Springtime Encounters

[The entire story has been revised. Entering VIP on August 25. Thank you for your support!]

[A revenge-driven, career-minded protagonist x a swordsman who's innocent at first and turns into a scheming green tea later]

A great tragedy happened in the jianghu. Ten years have passed, and it's gradually been forgotten.

On the rare occasions someone brings it up, they can only sigh and lament how cold and fickle the world is.

Yan An, one of the victims, sneers: Since everyone in the jianghu is pretending to be blind, I'll seek justice myself!

He thought he'd be alone, but his luck was incredible: he met a capable swordsman.

Yan An started scheming: The swordsman has a handsome face, a strong build, and impressive skills. Hmm, he can stay!

Just as Yan An was thinking about how to win the swordsman over, he saw the man staring at his face, blushing to the ears, and approaching him of his own accord.

Yan An touched his face. Wait, something's not right. Could this guy have fallen for me?!

For the sake of his revenge, Yan An diligently maintains their fragile brotherly bond.

The swordsman keeps making little moves, holding his hand and putting an arm around his waist. Yan An lets him.

The swordsman acts like a green tea and plays the victim. Yan An pretends not to notice and indulges him.

The swordsman climbs into his bed in the middle of the night. Yan An... "Wait! We're both men!"

Yan An panics. How did our brotherly bond turn into this?!

Liang Heng grew up in the mountains, hearing all his life about the jianghu's picturesque scenery and countless experts, but never seeing it for himself.

With his master's permission, Liang Heng sets out to explore the jianghu.

Thanks to his superb swordsmanship, Liang Heng enjoys a smooth and carefree journey.

That is, until one day, a man as beautiful as a painting catches his eye.

Romance stories say you have to take the initiative to find yourself a wife, so Liang Heng eagerly gets to work.

Step one: Use physical contact to get closer. Not rejected. Success!

Step two: Show off his skills to protect the one he loves. Success!

Step three: Being a little vulnerable now and then can bring them closer. Success!

The final step: Make love to him... and get rejected.

Yan An: How can two men possi...

Liang Heng pounces to cut him off: Who says you can't take a man as your wife?

[Reader's Guide]

1. The plot and romance are roughly split fifty-fifty.

2. The protagonist is a bit of a magnet for admirers, but in a friendship kind of way.

3. Both leads are each other's firsts. There's a slight ensemble cast, with quite a few characters.

4. The author is bad at writing blurbs, so focus on the actual story.

Theme: Look back on where I have been, and gaze at spring with me
