Grim Reaper, Please Wait

The Celestial Master Li Buyi, using the assumed name Li Xin, has lived in the mortal world for over a thousand years through the forbidden art of soul transference. Once every sixty years, the process is as agonizing as being slowly flayed alive.

Only one obsession has sustained him through endless cycles of reincarnation: finding Chi Yu's soul and bringing him back to life.

That man was the senior brother who raised him, the divine being who pulled him out of hell, and... his beloved.

Through year after year of fruitless searching, Li Xin refused to give up as long as even the slightest hope remained.

Perhaps Heaven took pity on him. After a thousand years of searching, he miraculously found his way to a reunion.

He grabbed Chi Yu's hand and stared at him without blinking. "Senior Brother, is it really you?"

But the man before him looked at him with cold, unfamiliar eyes, pulled free, and rebuked him. "Have some manners! The underworld officials are at work. The living must stand aside. Leave at once!"

He doesn't remember me? Li Xin was speechless.

"I've searched for you for a thousand years. You can't just say you don't remember me and expect to get away with it!" Li Xin's eyes reddened. He would use every means at his disposal to cling to Chi Yu. Even in death, he would stay stuck to him.

"It's all right if you don't remember me, Senior Brother. I'll remember you for both of us."

Chi Yu had been a ghost official for years and had seen countless demons and monsters, but never anything like this. He snapped, "How dare you!"

"This is what you call daring?" Li Buyi took the opportunity to pull Chi Yu into his arms. "We've done far more outrageous things. Want me to help Senior Brother remember?"

After returning to the underworld, Chi Yu couldn't stop thinking about Li Xin. He decided to go to the mortal world to find him and learn the truth about his past.

In Li Xin's secret chamber, he saw another fragment of his own soul. After merging with it, he glimpsed the intimate history he and Li Xin had shared in the hazy remnants of his memories.

It hit him like a thunderbolt!

But he's my junior brother!

How could I... have fallen in love with my own junior brother?!

The upcoming novel "Surrounded by a Gang of Suitors" is updating now.

Four tops bickering over one another, a grand battle of male rivals, with occasional one-on-one pairings.

Zhang Yanzong is not only a renowned young talent in Rongcheng, but also blessed with a breathtakingly handsome face. Unfortunately, he is chronically ill and frail.

After his father died, he made a deal with He Qingyun, trading himself for help so his stepmother and younger brother wouldn't take the entire family fortune. He managed to reclaim his share of the inheritance and build a thriving business, but he never stopped hoping to escape He Qingyun's control.

So at a business gathering, he volunteered to negotiate a tribute payment with a band of outlaws.

He never expected the bandit chief, Fu Xiao, to be the same family servant who had taken his place in the army ten years ago. Reunited after so long, Zhang Yanzong quickly noticed Fu Xiao's feelings for him. It turned out Fu Xiao had fallen for him ten years earlier and had never forgotten him.

And he wasn't the only one who noticed. Zhang Run, the loyal servant who had always stayed by his side, saw Fu Xiao's feelings too. Zhang Run knew he was only a servant and unworthy of his master, but that didn't mean just anyone could covet him.

After that, whenever the three men met, they openly competed for Zhang Yanzong's favor and secretly tried to outdo one another, leaving him utterly exasperated.

But Heaven wasn't about to let him off so easily. A chance encounter brought Gu Changyu, a scholar who had studied abroad, into his life as well.

Zhang Yanzong wanted to cry. Now things were even more chaotic!

Fu Xiao: "Young Master, I've loved you for ten years. Come with me."

He Qingyun: "Stop flattering yourself. He's mine!"

Gu Changyu: "None of you gets to decide. He should choose for himself, and he'll definitely choose me."

Zhang Run: "My master has me. What are you all fighting over?"

Zhang Yanzong: "All of you, shut up!"
