markings of a Dark Sentinel surfaced on Ying Hanzhi's forehead.

He held Gu Mingshu captive in his arms, his expression manic and his voice hoarse. “Will you like me if I do this?”

“Smile.”

The young man's finger touched his lips. “You look like him only when you smile.”

["Reading Guide"]

A replacement-seeking top × a sickly bottom who isn't quite right in the head. The cover features the bottom.

A let-loose, indulgent story of bitter love, mutual destruction, and melodramatic angst.

The top is awful at first, but will later have to win the bottom back. The top and the white moonlight are the same person. At first, their memories aren't shared, but later they merge.

The bottom is putting on an act. His illness is real, but his weakness is fake. He's ruthless and has plenty of moral flaws.

This is seriously melodramatic. Both top and bottom are toxic in their own ways, and both are crazy in their own ways, so please proceed with caution!
