A Guide to Saving a World-Weary Top

Cool, world-weary beauty top x gentle, steady, heaven-blessed prodigy bottom One wants to die, the other won’t let him. The bottom saves the top. Ye An was born at the Alliance’s Asteroid Nurturing Institute. From an early age, he displayed an extraordinary intellect and a once-in-a-million talent. He should have entered the Supreme Academy of Sciences at fifteen and set out on a dazzling path lined with flowers and glory. Then an accident erased every trace of his brilliance. The genius fell into the mire, imprisoned by pain, until little by little, he stopped fighting back. For ten years, he remained taciturn and solitary, keeping to himself while working as a spacecraft mechanic. After enduring a long, empty life, Ye An resolved to end his meaningless existence. Having ruled out every other way to die, he finally got his chance when pirates invaded the asteroid. At last, he could die without inconveniencing anyone. But a gentle, responsible major general stopped him. Once, twice, again and again, Ye An failed to die as he wished. “Why keep living?” When Ye An asked with a mocking edge in his voice and a gaze that seemed ready to crumble, Li Nuo fell uncharacteristically silent. The youngest major general in the Alliance, Li Nuo came from a distinguished family and had an outstanding military record. He commanded the highest-grade independent battleship in the fleet, the Morningstar. His gentle, smiling, pale green eyes always put people at ease. His signature mechanical tail was imposing and flamboyant. Voted the most popular officer on the StarNet, his fame had spread throughout the entire Interstellar Alliance. But now he was stumped by a genius on the verge of breaking, someone who had seen through the very nature of life. Li Nuo had no idea how to persuade him. “Would you let me come with you to look for the answer?” At first: Li Nuo: I can’t stand by and watch Ye An throw his life away, but I don’t want to force him, either. After a year, he can decide whether to stay or go. Ye An: Plenty of things can go wrong on an interstellar journey. Later: The mechanical tail wrapped tightly around Ye An, rubbing his cheek with reluctant affection. Li Nuo held him close and begged again and again in a low voice, “No matter what, live for me.” His lover’s tears were sulfuric acid, shooting stars, each drop striking him where he stood. Ye An’s heart, long since withered, finally felt pain. He gently wiped the wet tracks from Li Nuo’s face, his voice trembling. “I’ll try.” On the eve of their wedding, the captain of the Morningstar received an application from the Naturally Delusional Laboratory. Applicant: Ye An Term: Until the end of my natural life. Every stroke was written with utmost care. P.S. The bottom isn’t weak in bed, and a strong bottom doesn’t mean the top is weak! The bottom taking the initiative doesn’t mean the top is weak, either! The top is a perfectly normal man =_= Theme: Stay positive and live life with optimism.
