Beautiful, strong, and tragic x sweet on the outside, dark within.
Love and hate | Mutual taming | Saving each other | From a pawn to the one in their heart.
Lin Rongshi, a devilish author who loves tragic endings, transmigrates into his own book and becomes a cannon-fodder character who dies from the start.
Armed with the complete plot and knowing everyone's fate, he changes the cannon fodder's destiny, then sits back and waits for the mad villain he wrote, the ultimate boss Chi Chen, to be cornered by Feng Ye, the protagonist who transmigrated into the book with a System, and meet a gruesome end.
But as he happily watches the drama unfold, Lin Rongshi is the one who gets cornered by the villain himself.
As the Grand Priest of Miaojiang, Chi Chen is the undisputed uncrowned king of this modern fantasy world.
He can sense countless threads of fate intertwining, yet he can't see through this soul that appeared from nowhere, especially when the other man's gaze is cold, yet seems to regard him as a possession.
Chi Chen's icy fingertips brush the side of Lin Rongshi's neck. His voice is low and dangerous. "A soul that shouldn't exist."
As soon as the words leave his mouth, a kiss carrying the scent of ylang-ylang falls.
A love gu, symbolizing a deep bond and a shared life and death, is planted inside Lin Rongshi amid excruciating pain.
Under the love gu's influence, Lin Rongshi is forced to see the Chi Chen who exists beyond the script.
He repairs the roofs of orphaned children's homes. On full moon nights, he curls up alone, enduring the agony of countless gu insects burning his heart.
The cool detachment of an onlooker begins to crumble, piece by piece.
When the love gu flares up, Chi Chen holds him captive in his arms, his burning breath branding Lin Rongshi's ear.
Chi Chen's words sound like both an accusation and a plea. "If there were no love gu, would you be just like them, waiting for me to meet a terrible end?"
Lin Rongshi looks up to meet his unfathomable gaze. His fingertip traces the crimson gu mark between Chi Chen's brows, and he smiles. "Guess."
Chi Chen is bound in shackles and can't break free. He knows Lin Rongshi is full of schemes and means him no good, yet he helplessly falls for him, unable to pull himself out.
Lin Rongshi, meanwhile, watches from the sidelines, always knowing when to advance or retreat, as if nothing in the world could touch him, perfectly composed and in control.
Later, when Chi Chen is gravely wounded and near death, Lin Rongshi, who has always been calm and collected, goes mad.
Since he had already entered the game...
To hell with coldly watching from the sidelines. To hell with the predetermined ending.
The author with the script in hand decides to step into the story himself.
He will hunt down the heaven-chosen protagonist and protect his villain. He created this world, and he'll rewrite it too.
At the story's beginning, I looked toward the ending where you were doomed to die, only to realize that you were the one star that lit my way.
-Next novel: Pheromone-
Devotion on both sides + desperate need for love + radically different perceptions and deep mistrust + eight hundred breakups and reconciliations, then mending the broken relationship over and over again.
Incubus x jealous lover, switch couple.
Everyone in Haicheng knows that the Liang and Xiao families are bound together by countless business interests, a bond no outsider can shake.
The heirs of the Liang and Xiao families are especially close, renowned as bosom friends who would entrust each other with their lives. They're inseparable: wherever Liang Zhaonian is, Xiao Yuming is sure to be there too.
Their friends tease them, saying they're so close they could wear the same pair of pants, and no one could ever come between them.
Only Liang Zhaonian knows that he and Xiao Yuming aren't as close as everyone thinks.
He can tell that Xiao Yuming doesn't love him, and might even find him annoying.
Even fewer people know that, beyond friendship, they have a secret relationship as bedmates.
The absurd thing is, this twisted relationship has been on the verge of collapse from the very beginning.
Barely holding on.
After years of passion and endless back-and-forth, Xiao Yuming has always been the one Liang Zhaonian longs for but can never have.
Among the rich young heirs and trust-fund brats of Haicheng, Xiao Yuming is the most rebellious and carefree. He wanders through a sea of flowers without a leaf sticking to him, living it up with no one able to hold on to him.
What no one knows is that the leash holding Xiao Yuming has always been in Liang Zhaonian's hands. He just can't be bothered to pull it.
I've long since decided that he is the one who matters most to me. He is also my only one.
For the 108th time, can we stop pushing each other away?
