Drumming and Listening for Bells

“You saved my life, so naturally...”

“I should give myself to you?”

Qin Le transmigrated after dying suddenly from overwork. On his very first day, he found himself a job drawing maps. Room and board included, no overtime, and a kind boss.

While running around the mountains, Qin Le noticed something was off about him. He loved drinking water, didn’t need to eat, his hair grew especially fast, and he healed incredibly quickly.

So one day, when bandits attacked, he reflexively took a knife for his boss, Pei Xiyan.

Then, another day, he saw Pei Xiyan in danger, protecting the person behind him without regard for his own safety. Knowing his own abilities had weakened, Qin Le still rushed in.

After being rescued with serious injuries, Qin Le looked at his wounds, which had withered to a dry husk, and thought he didn’t have long to live. Then he watched Pei Xiyan fuss over someone else and left in disappointment.

Many days later, Qin Le waited under a pagoda tree for death to come. Instead, Pei Xiyan showed up, sneaking around.

One-on-one, mutual pining, happy ending.

An imaginary dynasty, with most of the story loosely based on history.

Thank you all for being willing to read this story (^v^)
